Actually, it depends on the tampon type. Being a swimmer, it is difficult with tampons because certain strokes will result in causing the tampon to be pushed out. Take for example, breaststroke. I suggest wearing a tampon that is larger than your normal one if you are a swimmer, if it is just for fun, then a normal one will do. Otherwise, just stay out of the water for that time period.
If you're a swimmer you may want to consider menstrual cups instead - cups are safer than tampons so can be worn even when flow is light and for up to 12 hours so more convenient, but also menstrual cups hold more flow and have a seal which means that they don't leak like tampons can.
If you're sticking with tampons make sure that you use the correct absorbency for your flow, and make sure to time it so that you can insert a tampon just before swimming. Tampons can absorb pool water so you need to check on the tampon every hour or so to make sure it's not soaked.
No, monkeys don't wear tampons. Only humans wear tampons.
No, they wear their own tampons.
well you look up from where the leak is coming from or the wear the water is dripping from and their you go you fond out wear the leak is.
If you could have a trusted friend or your mom with you to show you, that might help. Remember, too, that you don't have to wear tampons if you are scared to. Millions of women wear pads. They are just as effective and don't require insertion.
Any brand of tampon can be used in the water, you can also use menstrual cups, menstrual sponges, softcups, or diaphragms in the water too. Cups are a far safer option than tampons and menstrual cups are best for swimming as you can wear them even with light flow and they don't leak like tampons. If you are going to use tampons just make sure to use correct absorbency and time it so that you can insert a fresh tampon before swimming.
NEVER wear tampons when not menstruating - it's not safe and no need.
If you are scared and have tried it before, try remembering how it felt. It isn't all that bad. I was once scared myself my first time and everything went fine. Just know which hole your placing it in and to change it ever so often then you'll be fine.
Tampons can be worn anytime you have sufficient flow - except overnight while sleeping, or if you have a vaginal infection. You cannot wear pads for swimming as the blood won't flow down to the pad, the pad would be saturated with water so unable to absorb blood, plus the pad would come off.To swim on your period you can use tampons, soft tampons, menstrual sponges, menstrual cups, diaphragms, or softcups - menstrual cups are by far the best option, in general and for swimming.
Assuming you mean leak as in NOT swimming. If the flow (heaviness) is really heavy, you could either wear overnight pads, tampons and pads or 2 pads. You could also wear two pairs of underwear, so if you do start to leak, you'll feel it and have time to save yourself. It really is up to the woman to decided how she will deal with her period.
No but tampons do.
A water pump has a "weep" hole. When the seals start to wear out the water pump will still start to leak from this hole. When this happens it is time to change the water pump.
