A member asked:
What should i use so i don't afftect my bv a tampon or a pad please answer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pad: Use a pad if you are still treating the infection so that the tampon does not absorb the medication. Don't forget to change the mini-pad frequently if there is leakage to decrease the risk of continuing to foster the infection on a "stale" pad.
