Requesting WAY TOO MUCH INFO (enter at your own risk)

I am suddenly fascinated by this topic BECAUSE... a colleague of mine (in her 30s) just confessed to me that she cannot figure out how to use tampons. I honestly and sincerely believed that every woman over the age of 18 used them. It never occurred to me that people might not know HOW.

So... do you? Use them? If not... is it because they are uncomfortable or because you can't figure out how they work or is it because of health concerns? I am really pretty curious. And I am sick and unable to do much of anything so I have a lot of weird thoughts on my mind these days.

I use pads.....I'm urinary tract infection prone...so it's just better for me. Plus being on birth control for the past 7 years, my period has been pretty light- I only have it for 4-5 days and can get away with using panti liners. I was shocked to see how many girls use tampons!
