On my period but going to a pool party

ok, I know I need 2 use tampons (for the 1st time) cause I’m going 2 a pool/ graduation party on saturday. wut kind shud I get so I dont leak and so that I will be comfortable and avoid Toxic Shock Syndrome? p.s. I know I shud avoid tampons with high absorbency 2 avoid TTS, but I dont want to leak in the pool and embarras myself…

Answer #1

toxic shock syndrom is cause by wearing a tampon with too high absorbancy, not changing it withing afew hours, and if it breaks apart inside you although rare, these are what can cause it to occur it depends on your flow though but try to get the lowest absorbancy you need if you have a light flow, opt for a slim or super slim theres a few different brands…libra, kotex, carefree…ect if you have a heavy flow, youll need a bigger tampon be sure to follow all instructions carefully and relax! also if your an australian or new zealand resident and sign up at libra http://www.libragirl.com/libragirl/become/become_a_libragirl.jsp youll get a free starter kit! that includes some pads, tampons and a little book explaining it all, including tss all in a cute little bag! otherwise there are a lot of other sites that will send out free samples and its good if your a bit embarrassed to get them yourself or want to try new brands

Answer #2

TSS is VERY RARE but if you use a tampon use the lowest absorbency to your flow if its full or your bleeding up the absorbency if it isnt filled much lower the absorbency

Answer #3

You should wear super you wont get toxic shock symdrom unless you dont cahnge it within right after you get out of the pool up to six hours. I wouldnt worry its not a big deal, it might hurt alittle going in but thats normal. you should be fine ~ good luck!

Answer #4

I usually have a pretty heavy flow, wut shud I use then?
