Can I use tampons while swimming during my period?

Swimming is a sport that everyone likes very much, because swimming not only helps women shape their body, but also helps women lose weight, so it is popular with everyone. Summer is a hot season, and everyone likes to relieve the heat of the body by swimming, but it is not suitable for women to go into the water during their menstrual period, because water can infect women's private parts through sanitary napkins. Tampons are a new type of menstrual product for women. Do you know that you can use tampons when swimming during your menstrual period?

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.

Although tampons allow women to swim during their menstrual period, everyone should also pay attention to the fact that tampons absorb water. Therefore, women should pay attention to the time when swimming during their menstrual period. Can tampons be used when swimming during their menstrual period? Looking at the introduction above, we have learned that this is completely possible, but women still need to pay attention to hygiene issues so that their menstrual period can be smoother.
