The four phases of the menstrual cycle are menstruation, the follicular phase, ovulation and the luteal phase.

Menstruation
is when blood and tissue from your uterus come out of your vagina.
Follicular phase
The follicular phase is when the follicles in the ovary mature. It ends with ovulation. The main hormone controlling this stage is estradiol.
Ovulation
Discharge of ova or ovules from the ovary. 
Luteal phase
The luteal phase begins after ovulation. It lasts for about 14 days and ends just before a menstrual period.

Tampons come in many sizes such as junior, slim, regular, super and ultra. Tampons expand and absorb a lot of blood and can be used for up to 3-4 hours. You can use tampons if you don't want to see blood all over the place or you can even go swimming with a tampon and it wont leak. just don't push it up to high.
