Swimming while on your period

tampons are the answer love sorry

yes if you dont use a tampon though your going to get some blood in the water you cant swim with a pad, because that will puff up and absorb all the water and the blood will leak off it if ytou want to go swimming youll need to wear a tampon

By “nothing” I assume you mean a pad or tampon?

I wouldn’t recommend it - not because it’s unhealthy or anything, but what happens when blood meets water? It spreads.

Not a nice picture when you turn the swimming pool or beach red.

Agree!

If you feel uneasy about using a tampon, try simply using some cotton wool.

Way back when I was a teenager and a swimming instructor, that’s what we used to do on ‘those days’.

That said, tampons today are easy to use, and come with simple instructions. They’re probably your best bet.

Water does usually stop the flow of your period, there’s like a pressure thing involved, unfortunately, sometimes the walls do squeeze a little too hard, defying the pressure, and then you have bloody water (not a nice sight), also, there’s the few minutes where you’re actually getting into the water, and when you get out…
