Hi there,

I remembered i freaked when i got my first period!! it was on my birthday! ok here goes,

sure go for it!! Use tampons if that's what is more comfortable for you!.
yes you can wear a tampon in the shower but you cant wear pads because they stick onto your underwear!.
it depends on the flow but usually every 3-4 hours!. here is a good website where you can learn about your period and stuff!.

its really good!!

good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah it is every girl to herself!. I prefer to wear pads, but you may prefer to wear tampons!. The only time that you would need to wear a pad or panty liner is when you get the heavier periods as you get older as there will be sometimes when you get spotting even with a tampon in!.

Yes you can go in the shower, swim, and do all of the sports that you normally do when you have your periods!.

Every 4-5 hours, or shorter if there is a heavy period!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I prefer pads, and no they don't feel like diapers,
and tampons aren't that healthy no matter what people say,
not only the tss stuff but it breaks stuff and whatever,

probably you can, since you can wear it in the shower,
but the chlorine gets into the tampon (when your in the pool) and that isn't good!.

usually every 3-4 hours!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's okay that you use tampons!. Most girls prefer them to pads!.
Sometimes I wear a tampon in the shower, it depends on how long I have to go until I have to change it!. I do prefer to wear my tampon in the shower though, so I don't have to worry about blood getting on my towel!. On my heaviest days, I replace my regular absorbency tampon every 3-4 hours, or it will leak!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's perfectly fine to only wear tampons!. (except at night)
Yes, wearing one in the shower is a good idea!.
You should change it about every four hours!.
Note: never sleep with your tampon in because it is dangerous to leave it in that long!. There is something called toxic shock syndrome!.!.!. don't worry it is very rare, but you shouldn't risk it!. So at night it would probably be best to wear a pad!.!.!. it is more comfortable anyway!.

1!. yes it's actually better then using pads
2!. I don't use tampons, so i dont know
3!. It depends on how much you're menstruating, if it's a little, once every 5 or 6 hours!. If it's a lot, however, I'd replace at least 3 or 4, maybe 2 hoursWww@Answer-Health@Com

yes it okay to use only tampons, and yes you can wear them in the shower,in the bath, and when you go swimming!.
you should Always change your tampon every 4 hours, but really it depends on how heavy your period is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
