ask her and tell her about the swimming. This is no big deal. Tampons will work.

yes you can swim with a tampon. Your mom should be happy to answer your question, remember she's a girl too. Just go up to her and say mom, I have a question about tampons. That will get the ball rolling. If for some reason you are too embarassed to ask her. There are instructions on how to properly insert a tampon in the box. Just follow the instructions. It's really not as complicated as it may seem. You will figure it out.

I think you should ask ur mom. Just explain to her that you want to be able to swim and stuff, i'm sure she'll understand. If she doesnt, just buy a box. there are directions on it but get the smallest kind like juniors,lites or regulars. You can even try asking a close friend who has had there period before and wears tampons, But i'm sure your mom will understand.

yes wear a tampon and i would tell your mom that you got your period but you dont necessarily need to ask her how to put it in... just take one and with a few tries you should be able to get it in or there are directions in the box that you could try using putting it in is easy and you wont even be able to feel it and you can swimall day long just be careful of leaks god luck

I'm sure your mom wouldn't mind helping you out, it may seem hard to ask her and embarrassing but she did raise you. Tampons are easier to wear if you go swimming, and you may not even feel it. At first it will feel uncomfortable but your just not used to it. When i got my very first period it was right before i went to a swimming party. My mom was more than happy to help me out and when i was swimming i couldn't even tell i was wearing it.

There are directions in the box on how to put one in. If your embarssed to ask your mom cat a gyno clinic, I think that the directions will help. Also it is ok to swim with a tampon in, just don't leave it in for more than what the box says. You don't want to get TSS. Toxic Shock Syndrome.

You can go swiming while wearing a tampon, but DO NOT FORGET TO CHANGE IT every 4 to 8 hours(whether you're in the pool or not). :D Read the box for directions on how to put it in. If not just calmly go to your mom, and say, "This is my first time, and I need you to tell my how to put this tampon in." I really don't know how to explain it myself.

I would ask mom, I know imbarrassing....But she has been there and I am sure she would have no problem explaining it...And trust me it is not hard...If you do not want to ask look in the box of tampons there are papers in there that tell you how to do it....Swimming with one is no biggie, I did it all the time as a teenager....So go have fun and stay cool!!!

Don't be embarrassed to ask your mom thats why shes there and make sure that the string from the tampon isn't hanging out your swimsuit. It might hurt alittle but it beats wearing a maxi pad & make sure you change or you'll get TSS and you could die.

i think you sould not even be wearing tampons untill you had sex and if you already lost your verginaty you should ask your mom tell her that your friend has invited you to go swim and you just started your period and you have a question about wearing tampons.
