Nearly end of period- Swimming- Help!!?

Question

So,I am fine going swimming and using Tampons on My period, However I am really near the end of my period and so not much blood comes out, but when it does it is really dark. I have been on for 5 days now. So I am going swimming tomorrow and I would use a tampon, But if no blood comes out when swimming and i try to take the Tampon out after it will hurt, However if I don't wear a tampon and leak it will be majorly embarrassing because there will be a brown stain in my swimwear. Someone Help!!

Answer 1

Check out your local Wal*mart or whatever and see if there are any tampons that are meant for light days when you really need one. Below is some Tampax Compak Lites meant for a small flow.

Answer 2

Those are really your only two options. The pain from removing the tampon shouldn't be too much. just take a deep breath and pull it out like a band aid.

Answer 3

I would wear one anyway. That way you won't have any embarrassment. But most likely your period won't be on tomorrow. It may be gone by then.

Answer 4

If You Use A Tampon It Won't Hurt... It'll Absord The Water And You'll Be Fine

Answer 5

I don't think it would hurt if u kept it in long enough.

Answer 6

when your in the water you wont leak. when your outside of the water is when your vunerable to leaks

Answer 7

just wear one anyways. The water will eventually make it swell so it won't hurt so bad.  

Answer 8

i just saw a commercial for the slender tampons for the light days. i'd give those a try :]

Answer 9

I wouldn't use one for regular days. I would use something like tampax tampons lites, they are for light days i use them on my last days when i want to go swimming. =)

Answer 10

if you still have a little it of period left use a slender tampon and don't worry about it hurting because if you swim long enough it will absorb the water and come out easily. have fun tomorrow!

Answer 11

I think you will be fine.  Don't wear a tampon, it will hurt.  Soak in a tub for a while .  This will cease the flow temporarily or long enough to get in the pool.  Once in the water you have nothing to worry about.  If you're taking a trip to the pool after soaking in the tub try a thin pad or pantyliner and remove it right before you get in the pool.  Good Luck!
