Is wearing a pad embarrassing?

Posted at: 2014-07-17 
Everyone I know wears a tampon and it seems like I'm the only one who wears pads.. I don't find tampons comfortable. Is it embarrassing to wear a pad?

No you shouldn't feel embarrassed for choosing to wear a pad opposed to a tampon.. In your circle of friends it may seem like you are the only one wearing a pad. However next time you're in the store pass by the feminine products. Ask yourself if they'd stock all those pads for just you. lol :) Of course not. Lots of women use pads for variety of reasons. Some like you feel it is more comfortable. Some because they feel it is more sanitary. Some for religious reasons. When you make choices for your body that are healthy and reasonable you shouldn't feel embarrassed.

embarrassing to who?? no one is going to know unless you announce it so I just dont get it

its not embarrassing and how will people even know dont worry its just about what feels comfortable for you

it shouldn't be embarrassing every one has a preference and you should wear what feels comfortable to you

I agree...pads are easier to manage. Don't be embarrassed. Although you can feel them...people don't see them unless you're wearing sheer bottoms...which you should be anyway lol.

I don't think it's that big of a deal. I only wear tampons when I go swimming on my period. Pads are so much easier to deal with IMO.

It's only embarrassing if you think it is. If you find tampons uncomfortable and would rather use pads, then that's the only thing that matters, not what others think or do.
