Can I go swimming? (period)!


Question: Can I go swimming!? (period)
I asked this question last night, but I just wanted to ask it again to get a couple more opinions!. My daughter started her first period 4 days ago, and her friends invited her to go swimming at this lake!. She really wants go and I was wondering if it is ok to go swimming with her period!. She will not be wearing a tampon!. -Marty Jean BakerWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
you cant have your period while in the water due to presure!.!.!.but ask soon as she comes out it will happen!. Sorry but the only option really is to wear a tompon!. My friend wore a pad but thats really not the right ay to go!. talk to her and ask her iff hse wants to try a tamponWww@Answer-Health@Com

id suggest wearing a tampon to go swimming otherwise it could get alittle embarassing!. but if it started 4 days ago, then it should be almost done with and she shouldn't be flowing that heavily!. but i would suggest that as soon as she gets out of the lake she go right inside and put on a pad, or tampon!. also, if she wears a tampon, she should change it right away after getting out of the lake!.!.!.!.!. im thinking that the lake water will get absorbed, not alot, just alittle, in the tip of the tampon, and changing it will take out the lake water!. hope this helped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you might want to consider letting her wear one go over with her how to do it and make sure she understands how to do it right and the risks!. If she has started her period she's probably old enough to understand!. Because if she doesn't wear one that can lead to an embarrasing moment and then shell say it's your fault because u didn't let her wear one!. I know your scared of letting her wear one but it's better to trust her than letting her not wear one and not being able to go in water everytime she's on her period that would suck!. She might mess up a few times but tell her just relax you'll eventually get it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Actually, your period stops when you're in the water!. A tampon would be practical for her when she gets in and is out of the water, just so nothing leaks between then!. However after 4 days it's usually pretty light, so a tampon may not even be necessary!. She'll have to change right after she gets out of the water though, just in case, and put on a pad to avoid any mess!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

She MUST wear a tampon, no matter how light her period is!.

Tampax pearl lites are excellent to start with!.

No matter what is said, your period DOES NOT stop in water, it WILL still flow into the water and it will end up running down her leg!. It only LOOKS like it stops but in reality it just gets washed away by the water!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

she will be fine in the water, but once she gets out she needs to RUN to the bathroom and put on a pad!. very stressful!!! i would just tell her to put on her bathing suit, put a pad like the bathing suit was her underwear, put some soffe/shorts on over and just sun bathe so shes not embarassed!.

This was a little weird to read, but i'm guessing she could!.!.people do a lot of nasty stuff in lakes!.!.!.so, I wouldn't worry about it!.!.

Just tell her to get out if she needs to!.!.

(It looks like I'm the only guy to answer this question) lolWww@Answer-Health@Com

i think it would b ok to wear a pad since its in a lake and since her flow is getting lighter it might even b gone by that time!. but next time just let her wear tampons!. its not like shell have to wear it every dayWww@Answer-Health@Com

she should wear a tampon!. but if its in a lake!.!.!.!.!.then i guess she can just bleed in the lake =] if she was in a pool though, she'd HAVE to wear a tampon!. god blessWww@Answer-Health@Com

I wouldnt go without a tampon!.!.!.you cant wear a pad in the water, and going without protection could turn out horrible embarrassing for her!.
