Tampons: Girls and women are usually able to do all their sports activities during menstrual bleeding if they use tampons. Sometimes, the menstrual flow is a lot, and a girl will leak despite having a tampon in. That means she might want to use tampons a couple of cycles to learn how well they work for her (so surprises will be less likely to happen). Be sure to change tampons at least every 4-6 hours.
