i mean isnt that wat its there for? its cuz every time she gets her period she makes me go and take my kid sister for her swimming lesson. which is really annoying, cuz i have things to do too. and what if i wanted to go swimming or something, i would like to know the answer to this too.

whether or not it affect and if it will leak through the tampon? she is worried that it might and fill the pool lol. but im like thats what there there for. and she goes people just wear them so u cant see the pad. ok wat the....

i mean she should at least know. i dont think it says on the packets anyway. but yeah.

will it leak through if a tampon is on or are they designed for that purpose ( to wear to pool, party etc)

?? thanks for answers.

Answer 1

Yes you can wear a tampon in the pool.  Tampons were designed as a comfortable way to provide protection for women so they can continue to perform daily activies without worrying about leaking.  Plus they are much more comfortable than a pad.

Also every box of tampons I have seen has either said on the box or on the paper inside that tell you what you can do with the use of a tampon including swimming.

Another bit of knowledge for you, generally speaking water somehow seems to stop/slow down the flow of a cycle so if you are swimming or in the bath you gennerally don't have any issues with "leaking"  even if you don't have any protection on at all.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Yes you can

Answer 3

absolutely, i always wear them during practices, you are supposed to wear them while swimming....

Answer 4

Yes, you can wear a tampon in a pool.  However, some women really don't want to be in a pool during that week, if you know what I mean.  They'd feel bloated and crampy, with mood swings - add a swimsuit to the mix and you have a disaster!

I wouldn't mess with her reasoning she gave, though.  It might not be the true answer, but it basically boils down to "I don't want to!" and you have to accept that.  If you want to point out an ad or something that says she can swim with one, just don't do it as she's telling you to take your sis to the pool, lol.

Answer 5

If its inserted properly there shouldnt be a problem..

or maybe your mum doesnt like wearing them its perfectly understandable.

but yes they can go in water

Answer 6

It won't leak if you don't wear it over time. Follow the instructions and how many hours you can wear for it. It's safe to wear to the pool and party.

By the way, actually your period won't flow out when you're in the water, caused by the water pressure. But once you got up from the water quickly rush to the bathroom.

Answer 7

Yes, you can. But you can't wear a pad. And DON'T BELIEVE THE LIE THAT YOUR PERIOD STOPS IN WATER. It doesn't. You DO need to wear a tampon.

Answer 8

Of course you can. But make sure it is in properly, like all of the way in, or it will get wet and slide out. I wear them all of the time while swimming or jogging.
