u/If-Im-Here-Im-Sad

I'm 38 and I have been using tampons almost exclusively my whole life, and I think I have reached the point of wanting to switch to pads. I just don't know which brands are good and which ones will let me down so I could really use some suggestions. I'm in the U.S. if that helps with brand choices. I see so many and I would rather avoid testing a bunch of different ones if possible.
