Is it true that when you swim and you have a your period blood won't come out?

Answer 1

No, that's not true.

There is nothing about being in water that can stop menstruation, if your flow is light then what little blood leaves your body may be diluted so go unnoticed, however if your flow is heavier both the blood and uterine tissue will be noticed in the water.

To swim during your period you should use one of the following;

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

Menstrual cups are the best option as they are safer and more hygienic than tampons so there is no risk of TSS or vaginal infections, also for swimming menstrual cups are best because unlike tampons they can be worn even with very light flow, they don't increase cramps, they don't absorb water, nothing shows outside of the body, and as menstrual cups hold more plus have light suction they don't leak like tampons or other options.
