    Perhaps the solution here might be to wear a menstrual cup. The quote below, is from the following site. Menstrual cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Quote:

    Can be worn during sports such as swimming. Tampons can also be worn swimming, though they may wick water, become saturated, and then drip dilute bloody water. Menstrual cups are therefore more reliable menstrual protection for public swimming activities.

    I have used tampons many of many times while swimming and never have had an issue with them becoming saturated with water. One great thing about tampons is that you can do things such as swimming or playing sports.
    Make sure you are putting the tampon in correctly. Maybe you are not placing it in far enough. You should not be able to feel it at all once you have inserted it correctly.
