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: menstrual swimwear is available.
Menstrual swimsuits and swimwear effectively absorb menstrual flow in water - no more need for tampons!
Buffer-free, more natural
For many girls and women, using a tampon is uncomfortable, even painful. Inserting something into the body can be perceived as unnatural and unconsciously cause stress or tension. It can also lead to irritation.
Menstrual swimwear eliminates this discomfort and provides greater comfort and serenity. With menstrual swimwear, you almost forget you're menstruating - you can simply enjoy a pleasant moment in the water.
How a menstrual swimsuit works
Menstrual swimwear is made up of four unique absorbent layers on the inside, plus a snug-fitting water-repellent outer layer. Pool water doesn't penetrate the inside, preventing the absorbent part from becoming saturated. And vice versa: menstrual discharge doesn't escape into the water.
A bathing suit or menstrual panties offer an absorption capacity equivalent to 1 to 2 tampons. The length of use depends on each individual's body and flow. In general, a menstrual swimsuit or panties can be worn for an entire afternoon for light periods, or for around two hours for heavier flows.
These models are also perfect under a wetsuit, thanks to their snug fit. They wash just like menstrual underwear: simply machine wash in a net, or hand wash.
Suitable for teenage girls and women
Menstrual swimsuits are suitable for both teenagers and women, and are available in a range of designs. This makes swimming during your period a comfortable, elegant and stress-free experience.
