∙ 8y agoTo swim during your period you need to use one of the following options:
- Tampons.
- Soft tampons.
- Menstrual sponges.
- Menstrual cups.
- Diaphragms.
- Softcups.
You cannot use tampons before you menstruate 'just in case' because tampons absorb moisture causing vaginal damage that gives bacterial toxins direct access to your bloodstream, without menstrual flow this will be worse and so risks of Toxic shock syndrome are higher. Menstrual cups are a much better option and unlike tampons cups can be worn with light flow or even before your period - also menstrual cups don't increase cramps, absorb water, have anything showing externally, or leak.

Your period is heavy and will not stop can you go swimming?
no you can not go swimming when your period is heavy. When it is at they very end and its not that heavy your period will not stop in the water, but will be held back. Also, if you go swimming and you have your period when you get out of the pool it might start to drip down your leg.
What should you do if your on your period swimming?
tampons if you are swimming etc but if in the bath, nothing :)
should you drink caffeine before you start your period?
well actually NO. but I do it anyway.
How long after your period can you go swimming?
You can always swim even on your period!

Is it preferable to start the pill the Sunday after a period or can it be started before a cycle begins?
Read the package insert for instructions or talk to your ob/gyn for directions.
Is it okay to go in a pool on your period if you have a tampon in?
Yes, it's okay to go in a pool on your period if you have a tampon.You can also use other internal menstrual products while on your period in order to go swimming, for example softcups or menstrual cups - cups are safer than tampons and menstrual cups are a lot more convenient as well as reliable so are a better option than tampons. If you do use tampons be sure to use correct absorbency, time it so you can insert a fresh tampon before swimming, and have a pad on hand ready for when you get out of the water to change into or use as back-up to the tampon.
When should NuvaRing be inserted- when there is spotting or actual period?
It is supposedly effective if you insert it on the first day of your actual period. however, if you have spotting, you may not know exactly when that day is. If you insert it at any time other than the first day, there is a 7 day wait for it to take full effect, so I would just insert it whenever and then wait a week before having unprotected sex.
