I've heard of at least five girls that claim they will not go swimming unless they are wearing a tampon. I'm just wondering why, because I swim while wearing a pad all the time. Is there something I'm unaware of?

If you are used to wearing winged pads these can also.show outsode your swim suit. Its to avoid embarrassment incase anything leaks. It also uncpmfortable for most girls. But if it works for you thats okay! :) much <3 Jess 18/f [ JustJessOx's advice column | Ask JustJessOx A Question ]

If you've never experienced any problems with pads while swimming then that's fine! Do what's comfortable for you, but just keep this in mind to avoid any potentially embarrassing moments :)
