Answers:
Heyyy, about your swimming test (AND TRUST ME) once you go into the water and your on your period the blood will immediately stop! Even when your taking a shower during your period you might notice that no blood is coming down i dont know why but that how it is!. I know because this summer i went in the beach without a pad or anything and nothing happend, and after i got out of the water I just went straight to the bathroom and put a pad on! Trust me its true and ive tried it so dont worry! Hope I helped! xoxoxoWww@Answer-Health@Com
kay well you just asked how to do 2 very hard things without using the easiest answer!
you can't swim with a pad on, the blood won't go into the pad it will float on the water, and the pad will just absorb all the water making it useless!.
the only thing that will work really is a tampon!. there not that bad if you know what your doing!
and you can't really shorten your period without BC!. i mean the pills are the easiest and then theeres the shot and stuff but everything i know that would help is a form of birth control!. so either use that or dont!. lol
sorry there aren't many options but tampons aren't bad there so reliable and nice and if you try them you can say goodbye to all your pads!
good luck! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Please don't wear a pad or you'll be full of blood and humiliation!. The pad will swell up like a wet diaper!. Your best luck is to use a teen tampon!. If its your last day of period and you are very light, you might can get away with a panty liner, because the water gravity will keep the blood up in you!. But you don't want to be swimming and look around in the puddle of bloody water like jaws took a chuck out of you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
-theres no way, other than birth control, to shorten your period
-only tampons work in the water, so i recommend those
-i was at camp in july and we, also, had to take a swm test and so on the first day!. and we went to the beach and tubed and went on wave runners etc!. and 4 of my friends plus 1 of my leaders had their period! (i went with 5 girls + me) they were all fine!. they were open about it and they just took tampons in the leader's backpack and changed in the bathroom and went back to the cabin sometimes!. and for their cramps and stuff they just took an asprin (or soemthing of that sort)
-so don't fret about it too much!. just the one thing i would tell you is that you should really use a tampon
hope i helped and have fun at camp :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

definitely don't wear a pad it will swell up and leak in the water!. You may not want to use tampons but that is the best alternative!. Personally when I eat allot of greens and exercise before my period it is short and light!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
just try tampons, get tampax compack to take with you!. They dont hurt a bit and there easy to learn how to use!. trust me they are fine!!!! and you could always just wear them for an hour when you go swimming then go back to pads good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
a pad will either swell up or disintegrate!. either use a tampon or don't take the swim testWww@Answer-Health@Com
I definitely would not recommend using a pad to go swimming!. Instead of absorbing the menstrual flow, it would absorb the water and inevitably be catastrophic before the end of the day!. Other than using tampons, there is really nothing you can do except let nature take her course!. I suggest that you talk to a female camp counselor or camp supervisor about your situation and maybe postpone your swim test until it would be more comfortable or convenient for you!. If they are not at all lenient with you, go ahead and wear a pad with wings to ensure it does not come off in the water, but keep black or dark colored shorts over your bottoms!. Just make sure that you change immediately afterwards so as not to bleed through onto your shorts!.
The first summer after I had started my period I had a very similar situation!. My family had planned a family trip to a beach out of town, but I ended up running out of tampons and wore a pad to the beach!. Forgetting that I was wearing a pad (without wings), I ran into the surf and after swimming for a little while, the pad lost its adhesive and from wrestling with my cousins, wiggled its way half way out of my bottoms!. I was very much humiliated!. Thankfully, my mom noticed before anyone else did and took me to the store for supplies!. I don't want the same to happen to you!.
Unfortunately, other than birth control there really is not much you can do to lighten or shorten your periods!. Hopefully by the time you leave for camp you'll be at the tail end where the flow is lightest and it won't be a huge ordeal!.
Although you do not want to use tampons, it would be your best bet for this situation!. There are tampons designed specifically for young girls!. Good luck with your swim test and have a fantastic trip at camp! Hope I helped!Www@Answer-Health@Com
