What if I get my period at the pool?

 
I’ve been invited to a bunch of pool parties this summer. What if I have my period? I’m scared of tampons.

Tampons can be super scary at first. But, if you want to swim during your period, tampons are a must.
 
Wigged out about the possibility of toxic shock syndrome? “The risk is extremely small, especially if you don’t keep a tampon in for more than several hours at a time,” says gynecologist Dr. Janet Rubin.
 
Dr. Rubin suggests trying a slender tampon on a day of full flow sometime before the first pool party. So by the time bikini season rolls around, you’ll be a pro.

Im a swimmer so I swim everyday and this Saturday I have a swim meet. I just got my period today for the third time so far, so Im pretty new to all this.
Anyways, I prefer pads over tampons. No matter how messy or gross they can be. But i have used tampons before. But only the light ones because it hurts to use bigger ones. And im ok putting them in but taking them out hurts!!
So this weekend my period will probably be a little heavier so will lights be enough? Or will they leak? Im really worried because i dont like bigger ones!







Hey girl!  You can probably use a light one, whatever size you're more comfortable with is what matters.  Try to relax when you're putting it in and removing it and it won't hurt! xxoo

How old should you be to use a tampon? Recently I had to sit on the benches at the pool as my family and friends had a blast because my mom says I'm too young to use one. I'm 13, almost 14, and I have had my period for almost two years.

 

Hey chica! It's all personal preference.  You can start whenever you want or whenever your mom approves.  xoxo

Hi, so um I'm 11 and I have been in puberty for 9 months, and I'm expecting my period this summer (seems about right) so I thought I might try tampons just to get the feel of what they're like, I know very well about where they go, but I just can't find it. I've tried really hard relaxing while attempting, but it is just impossible for me to find! This question is probably gross, but it might give me lots of stress and problems in the future. So, do any of you guys have some advice on how to find it? Thanks a bunch Smile and if you have any ideas for stress relievers, then that would be great.

 

Hey! here's some tips:

I just got my period and the blood goes up my butt and it's really uncomfortable is their anything I can do to stop that?




Hey girl,

Do you mean it's going up your butt on the outside? Unfortunately, periods can get very messy, especially if you're wearing a pad. Try to change your pads more frequently, or wear a tampon.
