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.

What is the best tampon brand to wear while swimming?
There is no specific tampon that's best to use - it's down to personal preference.As always it's best to avoid rayon tampons like Tampax, Playtex, and Kotex which pose higher risks of TSS and irritation, cotton tampons like Emerita, Cottons, and Natracare are the best option. Make sure to use lowest absorbency for your flow and time it t insert a fresh tampon before swimming.Consider menstrual cups instead, cups are internal like tampons but safer and more hygienic so no health risks - this means unlike tampons cups can be worn for up to 12 hours and even with light flow without risk of infections or TSS - cups have nothing showing externally, don't absorb water, don't increase menstrual cramps as tampons can, and menstrual cups don't leak.

Why are you hurting when taking out your tampon?
The most common cause of pain when removing a tampon is having used too high an absorbency - always use lowest absorbency, if the tampon isn't saturated in blood after 4-6 hours use lower absorbency or switch to pads. Tampons could also be painful to remove if using rayon tampons which are chemically treated (such as Tampax, Playtex, or Kotex - use hypo-allergenic cotton tampons instead), if you are tense, or if your hymen is in tact. If tampons continue to cause discomfort you may want to stick with pads, or try options like menstrual cups or softcups instead.
Ive been using tampons for about three years alreadybut recently when you put them in or take it out it hurts why?
Be sure that you're still using tampons correctly - sometimes when we get used to using something so often we become complacent and make mistakes.Change every 4-6 hours.Always use lowest absorbency for your flow.Alternate with pads as often as possible.Don't use throughout your period.Don't use with light flow or spotting.Providing that you're using tampons correctly then the problem may be with the tampon itself - if you use commercial tampons such as Tampax, Playtex, Kotex, etc. bare in mind that they don't inform women of the ingredients used or when they change their tampons, legally they are under no obligation to do so. The tampon company may have changed what ingredients they use, and you may be allergic to the new ingredient - it is also possible to develop a reaction to something you previously used without problems.If using tampons it's best to use hypo-allergenic cotton tampons rather than commercial tampons, or if this discomfort continues you may want to consider menstrual cups.
Can tampons cause vaginal scratches?
Yes, tampons do cause vaginal tissue damage.Tampons are dry and absorbent, they don't just absorb blood but also absorb vaginal moisture needed to keep the vaginal tissues lubricated and protected from damage. Tampons can thus cause splitting and ulceration, especially if using too high an absorbency and rayon tampons increase damage as it's rougher and more aggressively absorbent.Rayon is used on commercial tampons such as Tampax, Playtex, and Kotex, which is why these brands are more likely to cause Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), these tears give bacterial toxins responsible for TSS direct access to the bloodstream.
