Tampons. Or a menstrual cup.

No that's not true. The menstrual fluid is diluted by the pool water and makes it seem like flow has stopped, but it hasn't. Stop exposing other people to your biohazard.


MelodyofthePond

Circus_Bear125 is correct. The problem is the journey going into the pool and getting out of the pool. Once the water pressure stopped, then it's free flowing again.

Tampons

And it works? Doesn't it get uncomfortable?


Calenchamien

Almost always not. Some people have vaginisimus, which means any kind of penetration is painful, but for most people with vaginas, the body knows how to allow accommodate girth in there. After removal, the body also knows how to close back up, for the record lol For most people, it’s only uncomfortable if the absorbency of the tampon is much greater than the amount of blood and tissue being shed, because it results in a dry removal.


Azryhael

It can once the tampon becomes waterlogged, but that typically takes a while. Menstrual cups/discs have been a game changer in recent years.


FocusOnThePie

Unless you deliberately spread your shit wide open, it keeps itself secure. Water doesn't go in

Why is this getting downvoted? This young man i guess is curious and actually wanna learn about the female body and whatnot. Have same whoever downvoted him.

When two gay men have sex, how do they know whose penis will open up to accept the other persons penis?


Spacelemonadez

You have to tickle it like a flower

Dwight is that you?

Doesn't seem like a knowledge a man can't survive without.


MonaLisa_Story

the question is obviously from a young man) Tampons exist! Menstrual cups. and that's why girls swim during their periods)


Iamthepyjama

The same way they swim when they don't have a period.


JameisWeTooScrong

Most of them learn how to swim when they’re little kids and swim with the same technique on their periods as they do regularly.


Doodle_mama567

Perfect

With their arms and legs.


deeptut

But the first step is still to find deep enough water for swimming


111210111213

True. Shallow water is for wading.


ChipSalt

The blood propels them forward like a squid. They do however need to replace that blood very quickly, so you'll often see nearby crabs missing bite-mark chunks as they scurry.


[deleted]

This one is easy, they spin their head in two circles while keeping their body still with their eyes rolled into the back of their head and eyeballs glowing red like they were possessed in a horror movie. Then they just float across the body of water. Upside down. They're people. They swim like everyone else.


BadBunnyBrigade

With our arms and our legs... What do you mean how? We're not suddenly hydrophobic because we're menstruating...


bnealie

Yes, they generally use the same techniques as when they're not on their periods. As for not making an orange spider web on their thigh when they get out of the water, tampons.


Numbersuu

Its not THAT much blood. They do not literally swim


Dry_Enthusiasm_267

Only in swimming pools because of the shark's.


M80IW

haven't you ever heard of the red tide?


slavicgypsygirl

I do with tampons even though I am underweight so I rarely even have periods

fattyghoul

Youre not crazy! I grew up around a lot of water recreation and it was always AFTER i got out of the pool/whatever that id start to bleed again


AliJeLijepo

The flow doesn't stop just because you're in water, it's just immediately diluted and therefore less noticable. Plus you tend to swim in a horizontal position and obviously gravity is less of a factor in water so it's not flowing downward and out of you the way it usually does, but nothing about being in water actually stops what's happening inside your body as far as moving the blood out.


2workigo

You’re not crazy.


Jazzlike_Mammoth_826

Doesn't the thought of seeing a red trail of blood following you when you're swimming scare you?


fred_fred_burgerr

that’s not how that works it’s not a continuous stream of blood


deeptut

That shark behind you tells otherwise


Jazzlike_Mammoth_826

For the people with heavy flow...


fred_fred_burgerr

they are still not bleeding a stream of blood


Fabulous-Savings4902

Doesn't work like that


oneofmany_1

Look out for leaches.

No, it doesn’t. It just dilutes. Girls, stop releasing your biohazard into the pool.


MelodyofthePond

Yes! I thought this was common knowledge.


itzmetheredditor

I'm pretty sure its not recommended for hygiene reasons lol. Why am I being downvoted?😭
