A Guide for Swimming With Your Period

(Newswire.net — July 3, 2018) Cheyenne, Wyoming — There are few things more annoying that planning a really cool beach trip with friends or an impromptu dip in a beautiful river. But for women there’s always that one extra thing she has to think of on her checklist, and that’s the possibility of her period arriving unexpectedly. Majority of women have a more or less reliable cycle but even so, spotting or light flows can start a tad earlier than expected from time to time so being forearmed serves one well.

Understand Your Period

After the favored application is chosen, the next consideration becomes what size to use in relations to the anticipated menstrual flow. If unsure, it may be best to work with one size larger than whatever your best guess happens to be. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Experiencing leakage is never a nice feeling so prepare and keep pristine.

Get Ready

It may be obvious but it actually isn’t for every woman. If entering the water during periods then the use of tampons or menstrual cups is the way to go. Even if you’re really a pad with wing type of person that method will simply not work for swimming. The same super absorbent quality one loves about pads is what works against them when submerged as it quickly takes in water which displaces the trapped blood, which means it spreads your period through the pool. Eeewww, no one wants that happening. Tampons and menstrual cups trap the blood within the body while blocking water from rushing in so select the one you are most comfortable with and insert.

Exercise Caution

If during one’s menstrual cycle debilitating cramps and aches are regular then swimming in a big pool may not be the wisest thing to do during your period. The sudden unset of such pain while in the water can spell danger. It’s best to limit oneself to smaller bodies of water like say a Jacuzzi, hot tub or even a shallow kiddie pool, there’s no shame in playing it safe.

The medically approved boric acid formula used in Femme-Fresh™ also keeps malodor at bay and refreshes so well that it’s even recommended by gynecologists. After all that fun and when your period is done, employing a vaginal suppository such at the HealthyWiser™ Femme-Fresh™ is a great way to restore vaginal pH balance.
