Misconception & Misunderstanding About Swimming During Period.
We all have heard that period stops when you’re in the water because of the water pressure. That’s not convincing. The water pressure may slow the flow, but your period will still continue. That’s why you should use a menstrual cup when you’re going for swimming.
You don’t have to change any of your regular activities when you have your period. That includes exercise and swimming. There are many misconceptions about swimming during your period such as:
It’s Filthy. You can swim when you have your period. You just need to wear a menstrual cup to catch the flow. Competitive swimmers have participated in big races during their periods.
It’s Unhygienic / Unsanitary. It’s always best to wear a menstrual cup when swimming. It’s very unlikely that there will be leakage, but swimming pools are chlorinated and use a filtration system.
Cramps will be Inadequate. You may not feel like swimming if you have painful period cramps, but exercise may actually help improve your period pain.
