Is is safe to try a tampon although you are not on your period?
No. Tampon should only be worn when on a period and taken out several times a day. Bacteria builds in the tampon and can cause a infection called toxic shock syndrome. It will kill if the bacteria enters the blood stream. Young girls starting their periods also should not use tampons for the first year or two. Read the tampon boxes.
How do you stop your period before a dance?

How do you take out a tampon when your not on your period?
If you are not on your period you should not be using tampons full-stop - this is very dangerous, without sufficient flow tampons will dry-out vaginal tissues causing tears, thus potentially causing pain but also allowing bacterial toxins into the bloodstream so seriously increasing risk of TSS.To remove a dry tampon try to masturbate as when aroused the vagina will relax, open, and lubricate so make it a little easier - you can also use a little lubricant to help too. Try sitting in a shallow bath and helping the water get to the tampon so it can help to soften the tampon.
If your tampon keeps slipping should you try pads?
A tampon should not be slipping out - if used correctly the tampon should sit above the narroest part of the vaginal canal, both this and vaginal muscle tone will keep the tampon in place - if tampons are slipping out you need to discuss this with your doctor. If tampons dont work for you then you should consider using pads or other similar external options like period underwear, belts or interlabial pads, you may also still be able to use internal options like sponges, soft tampons, softcups or menstrual cups.

Should you go to the hospital if a tampon gets stuck and you cant find the string?
I would, but just pull hard on that little string. Try relaxing and taking deep breaths. Then try again to remove it. If not, go to the hospital to prevent any nasty conditions such as TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome)
Is it bad when your tampon string gets bloody but your tampon is only a little bloody?
Your tampon should be completely saturated with blood after 4-6 hours - if the tampon is dry when removing then you need to use a lower absorbency or switch to pads. If the string is getting blood on it some may be from blood lingering in the vaginal canal before tampon insertion, but it may also be that blood is simply bypassing the tampon. Try different TYPES (not just brands) of tampon, you may also want to consider menstrual cups which don't leak.
How long will my period be I started monday My last period was only three days yet this one has already been 3 and I'm still medium flow I am going to the beach on Saturday and refuse to use tampon?
there is no set time as to how long or when your period will last. If you don't want to use a tampon, you don't have to. I do encourage you to at least try one (start small) so you can see what you like best
How do you know when your tampon is in right that you would not bleed?
Tampons should be inserted as far as you can comfortably reach or until the applicator plunger is all the way in, once in position you should not feel any significant discomfort - if it hurts to sit or move then the tampon isn't in high enough, push in further or remove and try again in a few hours. As long as the tampon is in the vagina and used correctly you shouldn't leak.
