Yes, you can do anything you like during your period. The only condition when it comes to swimming is that you need to use internal menstrual products so that the blood doesn't come out in the pool for everyone to see and have to swim through! Pads as a big no-no as disposable pads will come unstuck and fall apart, even with cloth pads they would become saturated with water so unable to absorb blood and the blood would bypass the pads while you're in the water anyway.

You can use any of the following to swim on your period:

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

Menstrual cups are the best option as unlike tampons or sponges they can be worn before your period or with light flow, they don't increase cramps, don't absorb water, don't have anything showing outside the body, can be worn for up to 12 hours, and as they both hold more flow than other options and have light suction it means they don't leak like other options.

you can go in the pool whenever as long as you have a tampon in....

but technically, you cant menstruate while you're in the water, as in like no blood can come out while you are submerged.. though before and after you're in the water, it definitely can.

Sure but use enough so you don´t leak into the water. Tampon+pad is something you can use and change right before you go in and right after you get out.

No. A period is a part of life and shouldn't stop you from regular activity.

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.

Some species of shark can detect 1 part of blood in 100,000,000 parts of water.


If you use a tampon can sharks smell your blood during your period while you are at the beach?

Sharks aren't likely to be somewhere that you're swimming, but they can smell even the smallest trace of blood in the water. Sharks are unlikely to come and kill you if you go swimming on your period using tampons. This is largely a moot point, just don't go swimming with sharks.
