When a girl have first menstruation can she go swim in the pool?

There is absolutely nothing that a woman can't do while she is menstruating, and that includes swimming in a pool. During menstruation in order to go swimming you need to use an internal menstrual product such as tampons, sponges, softcups, or menstrual cups in order to prevent your blood getting in the pool - although menstrual flow isn't dirty, no one wants to swim through your menstrual blood or uterine tissue! Tampons aren't recommended to younger women due to higher risks of TSS, especially for the first few cycles when you wouldn'tknow your flow pattern to know what absorbency to use - also tampons can't be worn with light flow. Menstrual cups are the best option as they are safe to use at any time without risk of TSS, including with light flow, also unlike tampons cups don't absorb water, have anything showing outside the body, and don't leak like other options either. Opt for a small menstrual cup like Ladycup or MeLuna.


Does swimming during menstruation is dangerous?

It's perfectly safe to go swimming on your period - you can do anything during your period that you would any other time of your menstrual cycle, no reason not to swim on your period.To swim on your period you should use internal menstrual products such as tampons, menstrual sponges, menstrual cups or softcups - this is to stop blood getting in the water, although menstrual blood isn't dirty no one wants to be swimming through your blood in a public pool! In a private pool or in natural water like the sea you can go without internal menstrual products but you do so knowing that getting out of the water people will be able to see your bleeding.


Can I go in the pool on my period without a tampon?

Yes, it's perfectly healthy to swim during your period.You don't have to use tampons, you can use other options such as menstrual cups, softcups, diaphragms, menstrual sponges, or soft tampons - you cannot swim in a public pool without using internal menstrual products as bleeding in the pool is not nice for others or for you to have people see you bleeding in the pool. If you can't use internal menstrual products then you can't swim in public pools, you can swim in private pools or natural water but bare in mind that blood will leave your body so may be noticeable (especially getting out of the water).

How long do you have to wait after your periods ended before you can go swimming?

You can swim any time, even during your periods. Just make sure you have a large enough tampon in you before you go swimming, large enough that you won't have to change for several hours, especially if you are flowing heavy. But afterwards? You don't have to wait for a specific amount of time after having your periods to go swimming, as long as you are leaking too much to be all that noticeable in the pool, you should be just fine.

Yes, you can swim during your period but you need to use one of these;TamponsSoft tamponsSpongesDiaphragmsSoftcupsMenstrual cupsIt is possible to swim without any menstrual products, however only if your flow is very light - this way what little blood leaves your body would be diluted in the water. Bare in mind that if your period gets heavier and you don't use internal sanitary products the blood would be more noticeable, as too would uterine tissue.There is nothing dirty about menstrual flow, it's no different to vaginal discharge and swimming pools are cleaned to avoid bodily fluids being an issue, but no one wants to swim through someone elses menstrual blood.


Can sperm be present in a woman after a menstrual cycle?

The menstrual cycle is the entire reproductive cycle of a woman, from ovulation through to menstruation then through to ovulation again - sperm can remain in the vagina at any stage of the menstrual cycle. Although it's only during the fertile phase, around a week before ovulation, when sperm could swim up through into the uterus, otherwise it will remain in the vaginal canal and be flushed out along with discharge.
