Okay help.....?
I have a big swim meet tomorrow and i just got my period. Would it be bad, if i have little flow to wear a pad before my races take it off during then put one back on? I CANT use a tampon. Ive tried and all it does is make me have an emotional breakdown and cry. I am only 13. Help plz!!! ♥
Answers:
If you really feel you can't get out of it, and don't have a lot of flow, then you probably can get away with it. Have a trusted friend ready with a DARK colored towel when you get out, just to avoid any possible embarassment upon exit from the pool.
Keep trying with tampons. They are a swimmer's savior. Do you have a very close friend who could possibly help you with it (yeah, I know--really embarassing, but it is a thought). Or ask your doctor the next time you go.
Female swimmers get periods and you are not the first. Coaches know this. Ask your coach. If he/she tells you not to swim, life will go on.
If it were me, I'd sit this one out. Best of luck to you!
