No, your period doesn't stop in water - this is a common myth. Menstruation can sometimes appear to stop in water because when light what little blood leaves your body is diluted by the water, but it doesn't stop and heavier flow will be noticed. If you want to go in the bath you can do so at any time, but if wanting to go in the water to swim you need to use internal menstrual products such as tampons, softcups, diaphragms, or menstrual cups.

The water pressure while you are swimming tends to hold in the menstrual flow. As soon as you exit the pool, however, you will notice the flow beginning again, so it is better to wear a tampon during swimming. So your period doesn't stop--it is not exiting the vagina while you are in the water.

Yes. It will arrive when it arrives. Generally though when wearing 'appropriate' swimwear (full suits, not bacini sets) it shouldn't cause a real problem. It is however advisable in the interest of public safety to avoid public swimming areas at that 'time of the month' due to risk of infection. However this is disputed.

Unfortunately, when you go swimming, your period will not stop. It continues and if you are not using a tampon, you will notice blood flowing when you leave the pool. In the past, many women avoided the pool during their periods for this reason.

yes, if your worried about the blood coming out as you swim, which rarely happens because of the force of the water, put a cloth in your swimming costume and that should make you feel comfortable, i know this from personal experience

well, yes as long as you put on a tampon, but you may not want to. first, tampons hurt. second, when you are on your period your gut looks bigger than it really is.

Well, I am a swimmer of a team and all I know is, that when you get into the water, your period stops. I was on my period once, and when I got into the water it stopped. Hope that helped!

Tampons and swimming?

Tampons and swimming? Absolutely! Tampons are a great option for women who want to swim during their period. Unlike pads, tampons are discreet and won't get in the way of your workout or beach day. They are designated to be inserted into the vagina to absorb menstrual blood, allowing you to move freely in the water without any worry. When it comes to choosing the right tampon for swimming, I highly recommend Sirona Tampons.
