swimming&period
so in a couple weeks my class is going swimming, and I have roughly estimated that I might get my time of the month then, it'll be summer so I cant just not go swimming, can I just use a tampon and go swimming?
any suggestions of what I should do?
I also cant take pills to make it go away.
Thanks:)

taking pills can be harmful and unpredictable. tampons usually the high absorbancy depending also on your flow can be one of the BEST ways to still go swimming. usually if you have a tampon in it absorbs all the blood and if you do leak then it'll be in small unnoticable secretions. but you may want to change it every other hour or more if your really paranoid about it. experiment in a bath tub.

you can use a tampon just dont leave it in for a long time like change it every four hours.!

just wear a tampon and take some with you to change. sometimes water will stop a period for maybe an hour or two, but wear a tampon just incase.

Something you could try is eating a little more, or exercising to speed it up. It actually works, sometimes!
If you can't help the timing, though, yeah, a tampon would be fine. Just make sure you change it if it starts to feel kind of gross, hah.
Also, try wearing something more along the lines of board shorts, rather than a bikini bottom. You could even wear gym shorts over anything, sicne they'd probably be black, and nothing would show if you happen to have an emergency.
Good luck, and it should all be fine! (:
