Can you swim with a tampon in?

Question

I need to go swimming tomorrow and it will be embarassing with all my friends, so can you?

Answer 1

Yes...but make sure you cut the string first so that it doesn't cut off your circulation. Wait a minute...I change my mind. I don't recommend it. Cramps are bad when swimming. God I hope they have chlorine in there.

Answer 2

Yes. Just make sure you use a dark towel to dry off and remove it after you get out of the pool (like in the change room while changing into dry clothes), because it will leak, guarenteed. Make sure you have a pad for afterwards.

Answer 3

Yes, you can.

Answer 4

yes. that's one of the reason's they're made for.

Answer 5

yes you can that's why they make them so us girls came have fun!

Answer 6

Yes.  You definitely don't want to swim with a pad in your suit, especially not one with wings. It will swell like a diaper and lose its adhesion to your suit.

Answer 7

Okay.  Just to correct a few misconceptions.

Never cut the string off of a tampon.  It will be a trial to remove the tampon at the appropriate time.

You should change the tampon immediately after getting out of the pool because it MAY leak due to the water that it will absorb while you are swimming.

Water does NOT stop your period.  No matter what, you're going to have it.

Never wear a pad in a pool.  It does absolutely nothing to contain your flow and will look ridiculous.

Wear a tampon, have fun, and don't worry about it!

Answer 8

YES!

...thank god for tampons!!!

Answer 9

yep, you sure. can I've been swimming for years and their has never been a day when I've had to sit out lol....And someone said cut the string. DONT do that. That would not make getting it out very enjoyable.  But everyone knows that your period stops in water so the tampon is merely going to catch the blood from before and after you get of the water. You'll forget you even have (one) on.

Have fun in the pool:)
