Tampons should be changed every 4-6 hours - some tampon companies  say 8 hours to make their products seem more convenient, but that's  too long to wear a tampon and if you â¦can go that long without  leaking you're using too high an absorbency.
Pads absorb liquids and that includes the pool water. Even if you wear an ultra-thin pad and wear shorts to cover it, a pad in the water will poof up and wonât absorb your period. You can swim on your period when you wear a tampon. Tampons are worn inside your body to absorb your period before it leaves your body. When you change your tampon, you may find that your tampon is a little wet at the bottom closer to the string. This is because a tiny bit of pool water enters your vagina when you go swimming.
