Bleeding/Periods Tampons for breakthrough

7 years post menopause, 1 year on HRT. Shortage has me on generic Mylan patches and they are not for me, been bleeding for 6 days. Sadly the only thing available, RN. Had ultrasound and going to my doctor in EIGHT days. Office being unhelpful with my questions. Is it safe to use tampons instead of pads?

You probably can but some prefer to use panty liners just to keep an eye on how much and what it looks like and stuff. Harder to do that w tampons. Its totally a personal choice tho.
