Would You Prefer Pillows or Cotton Plugs Up Your Vagina?

Periods are a big reality of life that women could never get away from. Unless they’re pre-puberty stage. Or they’re beyond 50 (usually).

And when it comes to periods, the biggest debate would always be: TAMPONS OR PADS?

It’s really hard to come up with one single decision especially because each option has its own advantages and disadvantages. Most often, women choose one over the other depending on the situation. You certainly can’t go wearing pads with your bikini on while you wade in the pool — right?

True, putting a tampon up your dry vagina is never pleasant but it’s biggest perk is that you DO have something up your vagina the whole day. LOL.

Comfort is always a big factor but there’s always other things to consider…like sanitation. Uhhm, toxic shock syndrome with tampons, anyone?

In the end, women should decide on whichever will make them feel comfortable, confident and empowered.

You go, super girl!
