This WEEK I can speak first hand how pads don't work while swimming. I forgot I was wearing one and went straight into my pool. Can't believe I'm writing this on a public forum. Anyway, about 3 minutes later I get out of the pool.
Uh no, they don't work. The sticky back no longer sticks due to getting wet.
I think tampons are proper for any girl 12-13 yes, that's young but I think it's her period and her comfort. Parents who don't believe in Tampons, or they set an age limit, say 16, the girl/girls are most likely to wear them anyway, so don't make them sneak behind your back and deceive you. Compromising is the answer! I'm 25, and I personally don't use Tampons, they hurt, I am still a virgin, that's the way it's staying until I'm married. If anyone has anything to say, please let me know. Thank you.

All I have to say is that even if you decide to use a tampon, you'll still be virgin.
No tampons for me until I was 15 or so...that's what my dad bought ( I was sent to live with him when I was 15). I was ecstatic! Anyway, I use them to this day....I can't imagine a pad to take care of Aunt Flo. However, my sister is 28 and still uses pads. Grosses me out.
I will teach my daughters how to use tampons...they are so much more convenient and easier to deal with than a pad. One of my most horrific memories is from 8th grade...I had on a pad and leaked...the entire class saw it. I was mortified. Mortified. I'm 38 and still wanna hide my face when that danged memory crops up.
I think any dad who has more than a concerned interest in takling to his daughter about this is strange. Call me closed minded if you want but it's not something men ever need to be getting into unless there is no other choice. Definitely not the one to suggest what to use, that's for damn sure.
In his defense, he was married to a woman that had a daughter my age as well. She could've been the one to suggest that I wear tampons...in fact I think she was. In any case, he DID NOT show me how to put them in....I knew how too already, but I wasn't allowed to use them in the home I was in before.
Nothing weird or creepy going on there, I can assure you. I just always thought it was weird that my mother pointed me in the direction of pads for so long and NEVER gave me an option. I think it's a comfort thing, but others may disagree.
Wearing a pad, to me, feels like wearing a diaper. Sometimes, you can even hear the plastic making noises when you sit down or move around. Plus you can definitely feel the "liquid" just sitting there between your legs, and it even gets on the sides of your legs. So messy and uncomfortable. No thanks.
