Camping with Boys while on Period?

I definitely recommend using tampons if you want to swim. I know you say you don't use them but maybe you can just try it out and see. It's really not that bad.

If you feel like you can't use a tampon, don't bring your swimsuit and act like you are sad you forgot it. That way you can't be pressured into going swimming. Other than that I think you should be able to do all of the other activities just fine.

Also, you can be discreet about putting on new pads by doing it whenever you get changed into your PJs or your day clothes. Just stick the pad in a secret place (your pocket, your clothes bag, etc) and sneak off to the bathroom to get changed and do change your pad at the same place. You could also carry a small bag around with you (maybe it could have a water bottle or sun screen in it) and put your pads in there. That way you can just take the bag with you to the bathroom and nobody will suspect a thing!

I wish you the best of luck!

dang, the only way I can say is to use tampons. Are they uncomfortable for you? It took me a while to get the hang of putting them in right and I prefer them a lot more than pads, just keep practicing if that's the reason

Simple. Wear your pads like you would on any occasion or vacation.

I assume you will have a bathroom there.

just take care of it in private
