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.

I know how you feel! I had a hard time switching over to tampons, but i like them soo much more. It all depends on how comfortable you are! If you forget about you're tampon, nothing will happen! It may leak because it is too full, but thats about all that can happen. Tampons take a while to get used to but just remember to stay relaxed! If you are goin on a long trip and do not have time to change your tampon, try wearing a very thin pad inderneath just in case of a leak.. there are also larger tampons that hold more so that there is a lesser chance of this happening. Start with the smaller tampons first to get used to how it feels. Remember it should never hurt! if it does maybe you put it in wrong or that brand may cause some kind of discomfort. The directions are pretty easy but just remember do whatever feels best for you! hope i helped!
