Question

Can u swim when your on your period?

Answer 1

of course! but you have to wear a tampon - definitely not a pad! and sometimes you have to change your tampon more often when your swimming than normal, but you can still swim. i had that same worry too!  

Answer 2

Absolutely. Learn to wear tampons and be sure the string is tucked in or OMG!

Answer 3

yes, if you wear a tampon

Answer 4

Its called TAMPON!  

Answer 5

I was a competitive swimmer in high school and college (back in the stone ages :))  You don't get time off from practice just because you're having your period so you learn to use tampons.  It takes some practice, but even on the heaviest days, I was still able to workout and the physical exercise, in my opinion, made the cramping almost non-existent.  

Answer 6

yes you can just wear a tampon and you are good to go

Answer 7

as the answers above - yes you can, wear a tampon & make sure the string is out of sight.

It's a personal preference thing though - I never feel entirely comfortable swimming on a "heavy" day, and I always go to the bathroom and change it as soon as I can after I get out of the pool.

Answer 8

Yeah just wear a tampon and you're good to go =)
