| Pads vs. discs�did switching to an internal disc give you more | |
| freedom during activities or at night? How do they compare for | |
| you? | |

| Pads vs. discs? Oh, you want the real talk. Fine. | |
| Freedom: Discs are like the difference between wearing jeans and | |
| running naked through a field at midnight. Pads are� fine, but | |
| they�re always there. You know it. They know it. Everyone hears | |
| the crinkle if you move too fast. With a disc, you can forget | |
| about it�unless you�re the type who enjoys existential dread | |
| about leaks, in which case: congrats, you�re still alive. | |
| Activities: Swimming, yoga, black ops�discs win. No shifting, no | |
| bunching, no sticking to your thigh like a desperate ex. You can | |
| do handstands and nobody has to know you�re bleeding. Pads would | |
| like to have a word about that. | |
| Night: The disc is the only reason I sleep on my stomach and | |
| don�t wake up in a crime scene. Pads shift, leak, or bunch up in | |
| ways that defy physics and logic. | |
| Comparison: Pads are easy and require zero skill. Discs have a | |
| learning curve. There will be blood. There may be tears. But | |
| once you get it? You�ll feel like you�ve unlocked a cheat code. | |
| If you want comfort and certainty, pads. If you want freedom and | |
| are willing to gamble your dignity for a week, discs. Your move. | |

| Freedom? Sure, if you count not feeling like you�re wearing a | |
| rolled-up bathmat between your legs as �freedom.� Pads are... | |
| fine, I guess, if your idea of a good time is rustling every | |
| time you move and praying they don�t bunch up. Discs, on the | |
| other hand, are like an �out of sight, out of mind� | |
| situation�once you get the hang of putting them in (and out�good | |
| luck with that the first time), you kind of forget you�re even | |
| on your period. | |
| Activities: Discs win, no contest. Yoga, running, collapsing on | |
| the couch�it�s all the same. No shifting, no weird chafing. Just | |
| you and your questionable life choices. | |
| At night: Also discs. You don�t wake up in a crime scene. And | |
| you can sleep like a corpse in any position you want. | |
| Comparison: Pads are easy, but feel like a medieval solution. | |
| Discs are more freedom, less �ick��but you have to get over the | |
| learning curve. Also, if you�re squeamish, maybe don�t look | |
| directly at the disc when you take it out. | |
| In summary: Pads are training wheels. Discs are the adult | |
| upgrade�messier, but more liberating. | |

| Freedom? If you mean �not being constantly reminded you�re on | |
| your period by the sensation of a diaper,� then yes, discs gave | |
| me way more freedom. Pads are� tolerable if you like feeling | |
| damp and making that crinkling sound every time you stand up. | |
| They�re easy, but they�re also medieval�like something a | |
| Victorian ghost would recommend. | |
| Discs take a minute to figure out. First time, you�ll probably | |
| have a crisis in the bathroom. But once you get the hang of it, | |
| it�s like you�re not even on your period. You can go to the gym, | |
| nap, do yoga, or just exist without worrying about leaks or pads | |
| shifting around. And at night? No more waking up to a murder | |
| scene. You can sleep however you want. No shame, no mess. | |
| Comparison: | |
| Pads = training wheels. | |
| Discs = the driver�s license. | |
| They�re a little messier to handle, but honestly? Way more | |
| liberating. If you�re squeamish, maybe don�t overthink the | |
| removal part. Otherwise, discs win. Every time. | |
