∙ 9y agoIf you don't have menstrual supplies then talk to a school nurse or teacher - you need to have menstrual supplies to be able to attend school without problems like this and it's part of the schools job to ensure that you are in a position where you can learn so they will help you. In future if money is a problem you may want to consider options like cloth pads or menstrual cups which long-term save a lot of money, these also don't cause odour like commercial menstrual products.
Short-term use toilet paper or cloth folded up into your underwear whenever possible to deal with menstrual flow, as long as you change this often this will not cause bad odour - using cloth is like using cloth pads (you could make your own cloth pads if you can sew, see online for instructions on making your own pads), which are actually more hygienic than tampons and commercial pads, thus this shouldn't cause any bad odour. You could also ask your friends for tampons or pads.

What does low flow of blood during menstrual period?
Tampons
Are tampons only supposed to be worn in the water or do I have to wear pads?
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.

Why do women need tampons?
Tampons are used during menstruation or withdrawal bleeds, they are inserted vaginally to absorb flow before it leaves the body. Some girls wear tampons because they prefer internal options and may prefer these to menstrual cups, softcups, or menstrual sponges. Some girls do not like tampons or internal options at all so will use external options like pads or period underwear instead.
Do you have to use tampons?
No, you don't have to use tampons.You can also use options such as pads, menstrual cups, softcups, diaphragms, menstrual sponges, or you can opt to avoid menstrual products all together and instead use free-bleeding or menstrual release. It is completely up to you what you use during menstruation and there is no reason what-so-ever to use tampons when there are so many other alternative options available to you. From a medical stand point tampons are best avoided as they are not very healthy or hygienic.

Can wearing a tampon early cause you to miss your period?
Size isn't a factor, but tampons may increase bleeding. Many women notice when switching from tampons to options such as menstrual cups or pads that their flow reduces, thus there is an assumption that tampons increase flow - one reason put forward for this is the chemicals within many brands of tampons, however absorbency may also be a major factor. Tampons don't just absorb blood they also absorb vaginal moisture, this causes ulceration in vaginal tissues which could bleed and thus adding to flow - in the 1970's when super-absorbent materials were being used in tampons many women were admitted to hosppital with vaginal hemoraging, thus this theory isn't too far-fetched.
How to measure menstrual blood loss?
You can get a menstrual cup such as a Mooncup which allows you to measure flow exactly. Menstrual cups are an internal menstrual product but safer than tampons so can be worn throughout your period without needing to alternate with pads, without risk of TSS or leaking. Most menstrual cups have measuring points on the side of the cup to allow you to measure flow.

There is absolutely nothing that a woman can't do while she is menstruating, and that includes swimming in a pool.

Tampons aren't recommended to younger women due to higher risks of TSS, especially for the first few cycles when you wouldn'tknow your flow pattern to know what absorbency to use - also tampons can't be worn with light flow. Menstrual cups are the best option as they are safe to use at any time without risk of TSS, including with light flow, also unlike tampons cups don't absorb water, have anything showing outside the body, and don't leak like other options either. Opt for a small menstrual cup like Ladycup or MeLuna.
