I didn't know what pads were for, so I assumed they were like mini diapers, so that you would just wear it all the time and if your bladder was ever nearly bursting, you'd let a bit out so you'd be okay until you had time to go to the bathroom. You can imagine my moms shock when I asked her why pads weren't advertised for boys too.
