Question: Period!.!.!.swimming!.!.!.!.uhhhh!!!!?!.!.!.
ok SO i wasnt due for my period for 2 weeks, so i made plans today to go to the pool!. and OF COURSE it started right after i got off the phone with my friends!. UH!. so now im confused on what to do!. im still going with them, but idk if i should get in the water or not!. ive tried tampons, and i HATED them [maybe i just wasnt ready idkk] and i tried them when swimming and the string came off, so it was VERY hard to get the tampon out of me, not to mention i was very scared!. so i REFUSE to try them again till i build the confidence up!. plus, my moms not home right now to help me even if i wanted to try them!. im 14 btw!.uhh
anyways!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.its pretty light but idk if i should swim or not!. i mean, would it stop!? i wouldnt swim the whole time, maybe just idk one hour!. or should i just sit out and watch my friends have fun!? that would totally suck esp since its freakin hot outside!.

Really a tampon is the best way to swim!. I can understand you've had a few bad experiences, but I would encourage you to try them again as they are more comfortable and cleaner and you're just at the beginning of years of periods and you'll likely be happier with them!. If, however, that isn't an option for today then I personally would sit on the edge and put my feet in, or maybe just a quick dip to get wet but in and out!. Otherwise you could have some embarrassing issues!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Idk where people get the idea that their period stops while swimming come from but it is just washed away in the water!. That's why we put chlorine in the pool water!. Emily, try the slimmer tampons!. Don't let your period stop you from doing what you want to do!. Go have fun with your friends and swim!. Use the tampon and change it after a few hours!. Try pushing it in a little more this time!. It should be comfortable to ware!.

Well I definately would not go swimming if I had my period and wasn't wearing a tampon! You will have a red trail behind you! If if its light I still wouldn't risk it!. Just tell your friends you cant go swimming coz you've got your period!? Maybe sit on the side with your feet in the pool for a cooling effect instead, I'm sure they'l understand!Www@Answer-Health@Com
If your on your period, i'm sorry but you can't go to the pool unless your wearing a tampon,
and don't risk going in without a tampon because it will go into the water!
It sucks doesn't it (I don't use tampons yet either)Www@Answer-Health@Com

The only advice I would have is to use a tampon, but since you are so against them, I don't know what to tell you!. And OBVIOUSLY you can't use a pad!.!.!.!.!.hmmmm!.!.!.!.maybe you should get in the bathtub and see if you bleed!? Idk its just an idea!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Think about it!. Would you like to go swimming in someone else's blood!? That's gross!. Just tell your friends they'll understand!. You can put your legs in and plan another trip!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I would call your friends and tell them you cant cuz you just got your period, they'll probably understand cuz they are going through the same thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I do not use anything in the water because I do not bleed when I swim!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
