Can I swim while using a tampon?

Can I swim after using a tampon? This is a question that many women like to ask. For women in China, menstruation is a restraint on their bodies. They cannot do many things in their daily lives, especially in summer, when even their favorite swimming has to be put aside. Swimming is a sport that many people like very much and is popular among everyone. So how to solve women's desire to swim during menstruation? Let's talk about it in detail below.

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. According to experts, it is possible to swim while using a tampon.

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 I swim while using a tampon? Looking at the introduction above, we have learned that women can swim safely during their menstrual period after using a tampon. However, Chinese medicine emphasizes that women's bodies should be conditioned more during their menstrual period, which requires women to pay attention to keeping warm during their menstrual period. Therefore, women must pay attention to the water temperature when swimming, and the swimming time should not be too long. They must change the tampon in time after swimming.
