The last time I went to Pangkor I was so unfortunate to get my period and it was on the first day of the trip but I had already expected it so I brought tampons. Before I tried it all my friends gathered in the hotel room for a girls chit chat session and all of them told me how their friends tampon got stuck when the string deteached from the tampon. But I tried it anyway. You have to really read the instructions before you use them. It took me bout 20 mins for me to use the first one then after that it was easier. It didnt leak at all. Anyways, just enjoy yourself there and dont stress too much about it, youll have more fun that way.
