GIRLS, do you go SWIMMING during your PERIOD?

no, i dont go out for swimming if i have a period but i do take a bath everyday even i have monthly period.. i just dont go swimming because i dont want to see a bloody swimming pool.. LOL

i take a bath, sometimes i still bleed in there, but its just too soothing that i dont wanna get out. during this time of month my muscles in every part of my body get so tense and i lose my temper and have headaches and lower back and stomach cramps - all of that seems to go away when i take a warm bath. then when i get out i usually feel so much more revived. they say being immersed in water slows the flow of blood in your system, but i dont think its true with me.

No I don't swim while I am menstrating. Although like some of the others have probably stated before me that yo can use a tampon and swim. They are even a new tampon out for girls that do sports such as swimming and other things that way they get better coverage. I have heard though that it is good and relaxing and can relieve some severe cramping being in the water.

I tend to avoid swimming but its mainly becuase i feel sooo crappy. But if I cannot avoid I make sure i wear a tampon and not an ordinary sanitary napkin. Then im much more secure. But i rush for the changing room immediately. However I will avoid going in the pool on the first day as i have a very heavy flow on that day

I know that you are able to do so, and it is totally safe when you use tampons, but I could never bring myself to swim while having my period, particularly in a pool of any sort. I don't know, I've always had a fear that something will go wrong and I'll end up being the reason they evacuate the pool.. :P

no i don't go swimming whenever i have my monthly period because i feel so uncomfortable and if you will be in the pool with blood its too chaotic :)

No, I never and will never go swimming when I'm having my period. I know you can use tampons but I just don't feel comfortable or secure using it. What if there's a leak?

i dont like to swim or go into water during my periods. i hate it. its very uncomfortable and lot of uneasiness.

No! it eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww....

Nope! i find it too messy..

I am not girl but you can use tampons.

that's a no no for me.

Yep I do and I wear tampons. I had a friend that was scared to try thinking that it may slip out or something, but nothing like that happens. Its just like normal swimming.
