Chances of leaking in the water while wearing a tampon, also using them correctly such as by inserting a fresh tampon before swimming and using correct absorbency, is fairly low but still possible. If worried you may want to consider using a menstrual cup, these are internal like tampons but hold far more than tampons and have light suction so don't leak like tampons.

If you wear a tampon when you go swimming when you come out of the water will it still absorb the blood?

Answer Yes; there is nothing inherently wrong with wearing a tampon while you're swimming. It's possible (but unlikely) that if you are doing highly active things in the swimming pool and your bathing suit does not fit properly, you may have some water seep into your vaginal cavity and it will be absorbed by the tampon. The chances that the amount of water that the tampon absorbs would be enough to keep it from absorbing blood are incredibly small and you should not have to worry about it. I would check/change your tampon at least two hours after getting out of the pool just to be on the safe side; however, if you are in a social situation (such as a pool party) then put in a fresh one just before the party and you shouldn't have to worry about it too much. Bringing a spare is always a good idea, but your tampon will still work after getting in and out of the pool. Hope that answers your question! Answer On tampon packets and instructions, it generally says to put a new one in before swimming and put a new one in after swimming


Does your peirod stop when you get in the pool?

No - the blood moves by capillary action, assisted by mucous, and gravity. When you swim, you can use a tampon and it will not get wet easily due to trapped air and the way the labia are pressed against the vulva by a snug suit. Without a tampon, the blood can flow out and stain your suit. A heavy flow could even be seen in clear water. However, your vagina does not fill with water - it is compressed, so the walls touch each other, whether you're in the water or not.

How long does a tampon last long in the water?

A tampon lasts in the water about the same as when you're not in the water, although there is a risk of water getting into the tampon for the most part the vaginal walls close around the tampon to prevent this from happening. Tampons need to be changed every 4-6 hours, if water gets to the tampon they won't last as long but there's no way of knowing when they will leak as it depends on how much water gets to the tampon. If concerned try menstrual cups instead, they last up to 12 hours.


What do you do if you have swimming and you have your periode?

Just put a tampon in. The water won't affect it.


What happens to a tampon when you are swimming?

For the most part nothing happens, the tampon will work just as it would normally. However it is possible for water to get into your vagina so be absorbed by the tampon, if this happens then the tampon may fill with water so make it a little more uncomfortable and more likely to leak. If concerned try wearing tampons in the bath to see how they work out, or consider menstrual cups which don't absorb water or leak like tampons.

Is it all right to take a bath without wearing a tampon when you have your period?

Yes, it's fine to take a bath on your period without using a tampon. If you don't use a tampon or other internal sanitary product like a menstrual cup or softcup then some menstrual blood may go into the bath water, most of the blood would be diluted by the water so you may not even notice, but even if you do it's only blood. The idea that menstrual flow is somehow dirty or gross is a very old-fashioned false idea, your menstrual flow is little different to the discharge that leaves your vagina throughout the rest of your menstrual cycle - you don't mind bathing any other time, right?


When you go swimming when you are on your period do you have to were a tampon?

To swim on your period you need to use one of the following:TamponsSoft tamponsMenstrual spongesMenstrual cupsDiaphragmsSoftcupsBlood does NOT stop flowing in the water, this is a myth - your uterus does not have water-seeking technology so it will not know you'e in the water to stop bleeding - if your flow is light what little blood that leaves your body may be diluted in the water so go unnoticed, but heavier bleeding and uterine tissue will be noticed. You also cannot wear pads in the water because the blood won't flow down into the pad, even if it did the pad would be saturated with water so be unable to absorb the blood, disposable pads will also potentially fall apart or come unstuck.


Why did God turn the water into blood in Egypt?

Can a tampon fall out in the water?

It's VERY unlikely that a tampon would fall out - tampons are held in place by the vaginal muscles, the vaginal walls also close around the tampon which help keep it in place - if a tampon did fall out of your vagina when using the bathroom you should see your doctor as there is a problem with vaginal muscle tone. If a tampon was to fall out then you would unfortunately have to scoop it out to throw it in the bin.
