Can I swim when I am on my period?

You can totally swim on your period! It's good exercise and may even relieve cramps. Tampons are a great period product to wear while swimming, or spending all day at the beach! You might have a little leakage because, contrary to myths, your flow does not completely stop in the water; it is reduced, but not stopped. A tampon is a great way to avoid stains on your bathing suit and a safeguard for when you get out of the water. Just don't get distracted building sandcastles and remember to change it every 4-8 hours...
