Tampons for Swimming
Tampons for swimming can help you feel comfortable and confident in the water despite your period. Whether you're new to tampons or looking to try a new brand, CVS has a suitable option for you.
What are the Best Tampons For Swimming Brands?
Why Are Tampons Good for Swimming?
The main reason tampons are a good option for swimming is that they absorb blood before it leaves your body, then locks it in so that blood doesn't leak into the water. This makes them a better option than pads, which are prone to soaking up water. If used correctly, they're also comfortable, allowing you to forget your period and enjoy the pool.
Tampons are a good option if you usually use a menstrual cup and are worried about being able to empty and clean it at a public pool or water park. Tampons are quick and easy to change and dispose of in a bathroom stall.
What Tampons Should I Use for Swimming?
You can wear any type of tampon for swimming, and they all work in the same way. However, it's important to choose the right tampon for your unique needs. Start by considering your flow. Choosing tampons that are appropriate for your flow helps ensure your tampon is comfortable while you're swimming and helps prevent leaking.
If your flow is light or your period is almost over, light-flow tampons may be the most comfortable. On your heavier days, super tampons provide peace of mind.
Also consider what you want from a tampon. Perhaps you only use applicator tampons, or maybe using organic tampons or unscented tampons is important to you. Spend some time browsing the options to choose which one is right for you.
How Do I Use Tampons While Swimming?
To use tampons while swimming, simply insert one as you normally would, and wear whatever swimsuit you like. If you usually use pads and are new to tampons, try starting with applicator tampons, such as Tampax Pearl Super, which are designed for easy insertion.
You might also want to consider Playtex Sport regular-absorbency tampons, which are designed to support movement and exercise. They're especially useful if you're going to a water aerobics class, diving or using water slides.
If you're lounging at the beach all day or going to a water park, try to change your tampon every 4 to 6 hours. This helps to keep you comfortable and avoid infection. If you're just going for a quick swim or exercise class, change your tampon before and after you get into the water.
