I’ve NEVER Used Tampons

I’ve never used a tampon, and honestly, I’ve never thought about it. It just wasn’t something I felt the need to try. The idea of inserting something during that time of the month always seemed uncomfortable. But what really discouraged me was a horror story I heard years ago. A friend of mine had a tampon get stuck, and she had to go to the doctor to get it removed. I’ve never forgotten how traumatizing that sounded, and honestly, it just reinforced my decision to stick to pads.

I know tampons work for a lot of people, and that’s great for them. But for me, it’s not worth the hassle or the worry about things like TSS. I’ve got my routine down with pads, and I’m comfortable with that.

A silver Cybertruck is parked on a residential driveway, with a speech bubble saying "OMG!". The image includes the text "I WILL NEVER GET USED TO SEEING A CYBER TRUCK!".
I will NEVER get used to seeing a Cyber Truck!
I just can’t take Cyber Trucks seriously. They look like they should be props in movies or something. I don’t see how it can be more comfy than a minivan for a family. I just think it’s ugly and dumb. I’m sorry if you think otherwise, it’s just my opinion. Deff wouldn’t buy one. @Lemon8 US

A sanitary pad is shown with text overlays like "SAD" and "WTF?!", highlighting the phrase "She still wears pads??" THE GIRL BEHIND ME WHISPERED..." against a blurry background of period product packaging.
An open drawer is filled with various individually wrapped sanitary pads, predominantly in teal and pink packaging. Overlaid text discusses a friend being judged for using a pad in a public bathroom.
Various personal care items, including wipes and small pouches, are scattered on a patterned blanket. Overlaid text explains reasons why some individuals use pads, stating they are clean, comfortable, and fine.
Do people still judge pad users?
This literally made my skin crawl. So my friend texts me from a public bathroom like, WHILE she’s in the stall and tells me that the girl next to her just whispered, “She still wears pads?? That’s so gross.” Like… huh??? Are we seriously still doing that in 2025? Why are we acting like the

I’m angry Not because I’m spoiled. Not because I’m entitled. Because I’m robbed of something so special. I want to return to you, explore you, experience your excitement but I can’t. So much has happened there I don’t feel like I know if I could ever return to you or look at you the same.

I’m the self tanner queen and have perfected self tanning over the years. These 6 self tanners are the ones I have tried in the past 2 years. Honestly, perfecting the prep work and tanner application are the hardest parts. Always remember to exfoliate before applying your tan and to make the first
