you can but theyll expand like a diaper. if you wont try tampons try a diva cup. pads in water dont work. and its unlikely a sharks going to attack you, people freak out about the stupidest things. and isnt true that your period stops in water, rather it disperses the blood and its harder to see.

you can wear a pad in the water, without wings of course, but pads asborb the water, and blow up. this may cause others to see it. you say you don't like tampons, but that may be the best resort.
otherwise, most people say your period stops in the water, or slows down atleast. if its really light, you might not need anything. or even a pantiliner.

No pads in the pool. It will bloat.
You should just try and use a junior size tampon. They are smaller and very comfortable, you can't even feel it.
I have a very narrow vagina so it works good for me. I used to be grossed out but I change it very often and its really not so bad.

Ew, no. The water will be soaked into the pad and not the menstrual flow.
Wear a light absorbency tampon.
Do you really want blood running down your leg when you get out of the water?

i would never trust a pad when swimming but some people do wear them
if you do plan on going swimming and are going to wear a pad, do not go swimming in open water

the pad isn't gonna absorb anything once you get in the pool- it'll feel even MORE Like a diaper and it'll show

If you won't wear a tampon I suggest that you don't swim

if you take birth control, try skipping the placebos and go straight into your next round of pills. (the placebos are normally the last week) this should make you skip your annoyance
