littleracersmom - hope you weren't offended by our advice - but we certainly all mean well!

Too late for this race - but for future reference: perphaps you are worried about toxic shock syndrome. If that is the case, my advice is to be sure and tell your daughter it is important to change tampons often (every few hours even though the "OB" box says it is ok to leave in up to 8). Also use the "lowest absorbancy" that is appropriate for her. According to OB: TSS is estimated to occur in 1-17 of every 100,000 menstruating women and girls.

The tampon box insert has a list of FAQ. But do consult your doctor with your concerns if that makes you more comfortable.
