The question "Is toilet paper better than pads?" is a bit like asking "Is a hammer better than a screwdriver?" The answer depends on what you're trying to do.
- Pads are designed for menstrual flow, providing a barrier to absorb and contain menstrual blood. They come in various sizes and absorbencies to suit different needs.
- Toilet paper is designed for cleaning after using the toilet. It's not intended to absorb heavy fluid like menstrual blood.
Therefore, pads are better than toilet paper for managing menstrual flow. Toilet paper is not designed for this purpose and could lead to discomfort, leakage, and potential health risks.
