my period


Question Posted Thursday June 9 2005, 6:15 pm

Does anyone think it would be okay to go swimming on your period, and without wearing a tampon? My mom said I have to wai till I'm about 15, and I'm a couple of years younger. What should I do??!!! And if so, what do i do after i get out of the pool?!

noo! not a good idea, water does not stop your period no matter what anyone says. there's a chance you won't bleed while you're in there but most likely you will. i dont see why you have to wait until you are 15 to use a tampon, just tell your mom that you will read the directions carefully!

no dont do that...you should wear a tampon and i dont really know why you would have to be 15...they make some smaller then others...just find some that are comfortable with you, but dont go swimming without one...

It might not be okay to go swimming without a tampon while on your period. You might get lucky and be fine, but more than likely - you won't. Being in the water doesn't stop your period, and you may end up with an embarassing situation or you'll need to invest in a new bathing suit. I suggest wearing a tampon, or not going swimming at all. I can't understand why your mother won't allow you to, but you should talk to her about it. At a young age, it's true, you probably shouldn't be using tampons on a regular basis, but it shouldn't be an enormous problem to only use them to go swimming. If she educates you properly on using tampons, you should be just fine. Talk to her.

That wouldn't be a good idea to go swimming while you're on your period without the use of protection, in this case a tampon. You don't have to be 15 years old in order to start using tampons. Talk to your mom and tell her that you want to swim and that you need to wear a tampon. If she doesn't want you to use one, then I would still wear one if I were you. Once you get out of the pool, just change your tampon.

ok. ew. just think about it. if you're bleeding, and it gets in the water, it could be seriously bad. not to mention embarrasing. plus i know i wouldn't want to swim in someone's blood. if you're really desperate to go swimming, when you're not on your period start practicing with tampons.
