Is She Sitting Out Swim or Practice on Her Period? 6 Things That Help.

Pads don't work in the pool, and most tampons and cups are made for adults. Scarlet makes tampons and a cup sized for tween and teen bodies, so her period doesn't decide whether she plays.

Pads and the pool don't mix.

A pad soaks up pool water and can show through a swimsuit. For swim practice, a meet or a pool party, she needs internal protection: a tampon or a cup.

Tampons made smaller, for growing bodies.

Scarlet X-Small (Lite) tampons are designed smaller, with a smooth, easy-grip applicator made for first-time users. Each one holds up to 6g of fluid, made for light flow days and moments like a swim match, a gymnastics meet or a dance recital.

A teen-sized cup for the long days.

Tournaments, all-day meets and sleepovers are long. The Scarlet X-Small cup is soft, flexible and made from 100% medical-grade silicone, with up to 8 hours of protection and an easy-grip stem for simple removal. It's reusable, so it's there for every season.

She can try both at her own pace.

The Ultimate PLUS kit includes 24 tampons and the cup, plus a full set of pads. She can try a tampon at home first, keep pads for school days, and use whatever she's comfortable with on game day. No pressure to pick one.

A backup for practice and game days.

Every kit includes a pair of emergency period underwear, for long practices, bus rides home and the day her period shows up early.

Pads sized for her, for everything else.

Off the field, she still has 36 pads in four sizes, from a 6.3" mini for light days to an 11.4" pad for heavy nights.

"We love your products and use all the sizes for her. They fit her teen body perfectly. Not too bulky, and they truly hold a lot. She uses sizes 1 and 2 for her lighter days and sizes 3 and 4 for bedtime on heavier days."

Questions moms ask

Is she old enough for tampons?

There's no set age. What matters is that she feels ready and comfortable. Scarlet tampons are made smaller for first-time users, and she can keep using pads until she wants to try. If you have questions about her body, her pediatrician is the right person to ask.

Tampon or cup: which should she start with?

Scarlet tampons are made for light flow days and first-time users, so a light day at home is an easy time to try one. The cup lasts up to 8 hours and is reusable, which helps on long tournament days. The PLUS kit includes both, so she can choose.

She only needs pads right now. Which kit?

Signature has 36 pads in four sizes, period underwear and six tampons to try later. PLUS adds 18 more tampons and the cup for when she's ready.

How do I pick her underwear size?
