Just started my cycle today. It usually lasts six or seven days, and is pretty heavy all throughout. I have swimming on monday, and I'm not good with tampons. Is there any way I could speed things up so that it's done, or not as heavy on monday? =/

On Sunday the day before swimming starts practice. Practice using a tampon. Sounds weird but getting used to that feeling of putting it in and taking it out will help. Also when it is in do something to distract you. Something with noice or a movie that makes you laugh. You don't want it to be quiet b/c your mind will keep going back to the tampon. Relax as well. Don't tense up. I hope this helps and Good Luck!!! [ sjack2's advice column | Ask sjack2 A Question ]
