Well my freind is throwing a pool party on Thursday night, started my period today, and it will last through the week. Can I use a tampon to go swimming? Will it absorb any water???

Of coarse you can use a tampon to go swimming... you'll feel like if you don't even have your period with it on... I don't really think its absorbing water since it'll be inside you absorbing blood, and you don't have to worry about it slipping out or anything... just remember to change it every four hours to prevent leakage or infection! Have fun =]

You can definitely swim with a tampon in and no it won't absorb the water. Just make sure to get the correct absorbency (light, regular, heavy, super heavy, etc). It's important to get the correct one, for example if you have a light flow you don't want to use the super tampons). Have fun at your party!

Yes, you can use a tampon. I wouldn't think it would absorb any water. I've always stayed away from pools during my monthly so I would not know about that.

Tampons are for swimming and physical activity so yes you can use it while swimming.
It won't absorb water it will absorb menstrual flow.
