I'm going to Mexico in three days for a week, and my cycle is going to start soon!. My mom is worried about me swimming with my period!. I told her it's fine, I'll just wear a tampon, but she told me it's unhealthy!. Is that true!?
Also, I have never worn a tampon before, so do you have any tips for me!?

Answers:
Its perfectly fine to wear a tampon!. However, if its your first time it might be a bit hard to make work, but don't get upset, just try again and you'll get it!.
Make sure to only leave it in a few hours before you change it and wear a pad when you aren't swimming!. You'll be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you have never used tampons, you may or may not be swimming!. Sometimes it takes a while to get the hang of them and even get it in!. If your period won't start until after you leave on your trip, take a box of multiple absorbency (unless your period is rather light) of something like the Tampax Pearl, and try them out with the lightest ones!. But if you can't get it, don't feel too bad, most women have trouble before they get used to them!.
Tampons/swimming with a tampon is not unhealthy anymore than if you weren't using it!. Tampons always have the rick of TSS, but most people never get it, just pay attention to the warnings that come with them!. Although, maybe your mom just doesn't want you using it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No problem at all swimming with your period!. Just do as you said, wear a tampon!. To help with insertion of one for the first time, buy the slender variety, sometimes called "lite"!. Sit on the toilet, put a tiny amount of petroleum jelly on the tip, after unwrapping!. Insert it into your vagina, tipping it towards the small of your back!. Gently glide it in and it will only go so far!. You will not "lose" it inside you, as it can't go any further than your vagina!. Just be sure to read the directions about changing it to avoid toxic shock syndrome!. When you are out of the pool you may want to wear a liner or small pad with it, because, until you get used to your flow and it's effects on the tampon that you've chosen, you could have some amount of leakage!. Good luck! It may feel a little uncomfortable at first, but it's much more convenient and you will eventually not feel a tampon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Absolutley not!. You think pro swimmers just take off when they're on their periods!? It's perfectly healthy and sometimes the water keeps blood from coming out!. Unfortunatly, though, right after you get out of the water you'll bleed a lot so if you wear a tampon, I recommend putting a pad on RIGHT after you're done swimming!. You should never, I repeat never, keep the same tampon on while swimming after swimming!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Actually, swimming helps with cramps and even regulates your flow!. It is very healthy for you!.
Where did your mother get her info!?
Not trying to sound mean, but maybe she is just paranoid!?
I thought it was unhealthy for a girl to swim in a lake or pond once she had gone through menstruation!.!.!.!.!.
No, your fine, just use a reliable tampon
They pinch if you dint put them in right!., do it at and angle, the vaginal canal is not strait up, but slanted!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am 24 years old and have used them since I started and have always used one when I wanted to swim!. I was not giving swimming up for that!. LOL But I do suggest you get familiar with them!. Once you use them you will not even want to go back to a pad, simply because they will than feel like a diaper!. It is awesome to have them!. Less mess, less hassle and much easier!. Hope you get to use them and have a great trip!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I don't see why it would be a big problem if you are swimming in the ocean then you might want to change your tampon as soon as you get out!. I mean ocean water is far from clean!. The same goes with a pool but in a pool at lest it will have some chlorine in it to kill off some of the bacteria!. Just make sure to wash and change after you are finished swimming!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
of course it isnt unhealthy! have you ever heard of people getting sick from swimming with a tampon!. Even if you dont have your period you can practice putting in a tampon!. And find a brand that you like!. I personally like kotex bc it is easy to insert!. But just make sure you change regurally so you dont bleed through!. good luck and Have fun in Mexico!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i dont think its not healthy its just kinda gross cuz the blood in the water dont swim with a tampon in the pool it could get like stuck or something just go in the pool with no tampon and let the blood go in the water i mean its not alot of blood lolWww@Answer-Health@Com
Truthfully, a 14 yr!. old should not use a tampon, but if you don't use it constantly your okay!. Put it in before going swimming and take it out immediately If you're that concerned a pad and wear underwear swimming and shorts!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You'll be fine with a tampon!. Just probably want to change it shortly after getting out of the pool!.
