Another Reason to use pads...

Found this today. Hm, I've never had a urinary tract infection, but I hear they are painful and apparently the MAJORITY of women will get at least one in her life! I wonder if tampons have anything to do with it:

Use pads instead of tampons. "I advise those of my patients experiencing chronic infection at the time of menstruation to quit using tampons and replace them with pads," says Joseph Corriere, M.D., director of the Division of Urology at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. For the same reason, he cautions that some women may want to reconsider use of a diaphragm.
