Swimming during your period: everything you need to know about menstrual swimsuits

Posted by Johan Smets on

Using tampons is not an ideal solution for everyone when it comes to swimming during periods.
Those who have to give up swimming, competitions, or swimming lessons for this reason can now rejoice: there are menstrual swimsuits.
The menstrual panties and swimsuits effectively absorb menstrual flow in the water – no more tampons needed!

Tampon-free, more natural

For many young girls and women, using a tampon is uncomfortable, even painful.
Inserting something into the body can feel unnatural and subconsciously cause stress or tension.
It can also lead to irritation.
The menstrual swimsuit eliminates this discomfort and provides more comfort and peace of mind.
With a menstrual swim panty, you almost forget you have your period – you can simply enjoy a pleasant time in the water.

How a menstrual swimsuit works

A menstrual swim panty is made of four unique absorbent layers inside, as well as a water-repellent and well-fitting outer layer.
Pool water does not penetrate inside, preventing the absorbent part from becoming saturated.
And vice versa: menstrual flow does not leak into the water.

A menstrual swimsuit or panty offers an absorption capacity equivalent to 1 to 2 tampons.
The duration of use depends on each body and flow.
Generally, you can wear a menstrual swimsuit or panty for an entire afternoon with light flow, or about two hours with heavier flow.

These models are also perfect to wear under a surf wetsuit, thanks to their snug fit.
They wash like menstrual panties: simply in the machine, in a laundry bag, or by hand.

Suitable for teenagers and women

The menstrual swimsuits are suitable for both teenagers and women and are available in several styles.
Swimming during your period thus becomes a comfortable, stylish, and stress-free experience.
