Swimming tommrow, but...?

Question

Ok, so I just got invited to a swimming party today, and it's for tommorow. I really want to go, because my best friend will be there..but 1 issue..I have my period. Ok, so it was late..so that means it just ended like yesterda, but I'm afraid that some blood might leak while swimming, youre probably thinking "Just wear a tampon" but, I don't really feel comfortable doing that, and I really don't want to ask my mom. I'm 12, and think I'm "too young" for tampons right now. I was thinking...maybe if i get normal swim bottoms, wear a pad, and then put on some swim trunks (girls type lol) over top, would that work? Thanks for your help, and sorry this was really long =.=

Answer 1

don't wear a pad, the sticky part on the back of it will unstick and it will come off. but the swim trunks might work. good luck!

Answer 2

Don't wear a pad while swimming. The pad will bloat up and cause problems. Go ahead and ask your mom about wearing a tampon. Don't worry about being too young for tampons, if you are old enough to have a period then you should be old enough to wear a tampon. Don't be afraid to ask. I was afraid to ask my mom to wear tampons, thinking that she would say the same thing, not realizing that she was totally fine with it.

Answer 3

You should talk to your mom about wearing a tampon. The pad would bloat and if you're already having your period, then you should wear a tampon swimming. You'll be fine. Maybe your mom thinks that it will hurt, or make you not a virgin. You should ask, and your mom will probably let you wear one.

Answer 4

That won't work, you could probably just go without anything, especially since some people's tend to stop in water anyway. You could also try a junior or teen tampon they're suuuper small and really easy for beginners.

Answer 5

Answer 6
