what brand of tampon is best for swimming?

Question

I don't need loooong instructions on how to put one in.... I already use them, but the ones I've used leaked while swimming (even after like 30 minutes). I want to know if there is a brand that protects especially well. Thanks.

Answer 1

tampax pearl and playtex beyond are great for swimming.

Answer 2

Any will do fine.


Tampons are the ideal solution for active girls who play sports and especially swim, and even for other girls they are MUCH more comfortable than pads, they are cleaner than pads, and much more environmentally friendly than pads.

Tampons do not hurt, and they are not at all uncomfortable, though sometimes girls are a little bit uncomfortable with the idea of inserting them at first.

One way to get past your fear of using a tampon, is to become better acquainted with yourself. Some time when you are not on your period, but before your next period, and when you have some time to be alone, take a few minutes to explore and see what the whole area is about. This is something that is essential for any girl.

Get comfortable, use a hand mirror, and with your other hand spread yourself open and look around. It is not dirty, or ugly, or wrong in any way, it is your body, you should know what it is about and how it works. When you are comfortable, slip a finger inside a few inches.

Next time you have a period, you will be ready to give a tampon a try, and will have a good idea what sort of experience to expect. It is different, but it is not bad. Honestly a tampon is WAY better than a pad ever was. Don’t feel bad if you don’t get it quite right the first few times you try it – it can take a bit of practice. Just keep trying until you get it right. When it is right you won’t be able to feel it at all.

Using a tampon with an applicator is easier at first, but I think the OB without the applicator is easier, more comfy to put in, and much better for the environment. You will have to pick for yourself.

Which ever one you get, follow the instructions on the box, and do not leave it in for longer than the instructions say is safe.

Answer 4

I've tried both tampax and ob, however neither for swimming.
As to which brand I prefer, I'd definitely go for ob. As the previous person said, tampax is maybe easier if it's your first few times, but eventually, you'll see that ob feels much easier, more comfortable and more natural to insert

Answer 5

This is truly a matter of personal preference. The absorbency ratings (regular, super, super plus) are great guidelines. If you bleed through quickly, next time use a more absorbent one. The absorbency ratings are set by the FDA so must fall within that range on all brands.

Answer 6

tampax i think is the best cuz it's like the oldest brand. (like they've been around since the longest) but you might also wanna try playtex cuz my friends says it's really great but i never tried playtex before... so try one of them. tampax is what i use and it's good but i never tried it for swimming yet and im going to tomolo

Answer 7

any will work--- just make sure you find one that is comfortable for you and that fits your needs.
Personally I would go with Tampax Pearl or Playtex.... plastic applicators are better.
