Swimming with period
This is really TMI, so sorry in advance! I'm supposed to start swimming in school on Tuesday, and I got my period on Saturday. Not swimming is out of the question, and I'd really, really like to avoid wearing a tampon. I've never worn one before and I have absolutely NO IDEA at all how to use it. It's a pretty light flow, but still enough to stain a bathing suit. Not enough to actually show in the water, though. Would it be completely awful to just wear a bathing suit with a skirt-type bottom, and have a pantyliner in it? I'll only be swimming for about a half hour. It sounds crazy, but would there really be any actual harm in it?
Any other ideas?
Thanks SO much in advance, I'm really concerned here ;).

Thats kinda unsanitary for the rest of the people in the pool. I would suggest wearing a tampon. You mine as well use one now, plus it will help you in the future because there so much easier than pads. But if you really dont want to try to get a note from your doctors or a parent to get you out of it until your period is gone.
good luck =]

ok there are two things you can do thatll save you that day lol
one...you can ask a trusted adult...preferabley a female adult about tampons and how to put it in..its the best solution when youre in the water btw because you wont stain...or get any blood in the water...even if its a little blood in the water that can harm other swimmers...
two...you can wear ur normal bathing suit and a skirt or minni short over it....like a bikini top and minni shorts ...that wont look bad,its kinda stylish and will cover up till your done swimming^_^

With all the chlorination in a pool it may not be all that healthy. But i do suggest you use a sports tampon. I'd defiantly do a little research maybe on Web MD. Or just check on google.
