Answer 1

just use a tampon you should be fine

Answer 2

You should wear a tampon. Theres not need to be intimidated by it. Theres directions in the box that will help you understand how to use it =)

Plus it actually a lot more comfortable then a pad.

Good luck

Answer 3

When you're in water, your flow is literially just suppose to stop. When you get out of the water, noe that's just a whole different story, lol. But yeah, I wouldn't be to worried.

Answer 4

Learn how to insert a tampon and take one just in case. Change into your swim suit at the host's house and if you are bleeding, you have the tampon and know how to use it.

Answer 5

I would tell you to listen to your mom but if I was in that situation I would wear the Tampon too... You dont want to be embarrassed about it... because kids that age will find anything to make fun about its sad but true! Good Luck!

Answer 6

Just wear a panty liner on your bathing suit. I recommend the brand, "Carefree" the origional size. It always works for me. Im too scared to use a tampon. Haha.

Answer 7

well dont worry about it until you get it and if you do get your period talk to your mom about using a tampon because that is that only way you will be able to enjoy yourself completely  

Answer 8

dont worry. once you go into the pool, it stops. i dont know why but it does.

Answer 9

Well, in that case, get some tampons in case of a leak and extra panties. The same problem happened to me too. No Worries!

Answer 10

Listen to your mom even if it means not going. If not then wear a tampon!

PLZ answer mine!

Answer 11

if it starts wear a tampon. i did on my 4 period. u should be fine.

Answer 12

If your mom will let you, wear a tampon even if you haven't started. It won't exactly be comfy to remove, but no accidents.

If mom won't let you, the only thing you can do is not go into the water. Or, check yourself about every two minutes.

Sorry kiddo, this is the reality of periods. Welcome to being a woman. Enjoy it for the next 40 years or so.

Answer 13

Tell your mom that you need tampons in order to be clean. I know how embarrassing it can to bleed through clothes in public! Even though you really shouldn't wear tampons when your not bleeding *due to TSS* I would get some light absorbency and put one in right before the party. It might take a few tries to get it right, but when you do insert it properly you cannot feel it! If your mom still says no tampons try putting a pantie liner on your swimsuit, you can't get in the pool with one on, but at least you could still go. If all else fails wear a black or other dark colored swim suit and just stay in the water. From my own personal experience you don't bleed as bad when your in the pool/bath. I hope this helps, and best of luck with the party! Hope this hleps.

Answer 14

So you dont have your period now but think it may come next week? I would have a talk with your mom about using tampons. Take one with you just incase but dont wear it unless you are actually having your period not if u are just worried it might come or else u could get an infection.  

Answer 15

talk to your mom and tell her you dont wanna miss out on the party just cuz your a girl. i had the same problem b/c i was on a swim team during my 2nd period and there was practice everyday, so obviously i wore a tampon. hopefully your mom understands! good luck ;]

Answer 16

I had this problem. The best thing to do is use a tampon and it being your first time it may feel slightly uncomfortable i suggest practising using one in a relaxed environment and don't worry. I understand it is a big day for you but try using a mini-tampon if inserted correctly you won't even know that it's there and you can go to your party with confidence.

Answer 17

wear a tampon

Answer 18

well if u do get it and its light you can still swim because when your in the water you dont bleed as much so if its light i would wear my bathing suit there and then where a liner in it and right before i go in the water take it out.

but i know how u feel about tampons because i just started using the last year and they were not my cup of tea. its scary because its new.

Good Luck

Answer 19

well you can just bring tampons just in case or you can calculate when your peroid will come at beinggirl.com click on periods and fill in the info and it will give you the dates you're supposed to have your period. if you are going to have your period on the date of the party then i would suggest bringing tampons.

Answer 20

buy a black bathing suit and wear a tampon make sure u hide the string so its not noticable

i used to wear pads when i had my period but i realized is this

tampons are more safer and cleaner and its not that bad

just use common sense and change it everytime u use the bathroom

like u would with a pad

i think some girl in the past left hers in for like 1 day or 2days and got toxic shock syndrome she didnt change it all and got real sick

Answer 21

First thing is since your periods are not regular, you need to ask your mom for some tampons, tell her that since your period isn't regular  yet I would like to wear a tampon to the party so I am not caught unprepared. (have it leak through my swimsuit) Now for tampon talk, it is perficatly ok to wear a tampon when you are not on yourt period. You should start out with slender, or light, because those are made for beginners, or girls with really small bodies. TTS is a really really rare condition, that only happens if you leave the tampon for a really long time (more that 8 hours) Their is nothing to be woried about. NEVER  keep the tampon in for more that 8 hours.  You CAN NOT wear a pad in the pool,it will come unstuck from your suit and absorb the pool water.  That would be really inbarrising. Tell that to your mom. ( about the pad in the pool) Tell her that you feel ready for tampons, and that you need to wear one for this occasion. Hope this helps.  

Answer 22

You can buy tampons without your mom knowing, if it comes to it. I would recommend buying a box, trying some on so you can get used to it. The OB are the best, because they're smaller and easier to hide if you're wearing a bikini.
