Swimming during your period is entirely possible and safe, as long as you use the right menstrual products to prevent leaks and stay comfortable.

Advice:

• Use the Right Products: Tampons and menstrual cups are excellent options for swimming, as they collect menstrual flow internally and prevent leaks. The DivaCup is a great choice, offering up to 12 hours of leak-free protection. It's eco-friendly, reusable, and suitable for active lifestyles, including swimming.

• Stay Comfortable: Choose a snug-fitting swimsuit to help keep everything secure. Remember to change your tampon or empty your menstrual cup after swimming to maintain hygiene.

• Alternative Options: If tampons or cups aren’t for you, period-proof swimwear is a great alternative. It’s designed with a waterproof layer to absorb menstrual flow without leaking, allowing you to swim worry-free.
