Is there anything else I can do, besides tampons? Tampons DO NOT work for me!
Question Posted Wednesday August 3 2005, 8:00 pm
Ok well, I`m on my period and I have to go on a boat Sat. Tampons are def. outta the question because I`ve tried them and they DO NOT work! Is there anything I can do?
iRReSiStAbLex09 answered Saturday August 6 2005, 5:02 pm: Well the only answer really is tampons. They DO work. You probably have just been putting them in the wrong way. I think you should try again with the tampons, and if they work yahoo :). Also talk to your mom about this or someone else that uses tampons, because tampons do work. You just have to decide on which type you should get : the juniors, regular, super, or super plus. Hope I helped. Tell me how it all works out :) bye.
SoNotLegal answered Saturday August 6 2005, 1:38 pm: Does the boat have a bathroom? If not, you're probably screwed. I'd suggest using a great pad. If I was in your situation, I'd use a tampon (to at least put your flow on hold for a while) as well as a pad (to control everything else). But if you're not into tampons, I guess you're screwed, dearie. Get a really great pad.

portuprincess7 answered Saturday August 6 2005, 12:34 am: i dont like tampons either....sometimes what i do is wear a pad without wings on my bathingsuit if its not a heavy flow...that would be if you didnt want to wear shorts but you have to check on it and make sure you bring extra pads so you can change it so it wont leak....but i would suggest not swimming and if you do then ya you should wear shorts...hope that helped

modelkate11 answered Friday August 5 2005, 11:49 pm: if you don't go in the water you should be ok with a pad but just so it's not obvious with a bathingsuit just wear some shorts.
x0o-bluuee-x3 answered Friday August 5 2005, 1:16 pm: Well.. since there's nothing else to wear. then just wear a pad. a really big pad so you don't have to change it so much.
And if you really don't want to wear a pad. Just try to deal with a tampon.
GymCutiex27 answered Friday August 5 2005, 12:49 am: I have this problem all the time I don't like them either ;). What I would do is wear a pad on your bathing suit and wear shorts you can swim in over it. And if you go in the water change the pad as soon as you get out!!
krh028 answered Thursday August 4 2005, 11:49 am: you dont have to do anything if your in the water. cold water stops the flow. my advice is to do in the water first and the sun tan so nothing will happen. [ krh028's advice column | Ask krh028 A Question ]
mrs_radcliffe answered Thursday August 4 2005, 11:10 am: You will have to stock up on pads. Just keep some with you. If you wanted to go swimming thats a no no!! Because the pad wont last it will become weak and what not.

M_to_the_E_to_the_L answered Thursday August 4 2005, 8:58 am: if you are leaking through a tampon you probably need aheavier absorbancy is all. Get one of those playtex variety packs or whatever... and use the heavy ones on the days you are heavy, and i don't knwo hwo your cycle runs... but if your anythign liek me you will have a lighter flow by saturday and a regular tampon shoudl work for you or even a light... but if you still have a heavy flow just go for the heavy tampon...

xRoOxiSxBlOnDex answered Wednesday August 3 2005, 9:02 pm: If tampons don't work for you [which they should] then you're basically out of luck unless you are in the water 24/7. Once you get OUT of the water, put shorts on immediately.

brokensmile78 answered Wednesday August 3 2005, 8:56 pm: hey
okay this happens to me all the time and i also cant wear tampons. okay so just go and dont wear anything. the water stops the flow of you period. so just wear shorts over your bottoms and make sure every time u get out of the water to check for leaks. then when your done swimming put a pad on.
hope i helped

3HOLLYWOODxGLAM3 answered Wednesday August 3 2005, 8:38 pm: well theres nothing else you can wear in water besides tampons. you just have 2 try it again. you may THINK it doesnt work.. but when you start getting used 2 tampons, you'll realise that there amazing. you'll never want go back to pads again. so look at it this way.. either wear a pad and have a horrible time, by not being able to go in the water and feel like your wearing a diaper.. or wear a tampon and have a great time.. i say try the tampon! = P [ 3HOLLYWOODxGLAM3's advice column | Ask 3HOLLYWOODxGLAM3 A Question ]

LoveNJstyle answered Wednesday August 3 2005, 8:24 pm: well its wednesday... that gives you some time and hopefully end by then. if it doesnt then you have options: wear shorts and a bikini top and just dont get in. if your light by then, go all natural and jump in without protection. it will somehow stop while your in the water so dont worry about that. hope that helps! <3

acsd answered Wednesday August 3 2005, 8:22 pm: well my best answer is hope that it ends by saturday. there isnt anything else that you can go in the water in other then tampons. keep trying to get one in until then, and if you really cant and your period doesnt end, pretend to forget your bathing suit!
