Tampons are your friend when it comes to swimming season.

You want to get U by Kotex for tampons if you're in your teen years, because they're the brand supported for teens to keep from getting urinary infections or TSS (Toxic shock syndrome).

Tampons should only be worn while a girl in on their period to keep from getting TSS which is, as far as we know, painful and not-easily-cured. Therefore, tampons come in several variations, some with applicators, some without. It's easiest to have an applicator, normally a slim, plastic applicator is the most painless and quickest applicator VS a cardboard applicator or no applicator. U by Kotex "click" tampons are very easy to use and you pull it until it clicks, gently slide it into the vagina while thumb and middle/index finger are on that one bumpier part where the click part is, but on the overlapping one. Usually the box will explain this to you, or on Google images you can see people holding the tampon like this in an image. Therefore, you should take your middle/index finger (whichever you're not holding on with) and push it down in a quick movement to get it in. If you just barely feel it that's okay and normal. If it feels uncomfortable, itchy, loose, etc. You should remove it. You should start with slender and light flow tampons until you find which is right for you. Tampons should only be worn while a girl is on her period. And bleeding. Tampons should always be worn while swimming and on a period. Now, you know how to insert and choose a tampon. Taking it out is very simple. You should gently tug on the string, tugging it lightly upwards, until it comes out. Putting it in and taking it out should be completely painless. If it is painful, see a doctor or switch to a smaller size. Always try to wear pads while sleeping because leaving it in longer than 4 to 6 hours can cause TSS. Therefore, if you have any other questions don't hesitate to email GirlTalkxx@yahoo.com
