Period, swim meet, help!?

Question

im 14, and i got my period today (not for the first time) and i have a swim meet today. yes, i have wore a tampon before, but im just nervous. can you help ?

Answer 1

you dont usually bleed when youre swimming or in water. and put a tampon in just in case

Answer 2

Dont worry :)

I've done it before (i swim loads) just make sure it's in properly and take a spare for afterwards and it'll be fine.

Don't be concious of it, just have fun :)

Hope this helps x

Answer 3

What is making you nervous? They say water helps to stop that "flow" when you are in it. Just do NOT stand around on the edge or pool side long after you get out of there. If you LIGHTLY tug on the tampon and it doesn't budge much or any then it should be good to stay secure for this time then. To feel more at ease wrap a towel around your mid waist area to cover your butt if you need to stand along side after you swim, if able to then. That can help you to not pay attention to that area and not care if some 'leaking "happens.IF you get cramps or pain, use an ibuprofen before the meet to help that relax and not distract.

I would not let that consume you or your time would suffer in the water for it as you can't pay attention to  your swim meet.
