Don't let your fear of using a tampon when swimming don't make you enjoy a sunny day at the pool or beach. Many girls do not understand that using a tampon when swimming is no different from using it at school or on a Sunday picnic. You should just use it as you usually use it, just with some extra attention before you are ready to swim. Here's what you need to do.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Insert the tampon

Step 1. Insert the tampon as you usually do

You should feel comfortable before jumping into the pool. To use it, remove it from the package, find a comfortable position that allows you to place the applicator halfway into the vagina and then press the applicator in the upper half to push it up as high as you can. When you feel that the tampon is in place, remove the applicator.

You should feel all the absorbent entering the vagina and exiting the applicator. If you don't push it well, it will come out with the applicator

Step 2. Make sure you are comfortable

Walk, sit and move a little just to make sure you don't hear it. If it hurts, try again or push it higher with your fingers. Sometimes the tampon does not flow into the right position, you are probably at the end of the cycle. In this case, you should avoid forcing it if it hurts too much.

Method 2 of 2: Swim with a tampon

Step 1. Choose the appropriate swimsuit

This is probably not the right occasion to wear your brand new light pink or milky white bikini. Choose a dark colored one, in case there are any leaks. You can also choose one with thicker panties if that makes you feel less exposed. Put something that makes you feel comfortable and that doesn't force you to constantly check yourself. You will feel better if you know that any loss will be little noticeable.

Step 2. Carefully fold the absorbent cord

The only thing that could happen is that the absorbent cord dangles out of your briefs. So make sure you fold it well inside the bathing suit and don't worry too much about it. If you really want, you can cut it with a pair of nail scissors but do not shorten it too much or it will be difficult to remove the sanitary napkin.

Step 3. Don't wear panty liners

These don't do well in the water. Unfortunately, you will have nothing to protect your swimsuit from leaks, even if the water will take care of it a little. You can only wear a panty protector if you are sure you will not enter the water and also that you will not show the underside of your swimsuit (panty protectors are visible).

Step 4. Consider wearing shorts when you get out of the water

If you want extra protection and are nervous about getting out of the water and sunbathing in a swimsuit while wearing the tampon, you can put on a pair of comfortable denim shorts when you get out of the water to feel more confident..

Step 5. Change the tampon more frequently if you want

Although it is not necessary, because you are swimming, if you get paranoid and prefer to change it often or it makes you feel safer when you get out of the pool, then you can change every 2 hours or so.

Step 6. Enjoy your swim

Don't worry too much about swimming with a tampon, they all do it. Enjoy your day at the pool and don't worry about leaks! Swimming relieves cramps, keeps you fit and makes you feel better and happier.
