Pads actually give me sores on the insides of my legs when I'm walking around and I just can't insert tampons properly so they cause great pain and discomfort too Please help.
Try a slim tampon. I believe Tampax and Playtex both make 'slimmer' versions of the regular tampon, for girls who are just learning to use them, so they're more comfortable to insert! Good luck.
Well, you could always use a washcloth or rag instead of a pad, but that's probably not the most sanitary though. And there's always the possibility of adult diapers...
