Okay, I finally convinced my mom to start letting me wear tampons. But we're going in the afternoon to get them. (And Im on my period) But my dad wanted me to go down on his bike (motorcycle) to a couple places that are hours away, even in another state, and I have to wear pads. Last time I had an overflow. I'm afraid of that happening again. We're going in the morning at like 11:00am. So what can I do to prevent this? Is there anything I can do? And for another question, what about the tampons? Will they hurt, what if I forget about them,or if I can't understand the directions? Please help. Sorry this is so long. But i'll rate high for good answers. Thanks a lot.

To answer the tampon question, make sure you start out with a Junior or Light Tampon. They shouldn't hurt, but they might feel a little uncomfortable. If you can feel it, chances are it's in wrong. Remove it, and try again. It usually takes a few tries to get the process right.

Don't worry, you won't forget about it. The directions are pretty simple...just remember to never leave it in for more than 8 hours.

Good luck.
