Do you have anyone you can talk to in your life? Your mon would love to help you, I'm sure. As a mom, I feel it is part of my job to help my kids with these kinds of questions (besides, she'll have to buy them for you, wont she?). A big sister, an aunt?? You need to find a confidant close to you to discuss things as when you are very young, you can have a LOT of questions.
So, what do you think the pros and cons are? It's a personal choice for what someone likes. I've used tampons since I started my period. Easy, less messy and bulky. But that is my opinion. good luck
