Is there another way to go swimming without .. ?

Question

okkay , it mite be embarassing but my friend said that she has her period now . and that she wants to go swimming tomorrow . she uses pads but they 'll just soak up the water in the pool , BUT she doesnt want to use a tampon . since she never tried it before , nor does she want too . since you could catch a disease ? called TSS .

Is there another way that she could go swimming ? and at the same time dont let her period bleed in the pool ?

Answer 1

tampoons dont do that...use them all the time

and when i go swimming i use them..or she could just wait 4 days til shes done

Answer 2

DO NOT use a pad in the pool!  ew

But, you do not bleed in the pool because of the water pressure.  Be careful when getting out though, because the blood will run after.

Answer 3

Tell her that her period is made up of blood and tissues that her body no longer requires. It is called HUMAN BODY WASTE. It is considered a bio-hazard and a contaminate. Also, it is illegal to intentionally contaminate a public facility.

From the number of times that this question has been asked on here, apparently their own selfish wants are more important than the public's. The next time you're at the pool, take a look around at all the other self-centered young girls and wonder how many of them are also free-flowing in the pool. Maybe you should call the pool ahead of time and warn them that they may need to add extra chemicals to counteract the contamination. Sure, it may cause more skin and eye irritations, but who cares as long as these little girls get what they want.

Answer 4

a disease from tampons is very very very rare and is only caused when a person fail to change it or forgets it's in there. If they caused disease routinely they would not be for sale in every pharmacy. Use a tampon carefully reading the instructions and use a little vaseline or lubricant. It's OK.

Answer 5

Tell your friend to be fair and sensible for the sake of thousands of others who will be using the public  pool, too.

Surely there must be other exciting, enjoyable things to do over the next several days? Most pools are already polluted with dirt, lots of sweat, naughty boys' urine, etc but that shouldnt mean girls must make it, much worse. Thats how some poor kids fall sick after swimming at some pools.

If too many youngsters misuse pools, there will surely come a time when the entrance fees will be raised due to frequent maintenance, or they decide to close down pools for children!. Imagine how wonderful life could be if young boys and girls would be a little considerate and civic-conscious. So lets help society to enjoy clean and  frequent  swims at public pools.
