Is it okay to use tampons while swimming during menstruation?

For domestic women, tampons are a new type of innovative menstrual product for women. Few women in our country still use them, but for European and American women, tampons have existed in their lives for a long time. Unlike domestic women who use sanitary napkins, European and American women prefer tampons. This is because tampons are small in size and can help people move better. So do you know if it is okay for women to use tampons while swimming during menstruation?

Can you swim while using a tampon? For most Chinese women, the word tampon may be both familiar and unfamiliar. It is familiar because they have heard of it a long time ago, and it is unfamiliar because they have never used it. In fact, tampons have been widely used by European and American women because of their convenience. Sanitary napkins are not the only option for women during their menstrual period. What's more, it's easy to exercise and swim while using tampons.

Steps to put on a tampon before swimming:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly. When using a tampon while swimming, don't skip washing your hands just because it's troublesome in a public bath.

2. Open the package and gently push the tampon into the vagina. Virgin girls should use tampons with caution because pushing the tampon into the vagina is tighter than in girls. However, if you have already used it, don't have too much mental burden, after all, the vagina is very elastic. If you find it difficult to insert the tampon, you can wait until the menstrual blood flows out before inserting it. There is no discomfort when a tampon is in place, but if you feel severe discomfort, it is best to remove it.

3. The replacement time of tampons should not exceed 6 hours. Staying in the vagina for a long time will cause bacteria to grow in the enclosed space inside the vagina and even cause infection.

Precautions for swimming with tampons:

1. If you happen to be swimming during your first menstruation and the amount of blood is heavy, it is recommended that you do not go swimming.

2. It is recommended that you change the tampon immediately after getting ashore. After all, the tampon has been in contact with water. Replace it in time to avoid unnecessary infection. Swimming time should not exceed one hour.

3. It is recommended that you replace your tampon with a new one before going into the water.

Can women use tampons when swimming during menstruation? Looking at the introduction above, we have learned that tampons are very convenient for women when swimming. Tampons are more convenient for women than sanitary napkins, but everyone should also know that tampons are inserted inside and are prone to bacterial infection. Therefore, women must pay attention to hygiene when using tampons to swim.
