Swimming

So someone said that when I swim your period doesn't leak, I also noticed this when I go in the bath. Is it possible that o don't need to wear a tampon while swimming?

Hi there.  I'd say that is false.  You will also leak blood when swimming.  You'll need a tampon when in the water as well and it shouldn't affect anything should you already use tampons.  good luck

You can if you feel more comfortable wearing one, but I never do and I haven't had any issues
