Can you use a regular tampon in heavy flow for an hour of swimming URGENT?

As long as your flow is sufficient for the absorbency, yes.
General rule of thumb - use lowest absorbency; if the tampon leaks within 1-2 hours use the next absorbency up, if the tampon is not saturated with blood after 4-6 hours use lower absorbency or switch to pads. Even if the tampon is a lower absorbency than needed chances are you will not bleed through within just one hour.

Don't worry just use a big tampon or panty liner
When swimming does your period stop?
In some cases it does. I would still highly recommend a tampon because there is the high risk that you can still leak. The pressure from the water is what "stops" it. If you were to cough, laugh, or sneeze, the pressure of the blood exiting the body could change and result in a leak. Good Luck!

Your period is heavy and will not stop can you go swimming?
no you can not go swimming when your period is heavy. When it is at they very end and its not that heavy your period will not stop in the water, but will be held back. Also, if you go swimming and you have your period when you get out of the pool it might start to drip down your leg.
What could be wrong if you spotted for 3 days and then it stopped but suddenly you had a period that was so heavy that a tampon didn't last more than an hour?
Hi Heavy bleeding like this needs to be investigated by your doctor. Bleeding that is so heavy that it requires you to change your pad or tampon every 1-2 hours, is too heavy and definitely needs to be told to your doctor.
Can a saturated tampon fall out on its own?
I had a tampon in and forgot to remove it when I went to bed. I have a heavy flow during the beginning of menstruation and when I went to the bathroom I thought I felt it fall out on its own, but when I looked in the toilet it was too red to see the tampon. I have checked twice and I cannot feel it inside me, is it safe to use another tampon?
How long is a tampon?
A conventional tampon such as a rayon tampon like Tampax or a cotton tampon like Natracare is around an inch and a half long. A soft tampon like Beppy is only about an inch wide and a quarter of an inch deep. A sponge tampon size will vary depending on how heavy your flow, but often is around the size of a golf ball. A cloth tampon size will vary depending on how long it is made.
