How about practicing using a tampon before you go!?!? They really are simple to use!.I personally like OB tampons because you can actually feell where it is placed since the applicator is actually your finger that fits inside a little hole of the tampon!. You just push it up into the vagina!. Tampons come with instructions!. Or try the ones with the applicators!.!.!.It won't hurt you to try and place one in before you go!. Just don't leave it in!. You'll feel so much more at ease about this!. I remember the time I tried one for the first time and felt so much more comfortable and free to do activities!. Sometimes those pads just don't work! Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'd go with the people who suggest trying to use a tampon!. If it turns out you just can't, then you will either have to sit out, or you could wear dark shorts (or maybe cutoffs, b/c they are thick) with a bikini top, and a cloth, reuseable maxi-pad like Gladrags!. Since you're leaving Sunday you don't have time to order one off the internet, but you could see if your town or city has a coop or health food store!. They often sell them there!. A cloth pad will need to be washed, but won't swell up quite so big as a disposable in the water, nor break apart either!.
Good luck!. Lots of girls in your situation at swim camps, I'm sure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Practice with tampons before you go!. During a period of course! That way you will be more comfortable with using them and you will see if its something you'd want to do at camp!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
