Swimming with my period intrigues me, especially if I can avoid using a tampon. If I choose to swim without using any menstruation products, what can I anticipate? Are there any dangers or problems that I should be mindful of? Are there any other products or techniques that are effective for swimming when a woman is menstruating?
The water’s pressure will reduce your blood flow, and the surrounding water will dilute any blood that does emerge. Additionally, be aware that there’s no ignoring the fact that pools are brimming with bacteria, feces, skin cells, urine, sweat, and other substances. You’re in excellent company! Even with a heavier flow, it won’t be obvious, but I wouldn’t feel safe swimming with the flow on my heaviest day. It won’t resemble a scene from Jaws, for sure!
