I have togo in the water because the whole reason me and my cousin planned this was so we could swim.

Why can't you use tampons? Do they hurt?
Just keep trying, you'll get it eventually. Use tampons with plastic applicators and make sure they are pushed in as far as they can be.
(WATER DOES NOT STOP A PERIOD!! I don't know where every body has heard this. It's just not true. If you are going in the water there really isn't any other option but tampons)

I take it you mean you have trouble inserting a tampon. I'm going to assume you have tried different applicator types and the slenderest tampon you can buy, lubricated it, relaxed etc etc... If your hymen is intact and large, you may just not be able to get one applied.
Don't panic! Just wear a black swimsuit cut generously across the crotch, maybe one with a boyshort bottom or a skirt, and put a super-absorbent ultra-thin maxi pad inside (I would choose Always because the plasticky cover holds up well in water and prevents leakback), and change it as often as you can. Pads will survive short swims just fine, and the suit will hold it so close to your body that no blood will escape. A thin one won't hold enough water that bloody water will squeeze out when you walk, unless you bleed TONS. Really. Exercise a lot during any days before the trip that you are bleeding. Odds are, you will not bleed near enough during the duration of your swimming time to cause you any problem.

Well if you go right into the water, honestly you dont need anything. The blood will wash away, and no one can tell. Just make sure that once you get out of the water go to the bathroom and put a pad on. Hope this helps good luck!!

Oooooh this sux....
Ok I guess that you can just tan instead of going in the water, and you may want to wear a smaller pad so it won't show while wearing a bathing suit. Um...I hope you are not wearing one of those small bikinis with the tiny bottoms, because I still have yet to see they day that they make a pad that small and absorbnt. You'll pry have to wear a one-piece and possibly a towel around your waist. This is all I can help you with. Good luck! =]

I have the same problem. I can't use them either and I was invited to a pool party. TRUST ME! Most of the girls there were in the same situation I was in. All you have to do is were a darker bathing suit (or at least darker bottoms) and don't go in the water. Hang out on the sand. Bring a volleyball to play with. Have fun!

uhm not a good idea to get in the water with your period on.... have you tried using slim tampons? if not just wear a pad and a one peice bathing suit and sit on the beach.... not trying to scare ya, but there are certain animals in the water that have a keen sense for blood, especially sharks...
edit: you period does not stop while you're in the water it just washes away in the water, making it seem as if it has stopped.... again not a good idea to get in the water on your period

Oooh...that sucks! You could try wearing a thin pad and swim shorts over your bathing suit, but you will have to change it constantly..sorry. Is there any way you good reschedule the trip? If not you could work on your tan...I'm not sure there is too much you can do....being a girl can suck sometimes!

Well, if you don't want to use a tampon you DEFINATLY can't go in the water with a pad .... so a tampon is you'r best choice just take a deep breath and ..... "go for it?" unless you use a pad and stay out of the water....sorry.... =]

wen you go in the water your period naturally stops for that time so wat i would do (even tho this souds totally crazy) is wear a 2 peice swim suit that has a skirt bottom and put on a thin pad and just have fun then wen ur done in the water change the pad. hope this helps
