Answer 1

Either wear a tampon or go buy yourself a divacup(from a natural food store) you can tell your mom diva cup will be good for you because it will help the environment and stuff and tell her how bad the pads and tampons have chemicals and stuff.....Im thinking about getting a diva cup plus you can tell her it will save money because you'll never have to buy another diva cup! if you cant do that then dont go! Or just sit by the pool side and chill with the ppl who cant swim!

Answer 2

Well either use a tampon or don't go.  You really don't have a lot of other options.

Answer 3

just use it they could spread a roomer about you trust me been there done that.

Answer 4

Just get a tampon from one of them at the party and mom won't have to know.  

Answer 5

well you could still go and not go into the pool and plus water stops the period so yeah then after you get out of teh water just run to the girls bathroom and out on a pad

Answer 6

well your basically cutting out the only option you have. sorry but i guess youre not gonna go by what it sounds like...

Answer 7

Tampons or don't go..  

Answer 8

hi i dont want to go against your mums advice, but if you are old enough to have a period, you are old enough to wear a tampon, brands like Lillets do a mini one specially for teen girls. if not go to the party wear a bikini/swimmimg costume with a sarong, incase you are embarrased about your towel showing, at least then you can still go to the party and join in, just not swim, you probably wont be the only girl on her period.

Answer 9

I was on my second period when I wore a tampon. The rule is if you have your period, you can wear a tampon. Whether you want to wear one is a different story, but you cannot swim without a tampon! The water WILL NOT stop or slow down your flow. It just washes away the blood so you can't see it. So either wear a tampon, or don't swim. Good luck.

Answer 10

either wear tampons or you can't swim... there is absolutely nothing you can do.

Answer 11

Why not wear a tampon?  They are so much more comfortable than pads, and far less messy.  You don't even feel a tampon when it is inserted properly, and you don't have to worry about walking around feeling like you're wearing a diaper (not to mention the risk of the pad shifting and causing a leak on your pants).

There is no reason why a young healthy girl shouldn't be able to enjoy all the fun things of summer, especially swimming, just because she is having her period.  Just make sure as you use the lowest absorbency that you need and change it regularly.

Answer 12

I only see two solutions to this problem.. 1) Its either you wear a tampon or.. 2) you can kiss that swimming party good-bye..

Answer 13

TAMPON! im on my first, and i already use it

ps repost this in womens health and u will get more answers! :)

Answer 14

DIVACUP

google it.

Answer 15

Believe it or not you can go swimming with your period as long as it's not heavy. You'll be fine. I've done it plenty of times and nothing has happened yet. Also another idea is maybe wearing shorts over your swimsuit.  

Answer 16

Wear a tampon, my period stops when i get in water, well doesn't stop for good but stops flowing when im in water.
