How many tampons does it take to drain a pool?

Tampons aren't going to be used to drain a pool, obviously. Tampons are for managing menstrual flow, not for draining a swimming pool. If you were wanting to guess how many tampons would be needed, well that would depend on the pool size and the tampon absorbency!

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.

No, it continues pretty much constantly. Most women wear tampons when they go swimming, as the pads absorb water and get really heavy and messy.


Does the blood from your period blend with pool water?

Yes, to a degree the blood from your period will blend with pool water - like it would when you're in the bath - but of course it may be noticed, and pieces of uterine lining will not blend with pool water. Although menstrual flow is not dirty it's not hygienic or pleasant for other people to have to be swimming in your menstrual flow, so always use menstrual products like cups or tampons in the pool when you're on your period.


Are tampons only supposed to be worn in the water or do I have to wear pads?

Tampons can be worn anytime you have sufficient flow - except overnight while sleeping, or if you have a vaginal infection. You cannot wear pads for swimming as the blood won't flow down to the pad, the pad would be saturated with water so unable to absorb blood, plus the pad would come off.To swim on your period you can use tampons, soft tampons, menstrual sponges, menstrual cups, diaphragms, or softcups - menstrual cups are by far the best option, in general and for swimming.
