I started using tampons in HS when I played soccer and have never gone back to wearing pads. It really does feel like a diaper, and I don't understand how some people can wear them, escpecially if you are very active. I mean, what a way to ruin a day at the beach! I know that OB now has one out with the applicator, for those who want to try but want the applicator. I have heard a rumor (a long time agao, don't know it it's true at all) that you shouldn't use certain brands of tampons or tampons at all because they contain a chemical that actually makes us bleed more, neccesitating the use of more tampons(manufacturing trick). I heard that the 100% cotton ones are the safest.. again, just a rumor, and I'll continue to use them until a docor tells me otherwise.
