it is a complete lie.
the water will stop it a little bit, so you could go swimming without a tampon on the last day of your period when it is really light, but anytime before that and you're going to get blood everywhere. Using pads in the water does not work either.
Use a tampon. Trust me they make life easier. I was scared at first to use them, but once i did I was amazed at how much easier having my period was. Now, with tamposn its no big deal and I feel a lot better cuz i dont have ot worry about leaks.

Most people think it's true because they think that water pressure stops your period - but whether or not it does, like I said before, you'd start bleeding DIRECTLY after getting out of the water. (I'm assuming you want to go swimming or something of the such?)
