What happens if you swim while you have your period?

Question

I want to know what are the effects of swimming with your period. I wanna go swimming and I don't have a lot so yeah.

Answer 1

You can get blood running down your legs, you can stain your suit, and you can really embarrass yourself if you don't wear a tampon so just go ahead and wear a tampon so you won't have to worry about it.

Answer 2

Well nothing would happen but obviously you would need suitable protection eg.Tampons. Swimming is really good during you period especially if you suffer with period pains.

Answer 3

You float.

In other words, no problem.  Of course, you'll want to wear a tampon rather than a pad!

Answer 4

ive tried it once and nothing really happens....but ur swimsuit really can get messed up....its much safer to just use a tampon.

Answer 5

nothing

Answer 6

Nothing happens. Blood will not start gushing down your legs, especially since your period is not heavy. You should be fine.

Answer 7

I did it 2day!!!!!!!!

Nothin happens AT ALL!!

Promise!!!!!!

Answer 8

You get water in your ears.

Answer 9

im a competetive swimmer and i have done this loads of times- just use a tampon but put it in right before you get in the water and replace it as soon as you get out because the pool will make it waterlogged. also double check to make sure the string is not hanging out of the suit. if u dont want to use a tampon no one will notice but your suit will be a mess when you get out...

Answer 10

Just wear a tampon.

My friend went swimming with a pad on and the next thing she knew, it was floating beside her.

Answer 11
