Swimming whilst on your period. Would you? Do you?

Same as Bonnie, yes I do.

Would you?

I'm glad you said that!

I don't go proper swimming ever but quite happily go holiday swimming (pool/sea) when on my period.

Um, why wouldn't you?

I don't have periods but yeah, I used to. With a tampon, obvs.

No, but only because I don’t use tampons.

No, not normally, but I was just sat here thinking that there is actually no reason I shouldn't. I think I just was using it as an excuse not to go!

Same as footlong I'm not a regular swimmer but I have done on holiday with no bother.

I have no real reason other than I just don't! But think I will start. It will probably help with my horrendous bloating as well!

Of course.

I guess my question should be on the condition that the person in question is wearing some kind of internal device

I also don't have periods, but used to with a tampon.

I remember at school my PE teacher wouldn't let girls off swimming with the period excuse because 'water stops the flow of blood.' But quite genuinely some girls would be on, and wouldn't be used to using tampons and her style was that after every activity she would make us climb out and line up for ages before getting in again to do the next thing. I think quite rightly some parents went nuts at her.

I wouldn't dare. TMI since having H they've become ever so heavy and I couldn't risk it

NOOOOOOOO! Please don't, I don't want to be swimming among your eggs!! ?

Umm blood actually Funky! Eggs mucus is about 14 days before the period.

Yes I do with tampon but not for long as paranoid about leakage. Not that I have ever leaked! And no Aqua Exercise classes.

Hahaha.

This did make me laugh!

Haven't had periods in so many years, but can't recall if I've ever been while having them!
I'd imagine with a tampon I would have at some point.

Yes, obvs with a tampon.

At school, if a girl said she couldn't swim, due to AF, our coach would check ? She'd also keep note, so she "knew" when you'd be on next, so you couldn't keep using it as an excuse. We were 12/13, most of the girls never used tampons.

Same as this. I used to but even with tampons now I couldn't risk it.

How? would you have to show a dirty towel? a little clot? a pair of period knickers? ;o)

What, like a mooncup?

Probably being dim, but can't work out what AF is, enlighten me please

View quoted message

AF = Aunt Flo = slang for period. It's popular on a lot of the baby-related forum, where they basically have their own special language!

She'd want to see "proof", so a used pad.

I'm not a great lover of swimming but do on holiday.

Thank you, I knew Aunt Flo, but never heard it abbreviated

Heavy flow on periods is something every woman struggles in the initial or later days of a period. While some women are not troubled by this, others are continually struggling to find ways to have comfortable and leak-free periods. There are a lot of options available such as pads, menstrual cups, and tampons. For making your periods more comfortable, you can opt for the tampons having higher absorbency to prevent leaks and stains on the periods.

I remember that your period in my vacations in Amsterdan but since we were in a bus rental amsterdam you control the most comfortable periods it is not easy, you can opt for the buffers that have a greater absorption to avoid leaks and stains in the periods.
