I've had the SAME problem. ok... i know it seems scary! but you'll have to use a tampon sooner or later!!! I use the Playtex- Slimfi ts... they're easy to insert! But like someone else said.. the first year of your period is totally unpredictable and chances are you won't end up being on your period! And i know from experience that asking someone is embarrassing! So it's better to just read what comes on the box, or the papers inside the box! Well.. hope i helped.. and goodluck!!!! =)

No! pads wont work because they dont hold your period in. The pad will just go all soggy! If you really want to do swimming you will have to use a tampon. When you get the box of tampons read the instructions given. One main rule when incerting a tampon make sure your relaxed it helps to be relaxed!!! Have fun!

Pads don't work. You need a tampon and 2 change it regularly!

No, you can't swim with a pad- it will just absorb all the water, the adhesive would probably dissolve (thus the possibility of the pad falling out!) and be just generally uncomfortable and gross.
Now, as long as your flow isn't too heavy, you can probably swim without a tampon in. I used to do this in junior high when I was on swim team. According to my mom, the blood flow pretty much slows down when you're swimming. And I never had a problem with it. However, to be on the safe side, if you want to use a tampon that's probably not a bad idea.
Most tampon boxes have instructions on how to use a tampon in them. Or ask your mom, sister, or a friend. When you're buying them, try one with a plastic applicator (they're generally easier to use) or tampons specially made for teens or first-time users (Tampax Satin Teen were my first tampons- and I had no troubles)

First of all, the first year of your period is completely unpredictable, so you most likely will not get your period during the time of this pool party. After my first one i didn't have my second till 5 months later. second of all, if you do in fact get your period during this pool party, you really should use a tampon. it is really really easy to put in (try tampax pearl they are super easy). the easiest way to put it in is right after a shower because you are more slippery (lol) but seriously tampons are the way to go. hope i helped, feel free to ask me anything again!
