You need to use internal sanitary products so blood doesn't get in the pool...TamponsSoft tamponsSpongesSoftcupsDiaphragmsMenstrual cupsAlthough many women use tampons the best option would be menstrual cups as they are safer and more hygienic than tampons, for swimming specifically they are best as they can be worn even with light flow, don't increase cramps, don't absorb water, nothing shows outside the body, and they don't leak like other options.


Can tampons leak?

Yes, tampons commonly leak.Tampons can only hold so much flow and once they are full they will leak, this is why you use appropriate absorbency and change often to try to prevent leaking. On heavy days most people who use tampons will also use pads or period underwear as back-up to deal with tampons leaking.If concerned about leaking you may want to consider menstrual cups which are internal like tampons but hold more and have light suction do don't leak like tampons.


While a tampon is in use while you are in a pool could you leak while swimming?

It is possible to leak when using tampons. Tampons can only hold so much, so if you are going to go swimming be sure to use correct absorbency for your flow - DO NOT use higher absorbency thinking it would give you better protection, this would just be uncomfortable and increase TSS risk. time it so that you can insert a fresh tampon just before going in the pool and you'll be fine. In future consider options like menstrual cups which are internal like tampons but better for swimming as they hold more and have light suction so don't leak like tampons, nothing shows outside your body, they can be worn with even light flow, they don't absorb water, and they don't increase cramps as tampons can.

Does felt absorb water?

No not really moisture will pool on the surface of wool felt before soaking in but the actual wool will not absorb the moisture, like when you wash your hair. Hope this helps Andie- Americanfeltandcraft.com


When you use tampons is it likely for you not to get wet?

If by 'wet' you mean producing vaginal discharge, then yes. Tampons don't just absorb blood they also absorb vaginal discharge so make the vagina dry, this is one factor to TSS: tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing splitting and ulceration that allows TSST-1 toxins responsible for TSS direct route into your bloodstream.
