Default girly times
 
Hi please keep anon or delete.
was just wondering what products the girls of tsr find best for their period. I prefer sanitary towels. What sort are best, with or without wings? Just really wondering what people prefered and why. There are so many different types out now like always silk and freshelle. Just wondered what peoples opinions were. I know the mooncup is getting more popular too but I don't think they seem a bit scary for myself.

Evil.

I have the IUD coil and it's a bitch; it makes your periods heavier and longer.

So I use super plus tampons, and pads at the end when it's really really light.

no, there's nothing wrong with taking certain types of the pill constantly so you don't have "periods"
...but that is if you think taking hormonal contraception is healthy
