If you remove a tampon and it has brown spots then it is likely old blood, normal when your period is light as it takes time for the blood to leave your body and it goes brown. If your period is light then you should not be using tampons at all, only use tampons with full flow. If the tampon has brown spots before insertion then throw it out and check other tampons before using them.
means that you are starting your period or you are just really light
It's not unusual for the amount of flow from your period to vary from hour to hour or day to day. This is a common pattern that women report.
yah what about it sometimes you have a heavy flow and sometimes you have a light flow
Yes you should to make sure that your not pregenant, or having viganal discharge x
You don't have to use tampons to swim while on your period. You can use menstrual cups and softcups for swimming, as well as safer than tampons cups can be worn with light flow which tampons can't, menstrual cups also don't leak like other options. 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.
Yes, spotting is light bleeding and it will show on a tampon. If the tampon isn't saturated in blood after 4-6 hours then you should be using lowest absorbency or if already using lowest absorbency you need to switch to pads as your flow is too light to be using tampons.
How long your period lasts, how heavy or light the flow is, how bad are your cramps / mood, the days between your menstruation and last but not least how often you are changing tour pad / tampon.
Had my normal period dec 6th thru the 10th had sex on the 11th again on the 15th started light bleeding on the 20th for 3 days .
Go and see the doctor
It varies by person. But I've done this before and you will probably just have a really light period (i.e. spotting).
No, tampons and pads (also other menstrual products) are only needed on your period.Once your period is over you no longer use tampons or pads, in fact as your period comes to an end you need to stop using tampons because tampons cannot be used with light flow or spotting. It is a good idea to carry tampons and pads with you ready for when your next period starts, if you're young menstrual cycles can be irregular so your periods can start suddenly without warning.
