[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to offer a different perspective-- I can well remember the day when I was 12, and I got my period right before swim team practice.  I tried to use a tampon and just could not.  That whole summer I wore a pad in my speedo to practice.  Nobody could tell.  Its not like its that much blood- its not like it went everywhere.  Seriously- ITS FINE.  It  is not different than having a tiny cut with a bandaid.   [/quote]

A tiny cut is different. A period is clots and tissue. "A tiny cut" is not.

Typical flow is 2 Tablespoons over the entire period- spread over 5-7 days.  http://www.cemcor.ubc.ca/resources/very-heavy-menstrual-flow

So know you are not having clots and tissue gushing out- it comes out slowly.   
Yes- the sticky side did wear off in the pool- but a speedo is pretty tight, there is really no where for it to go.  If you are talking about a swim practice its probably no more than 60 minutes in the water- possibly less.[/quote]

Are you even a woman? 
2 tablespoons? That can happen in about 10 minutes. [/quote]
