For ladies who use just pads..what do u do when u go swimming and it's that time of the month?

Answer:
Unless there is some medical reason that you can't wear tampons, you should try them. You can not, should not, go swimming with a pad on. If you're going on a swim outing with a group of people, and you must wear a pad, just go and hang out poolside, but stay out of the water. Claim you have an ear infection or something as a reason to stay out of the water. Swimming with a pad is a no no no no. Tampons are the way to go go go go.

---

YOU DON'T SWIM. if you're hardcore like that then don't use any pad. just let it flow

---

Either you don't swim or you use tampons just in those circumstances.

---

You cant go swimming you need to wear a tampon...persoanlly i think they are much better

---

If you can't or choose not to use a tampon, you just don't go swimming! There's not really anything else you can do. Sorry I couldn't help.

---

i wouldnt go .tampax is the only way for swimming

---

you don't

---

I usually don't go. But, you can always ask your mom or a close friend about using a tampon if you want to.

---

Pads are for sissies who wear underwear. Why lock your ***** in a cage? Tampons are underwear free and RULE!

In my personal experiences it was never a problem to not wear something. Something about being emurged in water that causes you not to..umm."release" things. (trying to keep this delicate, sorry) I don't know if that's true to all or if it was just me but you could try a panty liner and hope the adhesive holds.

---

you just don't swim, its a nasty lady that would do that

---

u dont swim or u wear a tampon like most women.

---

I don't swim then.

---

Either, I don't go swimming, or if I'm on a day where my flow isn't too heavy, I go anyway without using a tampon. Did you know that if you do have your period and you swim, the water stops it, so it really isn't a big deal, although it makes me feel better when I'm in the middle of my period, and the flow isn't that bad. But one day, I went into the ocean with a heavy flow, and nothing happend except when I got out to change out of my swim suit, I saw a little blood on the inside of my swimsuit, but a little bit of cold water takes care of getting the stain out.

---

dont go swimming DUH

---

Either you use a tampon or don't swim!

---

Do not swim... it can give you all sorts of infections and viruses. Trust me I feel you pain!

---

What do you think you do? Either bleed into the water or don't swim or you can try using a tampon. That is the only solution.

---

Avoid swimming , it is highly unhygienic during that period

---

you don't swim

---

just shove a tamon up there for cryin out loud!
