Is it good 4 a 13 year old to use a tampon?
It's recommended that pre-teens and teens don't use tampons - the reason is that the younger you are the less likely it is that you have antibodies to TSST-1 toxins responsible for TSS so are at higher risk. Younger women are also often less capable of making an educated decision about high-risk items like tampons and may not be responsible enough to use tampons correctly.
It is best to use pads at first, and if a girl wants to use something internal she should consider safer options like menstrual cups or softcups - these pose no health risks like TSS or infections, also more convenient and reliable.

There is no way that you would be expected to sit on a boat for 15 hours without any access to a toilet - it just wouldn't happen, if you have access to a toilet then you can change your tampon and pads. If you are ever in a situation where you can't change a tampon every 4-6 hours then you shouldn't use a tampon, you can leave menstrual cups or softcups in for up to 12 hours so could potentially go a little longer without risk.
What could be wrong if you are 2 weeks late for your period and your period is always on time?
That would depend on your definition of "wrong." You might be pregnant. Many people consider that a good thing, however. Of course, if you are an unwed teenager, that could be a problem. Have you had unprotected sex lately?
If your period is only delayed 3 days, it doesn't mean you're pregnant - this kind of thing isn't uncommon. Besides if you haven't had sex, then you're not pregnant.
Go see your doctor.
Can a tampon come out while you are peeing?
No, tampons cannot come out while you're urinating. Tampons go into your vagina and you urinate from your urethra, the two are completely different parts of your body. Unless you have a very serious problem with muscle weakness throughout your pelvic muscles this is not going to happen.
Can vingar help you if you have a discharge?
All cis women have discharge at all times because this is how your vagina keeps itself clean and healthy - it flushes out dead cells, lubricates the vaginal tissues to keep them healthy, and kills harmful bacteria while allowing healthy bacteria to thrive. If you have excessive discharge then it can be a sign of a vaginal infection, as such you need to talk to your doctor.
When a women period has ended for life will she have a white discharge in her panties?
Yes, a woman will always have discharge.
Discharge starts during puberty and continues throughout your life, although it lessens as you enter menopause it will still continue as discharge is needed to keep the vagina clean and healthy. Discharge flushes out dirt and dead cells, is slightly acidic to keep a healthy level of bacteria, and keeps vaginal walls moist so they don't dry out - it will also change in colour, smell or texture if you have a vaginal infection.
Discharge changes throughout your menstrual cycles too, which can tell you a lot about your menstrual cycles, you also get fertile cervical mucus around a week before ovulation that helps keep sperm alive in the vagina so it can reach the egg. You will also notice more discharge when aroused as this helps prevent pain or damage during sex.
What does it mean when your period is only about 3 days long?

Is there something wrong if you have light bleeding for 2 months?
