Can I swim while wearing a tampon?

Many female friends usually use sanitary napkins when they have their period. This is also the most common item. However, women cannot exercise while using sanitary napkins. First, it is bad for the body, and second, it will affect the activities during menstruation. However, there is a kind of sanitary product that will not affect women’s normal activities, that is, tampons. Let’s find out together, can you swim while using tampons?

It is okay to use tampons while swimming. 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 the tampon reaches the appropriate position. If you feel strong 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 not to swim.

2. 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. The swimming time should not exceed one hour.

3. It is also best to replace the tampon before going into the water.

Through the above introduction, we now know that we can swim while using tampons, which will not affect women's sports. However, we need to pay attention to the correct usage of tampons. This is a female hygiene product that is a little more complicated to use than sanitary napkins and requires our attention.
