I have lived through the good times and the bad times. I am a very bright kid, and I know a lot of stuff that other kids may not know about because I've already experienced it. There are no DUMB questions....Only DUMB people for not asking!!

summer is coming up and i am going to be swimming ALOT. i got my period at the very end of last summer so i didnt have to worry about swimming. but now that this summer is getting closer i am considering tampons so i can swim whenever i want. my questions are what brand of tampons are best and should i start now so i will be more confortable or will it matter?

thank you.

I am not a girl, but I can answer your questions because I have "been with" many girls if you know what I mean :) Ok so here we go. There are several different types of tampons out there. Most of the girls that I have been with all use playtex or kotex tampons. They say that tampax is the most uncomfortable. Try to find a "light and easy" tampon with a plastic applicator as opposed to a "heavy" tampon with a cardboard applicator. My recommendation is that you start trying them now. If inserted properly, you shouldn't feel anything. Don't forget to change it though. If you forget it inside yourself, you could get "toxic shock syndrome" which is a bacterial infection. Follow the directions properly instead of listening to friends tell you how to use them because you'd be surprised at how many girls don't know how to actually use tampons. One of my gf's say that if you have trouble getting it inside, then just use a waterbased lubricant to help ease the tampon inside yourself. Give it a couple of shots and don't ever feel embarassed to explore your body. Good Luck!!
