hmmm...
Well, tampons r much more secure than sanitary pads u noe. Sanitary pads leak often n whereas tampons don't.
I told my gf to use tampons too, but den she is kinda used 2 sanitary pads so its kinda hard 2 change.
But if u r saying dat by using tampons won't break da hymen of a virgin, i seriously doubt, especially for beginners.

yep, u all r right. Its da angle. I was told by a friend of mine dat its da angle dat matters when it comes to using a tampon. Da idea is to fit it in da correct position or else u will get dat pain. Its not easy to get da rite spot as its a wide space inside.
