Are tampons supposed to be soaking wet when swimming with them in?

Question

i feel so stupid for asking this too :( as i have only swam with a tampon in once, i never did it again...

Answer 1

yes it is normal for them to be wet.

Answer 2

I am using mentrual cups made of silicone. It feels much cleaner to swim with them, because the water does not get to the blood. And yes, Tampons get soaked wet when swimming.

Also cups are better for the environment than tampons and don't dry out your v****a.

Answer 3

It;s ok to swim with tampons! it works for me.  

Answer 4

well it depends if you had you legs wide open alot then its normal. lol

Answer 5

haha it doesnt matter if u swim with one in. and yea its obvs gonna b soaking wet

Answer 6

Depends if you do your Kegel exercises, lol.

They can get wet to a degree, but not necessarily. I'm thinking you didn't insert it far enough.

Answer 7

Yes.  It is unavoidable.  Seems weird, but thats how it works.  They are designed to stop the flow even when saturated.

Answer 8

Its normal to get them wet they still work and they wont fall out! I swim with them in all the time! Its better than the embarrassment!
