URGENT - where stocks period swimwear in store?

Flying abroad on Thursday am and dd has just got her first period Sad she's young, and does not want to use tampons yet.

I've searched Amazon for period swimwear and cannot find any that will fit her able to be delivered by tomorrow. She'd need at the biggest an adults size 6, but more preferably a kids 11/12. Even just bottoms we could put under her current swimsuits.

so I'm thinking if I could drive to any stores which may stock these products - I'm close to a large city with departments stores and close to a large shopping centre with a reasonable range of stores.

Trouble is, I only know of Modi Bodi and Amazon and neither are able to get the item to me in 24 hours. So if anyone knows of any physical shops that stock these items, I can ring around and see if my local branches have any in stock.

Thanks in advance!

Oh FFS. As if the teeny amount of blood diluted in the swimming pool provides any kind of real risk to anyones health. That’s ridiculous. The chances of someone picking up anything from menstrual blood in a pool is so remote it’s not ever worth thinking about.
Periods often reduce in water anyway due to lower gravity and the water pressure, and normal amounts of bleeding are low as well in an average cycle.
The biggest “risk” is embarrassment and period pants under a swimsuit will help prevent this. But all the pearl clutching at the idea of some blood in the pool
really is ridiculous and feels
somewhat like internalised misogyny.
Poo is going to be far more of a risk to anyone in a pool… 💩

The thought of swimming in someone's period blood is gross but there's so many other fluids likely to float around in there. stale poo, urine, skin, dried semen.. there's a reason why I mostly avoid swimming!
