so for pool parties and swimsuit season... i cant use a tampon. ive tried and it just wont...go in!
14/f
so i have a pool in my backyard and go to the beach constantly and you know im gonna wanna have a pool party for my birthday. and with planning ahead and sending out invitations im scared the party dates gonna fall on when i start my period. and its not like i can chart it or anything because i take medicine which makes it realllly irregular and unpredictable and i cant use a tampon. ive tried and it just wont...go in! and my mom thinks theyre really unhealthy.
and especially when i have my guyfriends over, what do i tell them?? ahh im freaking out here. HELP?!?!

Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
i know this question was asked like forever ago but i though i might add a little insight :)
to add to other peoples response. you usually don't bleed as much when underwater and wearing a tampon is completely safe and really a good idea when going swimming just in case. make sure you are using them properly and use the instructions. maybe try smaller ones? also no guys would have to know as long as the string isn't hanging out. just tuck it inside your swimsuit if this bothers you tuck it under the liner that is in most swimsuitss

Well if it REALLY bothers you. I suggest not inviting guys [But that should be your last option]
Wear a pad and practice using tampons. It's a part of life and guys should get used to seeing this happend. If they can't they are just big babies and they need to grow up!

Well tampons AREN'T unhealthy if used properly.
Basically, you should practice using tampons, use the instruction leaflet included with tampons.
Otherwise, if you're gonna be on your period, and not using a tampon, I don't suggest you go swimming..
Instead wear shorts or a skirt over your bikini bottoms so no one notices, and have fun outside the pool.
If a guy notices, he shouldn't laugh at you, or need an explanation. I mean you're 14, and by this age, most guys know the facts.
My friend was worried about having her period when we went to a water park. A guy noticed the tampon string he just told me to tell my friend (he didn't want to embarrass her, but he was cool about it) and we we're all 13/14
I'm sure it'll be ok, but talk to your mom about using tampons. She probably will understand!
