Do You Use The Same Tampon/Pad Brands As Your Mother or Daughter?

Do any of you use the same brand of tampon/pad as your mother? Those of you with daughters, does she use the same brand as you?

I am thinking that at some point you're taught about using tampons and pads, likely by your mother, and that your first introduction would involve whatever brands she uses. I wonder if women tend to stay with those brands or if they change.

I was encouraged to try several brands of tampons to find the one I like the best. I do have a preference. It is not relevant if it is the brand my mother used. As for pads and liners, read my posts. I have written about my loathing of anything related to pads, liners, napkins etc.

Nope! My best friend got her periods one year before me. She had it all figured out. Tampax for tampons , Kotex for pads and once in a while when i use panty liners I prefer Jhonson and jhonsons.

Whereas my mom always use stayfree secure. which I have never used !

Growing up I did in fact use the same brand of tampon and it was Tampax except mom used supers and I used juniors at first. I think mom used only Tampax, but in college I switched to OB, which I liked a lot better being there being no applicator. Several years ago my daughter told me that she had discovered the Diva Cup and encouraged me to try one, which I did. I used it up until I went thru menopause.

When I was a teen I used Kotex pads and sanitary belts, so did my mother. I changed to tampons after I married.

I have used a number of pads and not the same as my mom. It doesn't really matter about which one I use, sometimes they last for full 8 hours and sometimes less so changing them accordingly is what really matters.

Three females only in this house . We use Tampax Pearl . I just buy the packs of mixed absorbency ones . There is a packet of Always with wings in the bathroom but they have never been opened . My mum went through the menopause at 36 , she introduced me to pads when I first started my period but I quickly changed to Tampax . That's what mum used too .

Yes. Allthough I tried all sorts of brands. I prefer the one my mom buys for the two of us.
