Swimming while on your period
My daughter is only 11 years old and has started her periods she does swimming often about twice a week, but she is scared of using a tampon even though we have spoken about it she feels very uncomfortable about it, but does not want to miss out on her favourite activity as she wants to take this up competitively. Are there any alternatives?
Unfortunately there aren’t.
I can understand why she is scared of using them, most girls are not very comfortable with inserting them and are scared of it breaking etc etc.
Try starting with a mini tampon and try and get those with applicators, since they are easier to insert (especially at first).
No, there aren’t. I know many girls who were scared/skeptical about using tampons for the first time. If your daughter realizes that is the only way, she probably won’t want to miss out on swimming and just might give tampons a try. Tell her its okay to try a couple of times if she doesn’t feel comfortable the first time.
Tampons would be a good choice for your daughter but if she is not wanted to use tampons just keep that option open and keep some in the house so if she wants to try them later all she has to do is grab one and try. Your period stops in the water, so if she is at a meet wearing a tampon wont be a problem the thing is getting to the meet and back she would need to change right before entering the water and right after getting out of the water. or atleast within 3-5 minutes, at the latest. Hope I helped. If you have any others further questions message me. :)
I am a 13 year old girl and I am a swimmer I have not got my period yet but have a felling it is coming soon. I am scared to death because I don’t want to get it while swimming.
