So my period lasts about 6 days. The problem is, I often go over to my boyfriend's house and go swimming, and I also swim for fun. I'm having a really hard time sometimes because of my period, though. If I have a heavy flow because I've just started my period for that month, I can just use a tampon. But I'm bummed out because I have no idea what to do if I want to go swimming when my period is winding down - you know, a rather light flow, but still enough to warrant using a hygiene product of some sort... I can't just go without one in the pool.

What do I do in this case? I can't use a tampon because apparently they will be hard to remove and stuff if I don't bleed enough.

Thanks.
