Periods ... (merged threads)

Yet another period thread....tampons or towels?

I just wondered what you guys use.
Most people I know use sanitary towels, but have you ever tried a tampon? I have tried them ages ago when we got them free from school but I wouldn't use them regularly. I prefer towels.

Also I think there is something called toxic shock syndrome or something like that can be caused by using tampons.

What do you think?
