Question
If I go swimming with period what will happen?
Answer
Well, any sanitary pad you are wearing will become extremely wet and you may leak some blood, causing a seriously embarrassing moment. One option is to use a tampon. Select the smallest one, use a little vaseline and follow the instructions in the box to insert it. It gets easier to use a tampon with practice. Good luck!
