We are leaving for vacation tonight and im about to...?

get my period. i can tell because ive got cramps. we r going to the beach and i dont know what to do. i cant have fun because i get rly bad cramps sometimes and ive never swam during my period. i use tampons all the time but i wont be able to get in the ocean because ive always heard a shark will eat you...it can smell the blood or something even if u have a tampon in? if anyone can make me feel better im just nervous and i hate my period its gonna ruin my vacation!

Answer:
Oh, don't worry about the sharks, there is no way any is gonna eat you just because you got your period. It's just a myth. Use tampons and get some good pain killers (ibuprofen works great for me and other millions of women!)

Good luck and enjoy your holiday, do not let a stupid period ruin it!!
That's not true.Just use a tampon,take midol,and have fun
it's a myth
Aww man dont worry that has happen to me to!
I doubt that a shark will eat you i really dont know what to say other then dont worry and try to relax really sry
:)
well i have the same problem, tomorrow im going to camp and we go swimming a lot but im just going to lay out in the sun and say i just dont feel like swimming or something but i think it would be fine if u told your dad because i mean guys know about that too.. just dont tell your brother haha he might make fun of you! i hope everything works out
That is completely a myth - go ahead and go swimming. You'll be fine. Take some midol or advil or something with you to help with the cramps!
im going 2 the beach tomorrow for my vacation and i plan to swim and im on my period... the whole thing is a myth... do u think ppl on spring break get eaten by sharks because of ppl wearing tampons?? no!! lol cause there are so many girls... just wear tampons hopfully the cramps dont last the whole time!! have fun :)
