Pros: Nothing to shove up your sore vagina, no risk of toxic shock syndrome, everyone has pads
Cons: diaper in your underwear, you can literally FEEL the blood and/or clots dripping out, if you sit wrong or lie down it might shift and you'll leak across your legs.
Tampons
Pros: no dripping sensation, smaller than pads, nothing weird in your underwear and 90% less chance of leaks
Cons: not everyone has a tampon if you need to ask for need one, if you're sore then deal with the pain of insertion, toxic shock syndrome can KILL you
