my beauties, I'm here to tell you, yes you can swim while on your period. You can wear a tampon but don't wear it longer than 6-8 hours. If you aren't familiar with tampons that's not a problem.

From experience I know you don't leak while in the water so just wade in like any other day. The tricky part is getting out of the water. You need to get out and then put a pad on right away. But if your flow is heavy then I would shoot for tampons.

If you're in a situation where you'll be in and out of the water then a dark bathing suit is a must. You don't need to go to the bathroom and put a pad on if you're just gonna be sitting outside then going back into the water. If you're at a beach and you plan to walk around for an hour before returning to the ocean then putting a pad on would be a smart idea.

For those of you who don't believe the flow stops while in the water just think of when you're bathing. Do you see blood then? Most likely not unless your flow is really heavy.

I hope I could be of help to you.

Yes, you may swim while on your menstrual cycle although many women find it uncomfortable. You can wear tampons so no leakage. I know if I am swimming while on my menstrual cycle I feel nauseous and light headed.

Yes, you can go swimming on your period.

You would need to use internal menstrual products;

  • Tampons.
  • Soft tampons.
  • Sponges.
  • Menstrual cups.
  • Softcups.
  • Diaphragms.

Menstrual cups are the best method as they are safer and more hygienic than tampons so pose no health risks, this means that unlike tampons cups can be worn for up to 12 hours and during light flow. Menstrual cups are also a good option as they have nothing showing outside the body, they don't absorb water, they don't increase cramps, and they don't leak like other options.

When flow is light what little blood leaves the body can be diluted in the water, so much so it can seem like your period has stopped, however if flow gets heavier blood or uterine tissue may be seen in the water or once you get out. Although menstrual flow is no more dirty than vaginal discharge, so no worse if it gets in the water, no one wants to swim through your menstrual blood so it is most hygienic and considerate to use internal menstrual products.

There's nothing to say that you 'should' but you can go in the pool if you want to.

You do need to use one of the following options:

  • Tampons
  • Soft tampons
  • Menstrual sponges
  • Menstrual cups
  • Diaphragms
  • Softcups

Menstrual cups are best as they are internal like tampons but safe so can be worn for up to 12 hours and even with light flow, so the most convenient option. Menstrual cups have nothing showing outside your body, they don't increase cramps as tampons can, and they don't leak.

Yes, women that are menstruating can go swimming. They would want to wear a tampon to catch the blood. I wouldn't recommend it the first couple of days when the woman's bleeding the heaviest, but they could if they wanted to. My apologies if I grossed anyone out!
