ciao77 answered Wednesday March 7 2007, 2:03 am: It sucks getting your period when you aren't expecting it, or aren't prepared. But anyway, I wouldn't recommend swimming the first day of your period, mainly because you might feel bloated enough as it is. If you want though, you can try taking Midol next time (it also reduces bloating and water retention). But anyway.... itt's not a big deal, but use a tampon next time, of course. You can still take part in different activities, but using a tampon greatly reduces discomfort. As for the stain, you can pre-treat it in the sink..be sure to use hot water, and some soap or detergent (woolite is great). Afterward, put it in the washing machine with all your other clothes- and that should take care of it. And don't worry about telling your mom..I'm sure she'll understand what you're going through.
