period

omfggg i just started my period and my bf wants to swim all week because he has summer school and the school is next to a pool so he goes there every day after it’s over. i COULD use tampons.. ik, but i can’t. the first few times i tried to put them in, i passed out so idk what to do. i really want to hangout with him this week but i don’t want to stop him from going there bc ik he likes going with his friends. what should i do?
