Relaxed swimming during menstruation

Summer means swimming, but what if you have your period? You can still do both. This guide shows you how to go swimming during your period.

Which period products are best for swimming during your period?

Waterproof products such as tampons and menstrual cups are ideal for swimming during menstruation. They protect you without soaking up water and keep you dry and comfortable while you swim. Tampons are easy to use and reliable if you change them regularly. Menstrual cups last longer: they protect against leaks for up to 12 hours, which makes them ideal for longer days at the beach or pool.

Summer period tips for staying comfortable

Hygiene matters especially when you swim during your period. For thorough intimate hygiene, it is best to change your menstrual products right before and right after swimming, for maximum cleanliness and comfort. Water pressure can sometimes slow down the flow of blood, but you should still rely on safe, hygienic products to avoid discomfort and risks.

Which other summer period tips help you cope with the heat during your period?

Besides changing your menstrual products, make sure you drink enough. Water or isotonic drinks help you keep up your hydration and electrolyte balance. Avoid intense physical activity in the blazing sun, and stay in the shade where you can or wear light clothing.

Prepare well if you want to go swimming during your period

Check your menstrual calendar in advance and have suitable products ready. Pack a small bag with extras such as fresh tampons or a spare menstrual cup, plus wet wipes and period underwear for a quick change. Lightweight, dark swimwear also helps, because it makes any leaks less noticeable and gives you extra confidence.
