Either: 98 percent of women use both. Pads once in are more discrete and you can wear doing activities such as swimming. Negative are you can still leak a little and soil bedding or clothing. Another negative is possibility of Toxic Shock Syndrome, but this was more of a problem in the past. Pads are still used most frequently though. The choice is yours!
