Added on September 13, 2010, 6:55 pmHey, I was gonna recommend playtex too. They used to have lotsa promo at my school.
and we waste them by playing ya, they're much more costly but you'll be safe..
Can go swim without worry. Cheaper than your pills and later dialysis.
haha. don't worry, i played with my first tampon applicator as well. was just so curious about it. but nowadays i just use the cheaper ones distributed by J&J, OB i think. so much cheaper and easier to carry around as well.
btw, there's this new cup thingy in the local market, has been in US for long time already la. i was thinking of giving it a try as it seems to be safer than tampon and can last for 12 hours or so. but dunno where to find. just saw brochure of it only.

Also, regarding tampons and sharks, it depends how far out you're planning to swim. If it's near the shore, go ahead. If you're taking a boat out and scuba diving with tampons on, DO NOT DO IT. IT IS NOT SAFE. Tampons are not 100% and they may leak.
well, most of my diver girl friends use tampons. so i guess it doesn't really matter actually.
honestly, i wouldn't worry if it leaks. you have your bikini/swimsuit and then your 3mm/5mm wetsuit to protect you. plus, you can be underwater for only 40min max. then get up and change the tampon on board the boat. i change after every dive and haven't had any problem with leaking. even on my first and second day of period which are my heaviest. it only leaks when i have a very heavy flow or didn't insert it properly. as long as i change every 2 hours i'm pretty much safe from leakages.
anyway, i don't think TS will be doing anything like that. most likely just go snorkeling and swim at the shore.
just enjoy yourself la.
