A personal Time of the Month question

[wendypa]

Hi everyone. I am just looking for some opinions/advice about a personal issue (that time of the month). Since you all are a very active group, who better to ask??? My dh and my two kids and I are planning a vacation to Disney world May 1- May7. The time is chosen only because that is the only time we could both get a full week vacation at the same time. However, the first week of the month is always that TOM for me.x( I don't want this to drag me down or in anyway make me less active. We will be doing alot of swimming and water slides etc....

So, just looking for opinions on your favorite products for the active lady???
If there was a way for me to postpone it for a week i would but there is no interfering with a woman's cycle!

I hate to ask this here, but would really value some opinions from some of you extremely active ladies!!

You can delay it with birth control pills. I don't know if you are on them but they say you can just skip the placebo pills and continue with the birth control pills and your period won't come until you stop taking them and do the week of placebos again. Other than that use a good tampon and have fun.:7

Two tampons at once will work if it's really bad. Like I always say, "Shove 'em and leave 'em!"

It's funny to see this question being asked since I'll be going through the exact same thing! We're going to Disney on the 15th of May and I will be due for my period the 14th. Should be a great vacation! I've found that Playtex Super Plus really work for me the first couple days.

We will be going on vacation the 15th of May also. I took care of the problem by getting pregnant. Maybe that's not an option for you!!! Seriously, sometimes I have to use a tampon and a pad, especially if I know cannot get to a bathroom fairly often!
