going on swimming vacation i need advice
I'm 12 years old and in one month I'm going on vacation will a guy that has been my best friend since I was 5. we will be swimming a lot in the ocean and in regular pools, and I would use a tampon but I'm scared, because about 2 months ago I went to Hawaii and I used a tampon without any problems, but the next time i went snorkeling about 5 mins after I got out of the water (I was on a boat) there was blood runnning down my leg and everyone saw, so I don't know if tampons are reliable and if the bathroom is close enouph for me to run to at the beach if I have another tampon problem.

Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
Here's a few tips from girl to girl.
When selecting your tampons, choose one labeled Super or Super Absorbent these ones absorb a lot more, Also, pick a nice juice drink and pour about a cap or two full of apple cider vinegar in it, it slows the flow a bit, bring it with you in a water bottle.
Hope this helps.

I may be a male but I am old enough to be your grandfather and have had children of my ow. I am now waiting for grandchilodren to arrive.
I understand your concern and I will not make light of it for I know it would be embarrassing for you if it were to happen again. What I am going to tell you is this. Properly inserted and using the proper aborbtion tampon, changed as directed you should not have this problem.
As to proper insertion. This is not something I, being male, can help you with. Your mom is someone who can and I'm sure if you went to her would be more than willing to help you.
Your period is a normal bodily function of women your age up through age 50 to 60. Men such as me, your dad, future boyfriends and even your older brother(s) know all about the trials and tribulations women suffer with their periods. Mom I'm sure suffered thorugh all the fears you will face as you grow older. Trust me when I say the only thing sexual about a womens period is they control conception otherwise there is nothing sexual about them.
You should be go to mom and say to her; "mom I have a problem I need to speak to you about in private." Mom will, I'm all most positive, know your problem has something to do with womens stuff as we boys/men refer to this.
The reason your Tampon leaked the last time was either it was not put in properly or it was not strong enough to absorb your flow, Talk to mom and I'm sure she can help you.
