NEVER wear tampons when not menstruating - it's not safe and no need.
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!
Im 14 and I have my period, but its not the time of the month yet. Im going away in about 2 weeks, and Im really scared that I'll get it while Im away and I wouldn t be able to go in the beach/pool. How do I get my period faster? And another question is , if I end up getting my period during the vacation, can I go in the water with it? And are there any hacks or tips you have for periods? Also, I don t wear tampons, I only wear the pads.
No, it's not bad to use a tampon in the pool for the first time - if you choose to use tampons then there'd have to be a first time. You may want to consider menstrual cups instead of tampons as they're safer so you can wear them for longer and with light flow, plus they don't leak like tampons. If you do use tampons just make sure to use correct absorbency for your flow and change before the pool.
To get in the pool on your period you can use any of the following:TamponsSoft tamponsMenstrual spongeDiaphragmSoftcupMenstrual cup Menstrual cups are the best option because unlike tampons they can be worn even when your flow is light and for up to 12 hours without any health risks, also they don't increase cramps, have anything showing outside your body, absorb water, or leak like tampons and other options can.
Yes, it's okay to go in a pool on your period if you have a tampon.You can also use other internal menstrual products while on your period in order to go swimming, for example softcups or menstrual cups - cups are safer than tampons and menstrual cups are a lot more convenient as well as reliable so are a better option than tampons. If you do use tampons be sure to use correct absorbency, time it so you can insert a fresh tampon before swimming, and have a pad on hand ready for when you get out of the water to change into or use as back-up to the tampon.
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.
You cannot do this, it would be embarrassing for you, so wear a tampon, or stay out of the pool.
Well I know that you can swim in swimming pools on your period because last month I went on a holiday for a week and that week I had mine, I didn't wear pads or tampons and I had fun the whole day. Nothing leaked, but I wore and underwear and then swimming shorts on top.trust me I took a risk and I'm 12. I was nervous. I kept asking questions but people said that you have to wear a tampon. Some people are not comfortable with wearing tampons. So anyway have fun!
No.
you cant swim with pads its gross and blood would go all over the pool and it would look horrible and be very messy. you can use tampons though and no blood would go into the pool
Cause they're made to absorb moisture.
Nothing... You should just wear a Tampon when you go swimming.
