Hi i just got my period today and i have a 4 hour pool party tomorrow. i can't use a tampon so i was wondering how can i swim?

Try not to swim,,,: My advice would be to try not to swim if your period is active. If you can't use a tampon and you must swim some try to clean yourself thoroughly before and after. But it'd be smart to avoid swimming if you're not comfortable with it. Best of luck.
