Is it normal to never use tampons?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s completely normal to never use tampons. You can use pads, period underwear, a menstrual cup, or whatever works for you—or choose not to use internal products at all.
Absolutely. Plenty of people never use tampons, whether they prefer pads or period underwear, don’t like the idea of inserting anything, or simply haven’t had a reason to try them.
There’s no period-product requirement you’re missing. Use whatever feels comfortable and suits your life; tampons are an option, not a rite of passage.
