text: tampons or pads? prom is tomorrow and i dont kno which to wear the thing is i usually wear pads? i would say if you are not used to them, you should stick with your norm. unless you want to try out tampons today and see how that goes, some women take awhile to get used to not feeling them, others don't hardly notice. but whichever you choose if you are going to be that active, i would slip an extra in the bottom of your purse and switch it out half way through the night to avoid the embarrasement of leakage. you really can not see a string dangling unless you know it is there, as long as you are wearing undies you'll be fine. you might also opt for some control top pantyhose, that way if you have a little leak or accident it won't be too detrimental to your dress... the most important thing is to not stress about it and use whichever you are more comfortable with.
