Tampons are really nothing to be scared of. Start out with tampax pearl lites as they are very slender and have a plastic applicator. I've worn them since age 11, I'm 34 now. I prefer them over pads, especially since they are a must for water sports.
Just tell your dad its not a good time of the month. He knows about girls and periods, so just tell him.
