Can I swim when my period comes?

There are many taboos during menstruation. You cannot eat cold, raw, spicy or irritating food. Some people think that swimming is more soothing. Can it be done during menstruation? In fact, swimming itself is good for the body. It can stretch the muscles and bones and promote body metabolism. However, you must take precautions when swimming during menstruation. The water should be clean and not too cold, so as not to cause uterine infection and irritate the body.

You should try to avoid swimming during your menstrual period.

Some female friends still swim during menstruation, which is not a good idea. Although the female vagina itself has self-cleaning and natural defense functions, women's resistance is relatively weakened before menstruation.

Tips 1. Go to the toilet before swimming. This will reduce the chance of bleeding in the water. 2. Dark swimming trunks are always a wise choice. Not only do they look beautiful to wear, they also hide those annoying blood stains. 3. If something doesn’t feel right (like a leak), trust your instincts and get out of the water. 4. Act more naturally. If a leak does occur, there is nothing worse than calling attention to it. Make an excuse to leave and go change your sanitary pad (tampon or menstrual cup). 5. Remember to bring a spare swimsuit in case blood stains get on it (preferably a swimsuit with a long skirt). 6. Don't let your period stop you from swimming. Sometimes exercise can make you feel better. 7. Plan for replacement. If you know you're going to use a bathroom stall that doesn't have a trash can, you can put your used feminine products in a Ziploc bag, then put it in a dark paper bag, and finally throw it in a nearby trash can. 8. Sanitary napkins will absorb water, which may make you embarrassed. 9. Use the thinnest sanitary napkin to reduce bulges and edge lines. 10. To prevent the tampon from hanging outside, you can cut off a part of it appropriately, so that it will appear more concealed.
