IM HAVING PERIOD TROUBLES! So, Ill just get straight to the point.... Its July 2nd and I started my period! (I started a few months ago but what I mean is... you know you get it monthly -_-) On the 5th of July I have to run 800M and I DO NOT WEAR TAMPONS.... I absolutely cannot run on my period no matter if its near finishing or even in the middle... I tend to run with straight legs and I get tired really easily! I dont want anyone knowing im on my period because I'm just that type of girl.... Unfortunately! My period normally lasts for 4-6 days... But it changes every so-and-so Please help me... Im trying out tampons but its really hard to get it in... (that sound weird...) Im gonna try out tampons tomorrow (3rd July) So my flow is a little lighter... I think my flow is normal so if i can get used to tampons before Friday then Hallelujah .. Any tips from you guys?

OMG!!!!!!!! I had the EXACT same problem on Friday, I had my period, and had to run 800 m!!!! I of course, did not want anyone to know either, but it worked out fine in the end. Your gonna have to run, but pads worked for me. Wear two pairs of underwear, preferably quite tight, and 2 pads. One as usual, and one on the other side of the first pair of underwear. You don't have to wear a tampon. Oh, and by the way, keep as still as possible for the rest of the day. Good luck!

Hi! I learnt about tampons the hard way. When you first wear them, don't get all tensed up (Thats what i did lol) or it really hurts (thats the way i learnt that)! Just relax, put it in. Practise a bit as well

Don't wear them, trust me there a pain in the ass >:)
But my bff has swimming lessons and if shes on 'it' she doesnt go to it... cuz her mum wont ler her wear tampons and my mum might not let me wear them either!

Because you don't have to worry about it? Because it's unsanitary to go swimming without one?

Tampons used to be my worst enemy. I thought they were disgusting and nasty, but now I'm on vacation, and guess what time of the month it is.. I use them everyday now. They really are not as bad as everyone makes them seem. As long as you change them every four hours, and make sure you have extra, you'll be fine. I suggest using the Kotex U brand(the ones that click and are neon colored:P) they're the most comfortable! Anyway, hope this helps.
