Q: Hi, I recently started my period a few months ago and am 13 years of age. I also often go swimming with my family. I know I can't use pads well swimming because, well, obvious reasons and I don't know many other options that I can use and get cheap. I am scared to use them though because I'm afraid I'll leave them in to long and get an infection, or it will hurt when I put it on and take it out...Please help?
I always used to be worried about this, but I can tell you that it does not hurt, as long as you follow the instructions on the package (and don't worry, it's not difficult.) Just keep practicing, it doesn't matter if you don't get it right the first time. It may be a little bit uncomfortable at first, but after time you won't notice it's there.

I used to be worried that I would leave in it too long as well, but as long as you check how long it's meant to be in for and remember, it will be fine. In all honesty, I've left them in for double the amount of time you're supposed to before, and I've been absolutely fine - I'm not recommending this, because it's always better to be on the safe side, but I just want you to know that if you leave it in a little too long, it's very unlikely it will be harmful.

Thank you I'm definatley not worried anymore! :)
