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.

Do you were a pad in the water when you have a period?

You can not wear a pad while swimming mostly because you'll leak. The blood will drip into the water, which is humiliating, first of all, for women. Also, because the pad is surrounded and drowned in water, it could fall off. I'd just use a tampon while going swimming. It'll stop you from leaking, it'll just absorb the blood and you'll be fine. Good Luck

You have to go swimming but blood leaks out your tampon?

Use a menstrual cup - cups are internal like tampons but safer and more hygienic so have many advantages over tampons. Cups hold far more flow than even the most absorbent tampon and have light suction so don't leak like tampons, also cups are best for swimming as unlike tampons cups can be worn even with light flow, they don't absorb water, and nothing shows outside of your body.


How do you change a tampon?

You simply pull the tampon string gently but firmly - or insert clean fingers vaginally to grab the tampon itself in order to remove. Once removed you wrap-up the used tampon and throw in the waste bin, or if you'reusing reusable tampons clean out in the sink. You can then insert a fresh tampon or reinsert the reusable tampon - although it's best to alternate with pads after tampon use.
