sry honey but pads absorb water and ur in a pool. tampons are really the best way to go heres how to put one in:
1st: RELAX!!! this is no big deal.
2nd: lay on your pack with your legs open
3rd: push the tampon in at an angle towards your
back bone
4th: make sure its in all the way, if it's not it may hurt a little
(it won't get lost "up there")
if this doesn't work just keeping trying, you'll get it soon. HOPE I HELPED!!!!!

You pull back your labia (the flap of skin that covers your vagina and clitoris (the erectile part, or what your pee comes out) and insert the tampon (plus the plastic part covering it) about halfway through the vagina and push down on the applicator and it's in... It should not feel uncomfortable, but if it does, try it again, but with your mom's help. She'll probably know a lot more about that then me... And p.s. do not use a pad at the waterpark because the pad would become so enlarged and soaked up. Water and pads do NOT mix together :) Good luck...

no a pad absorbs your bodily fluids so it will just absorb the water straight away
if you open a box of tampons you get an instruction sheet that takes you through all the steps .. the key is just to relax so your muscles in the vagina don't tense up and make it harder to insert a tampon
hope this helps!

You DO realize a pad will soak up the pool water and not your flow right?
Use a tampon or do not go in the water.

Pads and water won't work, and there are instructions in the tampon box.

no you really can use a pad in the water unless you want to sit out of hte water the whole time.. jsut get a box of tampons (like tampax pearl) and read the directions and RELAX... you will get it and will change your week on your period!
