Period


Question Posted Saturday July 28 2007, 11:41 pm

I read somewhere that your period stops when you are in the water? I have a very light period, so will this be true? I HATE using tampons because theyy hurt((hence my other question)) so I am just wondering if this is true or not.

in my experience, yes it stopps when in the water... i also dont like tampons, and dont use them, when i go swimming i just go, and dont use anything... every time i go swimming, or even take a shower my period stops, and stars again after im out, it can bea few minutes or sometimes a hour if i am having a light period.. and sence you say you have a verylght period... i think you will be save... butif you go swimming while on yourperiouid just take something just in case... like where a pad until you get in(go to the bathroom and take it off before you getin)and once your done swimming just oto the bathroom and put a new one on.. and maybe take a tampon or 2 just incase

Not to be rude or anything but the other girl was wrong. Don't use pantyliners in the pool, they'll soak up with water and not catch the important stuff.
When you're swimming in water, the only reason really that it seems to 'stop' is because of the water pressure on your body. It may not seem like it but its true. Then, when you get out of the water, usually it starts back up almost a few minutes or so after. So wear a tampon instead of a panty liner, even if you are light.

i've found this to be true, yes.
but if you are afraid of it not stopping in the water or something, you can always use a pantyliner and make sure its not sticking out of your swimsuit anywhere. it should stick pretty well, as long as your not doing hard swimming like swimteam and stuff. after you get out of the water, be sure to get clothes on asap, and if possible a pad too.

No this is not true, your periods will not stop while you are in water, if you have light periods it is possible that it will be less visible. but they do not stop when you are in water.

Well, I have tried going swimming while on my period, and the blood doesn't come out even if I didn't use a tampon, so yes, you can do that. Just make sure you change into regular clothes and get a pad as soon as possible after you get out of the water.
