This person advised that you may want to stay out of the ocean. I can tell you that this is one of the biggest myths out there about menstruation and the ocean. You'll be fine and like the other posters indicated you can leave your tampon in or leave it out while swimming in the ocean. Change it once you have stopped swimming.

sisak1069 answered Monday July 9 2007, 3:04 pm: yeah you can but it might make it easier if you dont wear one at all because in the water your period stops. But if you do decide to wear one you should probobly change it when you get out because it will be all wet from the water. [ sisak1069's advice column | Ask sisak1069 A Question ]

and you can keep a tampon in for 8 hours, so depending on the flow is when you could change it [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
