Is it OK to swim with a tampon inside?

Due to physiological reasons, women will have menstruation once a month. This is a normal reaction of the body. During menstruation, sanitary products are generally used. Not only sanitary napkins but also tampons can be used. The effects of these two things are the same, but you need to pay attention to the method when using them. So, is it okay to swim with a built-in tampon? Let’s take a look at it below.

The female vagina has self-cleaning and natural defense functions. When the body's resistance is normal, these bacteria will not cause trouble to women. Although the female vagina itself has self-cleaning and natural defense functions, women's resistance is relatively weakened before menstruation. If women do not pay enough attention to protecting themselves at this time and swim in unclean swimming pools, the water containing pathogenic microorganisms can "brazenly" enter reproductive organs such as the vagina, uterus and fallopian tubes, causing gynecological diseases such as bacterial vaginitis and salpingitis.

Some women think that as long as they wear an internal tampon, they can still swim during their period. An internal tampon is a sanitary napkin placed inside the vagina to absorb menstrual blood directly inside the body. It is made of a piece of safe and hygienic pure white cotton wool that is tightly compressed and has a very strong absorbent capacity. Once it comes into contact with menstrual blood, it will quickly and evenly expand radially in all directions, gently clinging to the vaginal wall, and can absorb all menstrual blood inside the body. In fact, this method is not advisable. Menstrual blood is a good breeding ground for bacteria. Moreover, the cervix is ​​open during menstruation. When the internal tampon is soaked by water, bacteria can easily enter the body through the cotton layer that absorbs menstrual blood and cause reproductive system infection.

Through the above introduction, we now know whether it is okay to swim with an internal tampon. We should also pay attention to the method when using it in daily life. In addition, women should pay attention to prevent being injured or catching a cold during menstruation, and also pay attention to their daily diet. Rest is especially important for female friends.
