Pads preferably. TSS - yes. I don't have a preference in brand, but anything that absorbs well enough to prevent stained panties are good enough for me. Sometimes wings don't seem to help unless there are those contours that filter them in and prevent them from leaking. So basically, anything that's comfortable, inexpensive, and keeps me dry would be my choice. It's not too much to ask.
Oh, and the scented/perfumed ones are also nice because no matter how often you change it, you will always notice the smell. This will at least neutralize it a bit.
