Tampons and pads and swimming!!1 uggg?!
Question: Tampons and pads and swimming!!1 uggg!?
I am 15 years old!. I really want to start using tampons but im in a dilemma!. First when i was about 13 my mother asked me if i wanted to start to use tampons and i didnt want to, i just wanted to stick to pads!. now that im 15, i really want to start using them!. im really shy about period stuff so i dont know how to ask!. today i told my mom that i wanted to take summer gym next year and i tried bringing up that the class goes swimming and whatnot, hoping that shed say that i would have to wear a tampon(she thinks i would never wear a tampon)!. instead, she said that if we ever go swimming while im on my period, id have to sit out and say i have an ear infection!. im like thats lying and thats stupid, and shes like well you cant wear maxi pads in the pool sam!. so i dont know what to do!

i had the same prob!. i was in the store and i was picking some pad out w/ my mom and asked if (for gym) i could get some tampons cause it'd be easier to run laps in (yup, two miles a day!) and she said it was okay then later i said that i like them a lot and asked to get them again, and its a constant thing, she just knows and i ask her to pick me up some, she knows what brand i like, etc!.
if she says not, (dont say it in a snotty mood or whiney) remind her she asked u when u were 13 and now that u have more experience u'd like to try them
i'm sure she'll say yes, but my mom is the same way, she thinks that u have to ask for it to be ready,, like she wont suggest it and i had to ask and its been hard, but trust me, totally worth it! (be sure to use pads sometimes though, its good for a change!)Www@Answer-Health@Com

just tell her that you'd like to try! you 2 seem to have conversations about periods quite easily and comfortably, so just bring up the idea that you'd like to try!.
from the sounds of things, she'll be quite glad and proud that you re willing to give them a go!
try not to think about it or plan it too much, just come out with it!.
good luck!

try to bring it up again, and mention how you REALLY dont wanna miss any days when youre on your period, if that doesnt work, try just asking her, OR take some of her tampons, BUT be sure to read the instructions in the box :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
bring up the swimming again, and be like
"is there any other way i could go swimming!?!" hint hint
or see if your mom has any lying around, and ask to borrow one, that's what i did lolWww@Answer-Health@Com

get tampons!. just ask for them!. or walk to the store and get them yourself!. do not wear pads while swimming, thats VERY unhygienic!
