I'm afraid to get in the bath! (period)?

Question

I don't want blood gushing out all over the bathtub, should I just not get a bath?!

I really want one to sooth my cramps.

Any soultions?

Or does blood not come out in the bath?

This is my second ever period and I have a heavy flow.

Answer 1

take a shower instead

Answer 2

yea its fine beleive me blood wont come gushing out at all it stops when your in water so you'll be fine its like a temporary bit of relief about the only time when it can stop in the middle but it will start again a little while after you get out but go ahead and yea it helps with camps big time

Answer 3

Use a tampon.  It will absorb the flow while you are in the bath.

Instead of a bath, you could use a hot water bottle.  It works just as well.

Answer 4

Oh seriously it is fine you will come out feeling better its not like the waters going to all turn to blood  

Answer 5

first clean off all the blood then put in a tampon his will keep the blood inside

Answer 6

tub baths are not healthy for women any way, you end up sitting in a tub full of the bacteria that is/was all over your skin...it's how many women get bacterial vaginosis...you should take a nice hot shower, works just as well.

Answer 7

WHEN U BATH BLOOD DOES NOT COME OUT ONLY WHEN U ARE WASHING UNDER SO DON'T WORRY

Answer 8

the only solution i can think of is to try a tampon, if that's not what you want to do just take a hot shower and put a hot compress on your stomach.  

Answer 9

I'm not very experienced with periods but i hav one. It was never a problem for me. I just take baths like normal.  

Answer 10

Yeah, blood comes out while you take a bath. The warm water causes your muscles to relax, which makes more blood come out. Use a tampon or if you're not comfortable with that yet, or you can use one of those hot water bag things on your tummy.

Answer 11

Heating pads work wonders on cramps.

Answer 12

Usually when i take a bath no blood comes out, as a matter of fact i just asked a question on yahoo asking why doesn't blood come out i guess it must be the water! Who knows but if you do bleed its not gonna gush it will just drip like it does when your sitting in the toilet.

Answer 13

The water pressure keeps the blood in as long as you're submerged in the tub, just make sure you don't have use white towel when you get out.  The hot water will help your cramps a lot.  

Answer 14

i know EXACTLY what u mean. i was afraid that when i got in the shower that i would become CARRIE if u know what im talking about. well i had a fairly heavy flow but i waited till it slowed down a litlle and u should make sure that u wipe ur self very throughly. run the water till ur ready to get in and wipe again to make sure u are not still bleeding. if u keep bleeding heavily then WAIT or a shower iz faster. dont worry, ok. if u know for sure that u hav stooped bleeding for at least like 3-4 min than i suggest that u take a quick shower. if u bleed a little in da shower than thats ok. if u need help call ur mom and she tell u what u can do. hope i helped.

Answer 15

Getting in the bath will be fine. The pressure of the water is like a plug. I do it all the time. Just when you get out of the bath tub, make sure you wipe with toilet paper as soon as possibe.  

Answer 16

Wash in the toilet and get rid of the blood, then go inside the bathtub. :D

Answer 17

well i asked my mom about that before she sayes that when you take a bath your peiriod stops for a little bit i just wouldnt take a bath

Answer 18

dont worry. its fine. you normally dont "bleed" as much in water. and who cares if the waters turns a little pink?! its totally fine! dont stress it. good luck!
