This is a tough question LOL.
I used to use tampax, but then I switched to playtex. But how much different are the tampax pearl compared to the plain ol' regular ones? I have always been curious, and I'm normally in a hurry and forget to buy a box.

i use to be a tampon girl and then i switched to playtex cuz they were more comfortable and stayed in better i found, but i saw the pear's advertising and tried them and now i like them better, it feels like absolutley nothing is in there which is awesome and never leaks Smile love it!

the only kind of tampon i like are playtex. tampax always hurt coming out, i think it's because tampax expand the long way and playtex open like a flower. i use the playtex gentle glide unscented. i hate putting anything scented in my vagina.

every since i gave birth though my periods have been super light and i haven't really been able to use tampons, so i've been using always pads. i like them because they're really thin but do the job. i also love their panty liners. i buy my pads at bj's (wholesale club) and i buy 3 different kinds so our linen closet has a whole shelf devoted to my "lady products" (that's what nick calls them).

Hopefully mine won't come for that long because my sister's wedding is three weeks after my due date and i'm supposed to be wearing ivory. I'm going to breast feed thoguh so that should hold it off for a bit longer too

I wish we had baby showers in the UK, i want one but feel really rude asking for one. I may or may not fit into the dress, it was a little too big before and so far i've only got a bump thats all baby so i may be lucky if not i'll get giat control pants to wear under!
