Swimming during your period!?

Of course, you don’t want your period to inhibit you in what you would normally just do. Swimming is a good example of this. Having your period and swimming can go together just fine. Provided you feel like it, of course. There are a number of products on the market that you can use during your period when you want to swim. For example, regular tampons are fine to use while swimming. However, there are a lot of women who do not like swimming with a regular tampon. This may be due to the string, for example. The string allows the tampon to fill with water, for example. Also, some women indicate that they are constantly aware of the string and therefore check all the time whether the string is still inside the panties.

Swimming with a menstrual cup

In addition to the regular tampon, you could also opt for a menstrual cup. The menstrual cup is also perfect for swimming. The cup catches the blood and you don’t have to worry about a string showing. The menstrual cup is also a more environmentally friendly alternative to the regular cotton tampon.

Swimming with a soft tampon

The soft tampon is also ideal for swimming during your period. Beppy’s have no string and mold perfectly to your body. These soft tampons feel very comfortable and you get the idea that you have no tampon in at all.

Swimming is sport and sports can ease stomach cramps

So another reason to just take a dip! Working out stimulates blood circulation in your uterus, which reduces menstrual pain. During exercise, a happiness hormone is released which makes you feel a little better anyway!
