okay, i use tampons during my period, but im nervous to go swimming with them in. Im afraid the water will soak the string, making the blood travel out trhough the tampon string. Does this happen or am i worrying for nothing?
hollywood_xo answered Sunday September 4 2005, 11:08 pm: don't worry about it! you can definately swim with a tampon in, the only way it'll leak is if it's been in too long, just like any other time. the water has no effect on it leaking.

frenchy answered Thursday August 18 2005, 10:20 pm: hey! theres nothing to worry about, believe me, i've done it before. cause when you're in water, the blood flow stops. so no blood cmoes out at all. the string doesnt soak or anything like that, its safe. just make sure the string stays where its supposed to be, and nobody will know anything :) hope this helped, of you have more questions leave a message in my inbox. peace and love, xoxo [ frenchy's advice column | Ask frenchy A Question ]

CrystalRenee06 answered Thursday August 18 2005, 2:55 pm: Tampons are meant to hold the blood in. If you wear them for a long period of time, then yes it will leak. But you can go swimming with a tampon in, it will not leak. You have nothing to worry about...! Your worrying for nothing!! [ CrystalRenee06's advice column | Ask CrystalRenee06 A Question ]
emmii answered Thursday August 18 2005, 12:09 pm: no! dont worry, that would never happen... that would take away the whole purpose of wearing tampons in the water instead of pads! your fine!!
mrs_radcliffe answered Thursday August 18 2005, 4:42 am: DONT worry! if you have it in properly and it doesnt run usuallly then you will be fine just make sure you bring a couple just in case but if that you'll be fine.

brunettecutie answered Thursday August 18 2005, 3:57 am: well when you wear a tampon in the pool it doesn't come out so dont worry about it. usually when you get in there you usually dont even feel the tampon in there. when your in the water nothing will happen to it.
<3,
ask me anything,

xcheerbabex108 answered Wednesday August 17 2005, 10:19 pm: You are just worrying. I was a little nervous when I started swimming with tampons in, but the blood stops when your in the water anyhow. The water will get the string wet, but it won't ruin the tampon. Just make sure you take your tampon out after swimming.
xXxpinky615xXx answered Wednesday August 17 2005, 8:59 pm: You can swim with tampons. That's pretty much the whole point of tampons so you could swim with them and be more comfortable. What you should do, if you have a light flow, wear a regular tampon. If you have a regular flow, wear a heavy tampon. And if you have a heavy flow, wear a heavy tampon but change it every 2-3 hours or so to be on the safe side. You should be fine if you do that. Much luck.
