Can You Go Swimming With A Pad Go ahead and swim with your period and pads as long as you are not swimming in a chlorinated pool the risk of contamination of the pool by menstrual blood is unsafe.

Can you go swimming with a pad. However if a pad is your only option go with a thin pad and be sure to stick it to your swimsuit bottoms when they re still dry. According to the lunapads website the cloth pads can last up to five years and replaces about 120 pads or tampons in its lifespan. You can use pads if you are wondering how to swim on your period without a tampon. Submerged in water like a pool a pad will completely fill with water leaving no room for it to absorb your menstrual fluid plus it may swell up into a big soppy mess. Getting into the water with a pad is a tad tricky when compared to using tampons or a menstrual cup. Water can make the adhesive on your pad even less effective than normal. Cotton or cloth pads are reusable and will not disintegrate in water while you are swimming. Before you swim on your period with a pad keep in mind that using a tampon or a menstrual cup will be more effective since a pad will absorb a lot of pool water. Pads are super absorbent and given that they can easily come into contact with the water will become useless when you get into the pool.
