hey you know there's always tampons but i heard they hurt....
is that true. i'm too scared to wear one. call me chicken and fry me up but i don't care i'm scared.
It's not so much that they hurt. It's more what they do to your body. In tampons, especially the plastic ones, there is a chemical that can harm your body. Women who regularly wear tampons get a condition called Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). It can cause a virus to enter your body, and attack you. It's been known to be fatal and may even kill you.
It's alright to use tampons at a minimum. I, myself, only use them when I go swimming. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend it. I will continue to use the Stayfree Ultra Thins. Much better in my opinion.
After that overview, I doubt you would want to use tampons. But look at it this way, I use them, and still alive! Just do it for swimming, and you'll be fine.
