What tampons are the most flexible?
Either sponge tampons, soft tampons, or cloth tampons.Sponge tampons are made from natural sponge, although the sponge in its natural state is quite hard when dry, you moisten the sponge with water before insertion which softens it up a bit.Soft tampons are made from synthetic sponge, they are like thick disks which are very squishy and inserted high in your vagina up close to your cervix, they can also be lubricated before use.Cloth tampons are tampons made from cloth, sometimes they can be knitted too, so they are as flexible as the cloth that they are made from and how tightly compact they are changes flexibility.Some women find that using an applicator is uncomfortable, so they prefer a tampon like OB, which does not require an applicator and is easy to insert. All major brands of tampons, if inserted correctly, should be comfortable and flexible.
When i use a tampon my flow just passes it. how far is a tampon supposed to be inserted?
Tampons should be inserted as far as you can reach, you shouldn't feel them once inserted correctly. If the flow is going past the tampon it may be the shape of your vagina or the cervix may sit lower than the tampon - the tampon may go to the side of the cervix, rather than under it to catch flow. Try different types of tampons like soft tampons, or use options like menstrual cups, softcups, or pads instead.

Men do not have a vagina, so they cannot use tampons for their intended purpose. (i.e. - to put inot your vagina when you have your period, so as to stop the bleeding from leaking out of your body.) If they wished to use them for other purposes, though I'm not really sure what they would be, then men could in fact use tampons. This might not be medically safe or good for the man's health, however, so I would not recommend it.

You can also simply sit-out of swimming while you're on your period, it's up to you what you use and what you do on your period.
