This may sound strange to you, but you should definitely consider a reusable menstrual cup. It is like a tampon in that it goes completely inside of you, but you won't have to pack a bunch of supplies and you won't have to change it as often. In some ways its tricky to get it in and remove it. (And it is *very* important to keep it clean.) But it sits lower in the body than a tampon, so once you figure it out, it is easier and more comfortable.
Good luck, and have fun in Cuba.

Tampons or no swimming, sorry. Ask a female adult for help.
Don't use a pad, it'll just soak up the water and leave the blood running down your leg when you get out of the water.
Menstruating is totally normal for a woman to have, so don't be worried about if they know or not.

It is very difficult if you can't get along with tampons.
This link about inserting tampons might be of help.

Try the smaller mini tampons you might find them easier.
