Can I go swimming on my period?!


Question: Can I go swimming on my period?
I just started my period today. It always show up at the wrong time because Im going to kalahari on Sunday. Should I use a tampon? Does it help?

Answers:

Yeah, a tampon is your only choice. Don't be afraid to try them, most girls I'm sure prefer tampons over pads. I suggest trying Tampax Pearl or Kotex, those are popular brands many seem to be satisfied with.



No problem. Use a tampon, and change it when you get out of the water for the day (and after a few hours if you're there all day).

I used to lifeguard, and swimming with a tampon is not a problem, just make sure the string is tucked inside your suit bottoms to avoid a potentially embarrassing moment.



Yes, you can swim with a tampon. Choose the lowest absorbancy tampon to meet your needs to decrease the risk of developing Toxic Shock Syndrome.



Yes, that's what tampons are made for. If you've never used one try it before hand to make sure. And be sure to make sure the string isn't hanging out the bottom of your suit. Have fun!



Yes, as long as you use a tampon. There's no other way to swim unless you use a tampon.

Have fun at Kalahari! It's a sweet place =D



yes you can swim but only if you use a tampon.
