I use to have this problem too.. Tampons arent all that bad. they only bother you if you put them in wrong. and i wouldnt wear a pad under shorts in the water basically because they are meant to absorb liquids kinda like diapers. so it would get bigger and be VERY uncomfortable. personally i would try out the whole tampon deal and if that doesnt work then just sit on the side and dangle your feet in the water so the kids feel like your at least Involved.. I hope i helped! :D

Couldn't you speak to the mother of the couple that you babysit for and tell her. I mean, she probably doesn't go in the pool either, when she has her period. (She may not like tampons) She can just tell the kids to stop bothering you about going IN the water. She'll understand, and they'll whine a little, but they'll get over it.

I wouldn't suggest that. Pads were not made to go into the water and after only seconds of being in the water you would find yourself in a rather uncomfortable position. The pad would soak up a large amount of water and you would not be able to take the pad off without walking through the house, dripping water from the pad everywhere. I understand that you are uncomfortable with tampons, but they are designed to be worn in the water. Have a close female friend or your mother help you out the first couple of times. When they are in properly, you don't even notice them.
