Do you need to wear a different tampon while swimming?


Question Posted Tuesday June 15 2010, 10:01 pm

Totally going to the beach tomorrow with my family but I'm on my period. I'm not going to tell my parents that though because I love the beach.

Do I wear a tampon in the water then?

Mom told me last year sometime that water stops you from bleeding. Like your period stops while you're in the water or whatever. Does that still mean I need a tampon to go swimming?

And is there a good tampon to use for swimming because I've never used tampons before! hah.

thanksss

While you're in the water, you won't bleed. However, as soon as you get out, you will and that could result in an embarassing situation.

It is best to use a tampon. Choose ones with an applicator as these are easier to use, especially for the first time. Tampax are a pretty reliable brand and have a big range. If you're looking for something discreet and easy to use then I'd reccomend Tampax Pearl.

Make sure you relax and follow the instructions carefully. Tampons can be tricky to use at first but once you get the hang of them, you should find them quick, easy and comfortable.

water definitely does not stop you from bleeding. You will definitely need to wear a tampon.

As for a specific kind, it doesn't really matter. I like Tampax pearl just because they are easy to put in, and they have a braided string that helps prevent leaks. Just be sure not to leave it in any longer than 6-8 hours.

Yes, water usually stops the blood from coming out. But I'm pretty sure you'll want to get out of the water at some points & just sit on the beach or something. So my best suggestion would be to, wear a tampon in the water, so you won't have to worry about anything.


Hope I helped . (:
