Every woman will one day mourn bathing because of her period. Worse, some teenage girls will even be anxious to see their periods appear during a trip to the swimming pool. A feminine phenomenon yet natural and very normal. Fortunately, the menstrual swimsuit allows you to appreciate the joys of water... Even during your week!
Can we swim during menstruation?
There is no contraindication to bathing during menstruation. Except in the postpartum period , just after childbirth, when certain recommendations are issued. During regular periods, nothing prevents you (other than discomfort) from enjoying the water. Moreover, physical activity during menstruation would help reduce uterine pain such as menstrual cramps and would be good for mood. Another good reason not to deprive yourself of swimming or your favorite water sport!
Hygienic management of menstruation during swimming
The menstrual swimsuit can be used in duo with a tampon or, even better, a reusable menstrual cup. Ideal duo during a heavy menstrual flow in the middle of the menstrual cycle. The woman who wears it will thus make sure to considerably reduce the risk of leaks. The menstrual swimsuit will collect excess blood from the menstrual cup (or tampon). At the end of menstruation, when the bleeding is light, only the swimsuit can provide the entire protection.
Summer, the pool season par excellence, only lasts a few months in Quebec. It would be a shame to let your period make you lose several weeks... To your menstrual swimsuits!
