I am 14, and got my period in August. I cna't use tampons, they just don't work for me. So I am going to the beach during my period. And I want to stop it without birth control!

Well since your only 14 and you just started your period not too long ago I will tell you how this really works. First of all you can't stop your period sweetie no matter what you try to do. Tampons are the best thing to use if your going to the beach. Perhaps you are not using the tampons the right way, or your not getting the right kind. What I mean by that is you may be getting tampons that are for light periods or for heavier ones. If you have a heavy period then you need to get tampons that have "Super" on the box so that you won't leak out the tampon. If you have a light period then you need to get a tampon that's "Regular". If your having problems putting them inside you then you need to read the directions because their very easy to put in. Once their inside of you, you can't even feel them. I've been wearing them for as long as I can remember and their no problem at all. I wouldn't suggest going to the beach with a pad. If you want to feel like you have a diaper that's soaked on you then go right ahead, but wearing a tampon is your best bet sweetie. Otherwise there's no other way to stop your period until it goes off by itself.

Honey, as the others are stating, you can't just stop your period, not without the use of birth control... and for you, that isn't the route to go.
Try another brand/size of tampon. I've been to the beach, to the pool, with my period, and have worn tampons. Nobody will know, I promise.

im sorry honey but the only way you'd be able to stop it would be going on birth control but that wont have a quick effect. you should really try tampons. if they hurt then you most likely are not putting it in all the way or you are using large ones. try using a really light one, and keep practicing until you get it right. it took me about 4 times before i used them correctly. you will know right away when its in correctly becasue you wont be able to feel it! its great! :) i honestly think you should give them another try, if not now, sometime in the future. and you can go in the water! well i hope you think about it and have fun at the beach !

Tampons. Get the slender tampons and try that.
How do they "not work" for you? It took me at least half an hour and several tries each time to insert my first tampon. After that first time it gets easier.
I would NOT go into the water without a tampon on.

There is no other way to stop it besides either: using tampons, taking the Pill continuously or getting pregnant (not that I recommend it at your age, but it's one way to stop period.)

There is no healthy way to stop your period so don't even try. Any method can affect you for life. You don't need to go to the beach exactly in that week. It's too dangerous to stop your period.

The only thing you can do is learn to use a tampon. Used properly, tampons are good. You won't feel them, and they are actually cleaner, and more comfortable than a pad. Tampax has teen tampons. Get those, try em out...
GOOD LUCK!

It stops for a rapid time in water, yet while she gets out it could pass returned to the popular cycle. The water does not end the flow. Her era possibly basically ended day after on the instant, the water does not have led to it.

Sorry but there's no way besides birth control pills, unless you starve yourself and that's horribly unhealthy.

You can't stop it without birth control.
