Use some sort of internal protection. It doesn't have to be a tampon. It could be a DivaCup or something similar.

http://www.divacup.com/ Pads are always more unhygienic than tampons.

So you should just start to wear tampons. They were made for female swimmers actually.

I would recomment you to always use tampons. Pads always have an odor. Tampons give you the impression of being clean, as if nothing was.
