Ok, here's the story. I'm going to leave for Florida on Friday, but my period just came (not for the first time). the car trip is going to suck because I'll be cramped between people and feeling sick... how am I supposed to swim? Do tampons work well in water??? I dont use them, but I dont want my vacation to be ruined. i also have another question... if my period is light on some days, would a regular absorbancy tampon be ok? I dont want TSS. Any advice or good cheer would comfort me. Has this ever happened to any of you?

Chill out!

First, if you have cramps, just take Ibuprofen. Works all the time for me.

Secondly, yes tampons are great for swimming. (In fact, that's the only time I wear them.) Just change them every two hours, so then you don't need to worry about TSS. And yeah, on light days regular absorbancy would be ok. It would just be a little more difficult pulling it out because it's sort of dry.

But don't worry about it. Don't let your period ruin your vacation!

Every 2 hours??? That is too often. They only need to be changed every 6-8 hours.
