i just started my first period about 5 months ago. and my cycle isnt exactly regular, so i dont always know when i am gonna get it. so im kind of worried now that its summer and im afriad that i might get my period again when im in a pool or swimming. i started using tampons and im gonna wear them swimming when i am on my period. so my question is that if i start my period again while im swimming or in the pool, is anyone gonna be able to tell or notice?
Answer:
Usually when they start they are light . So nobody would notice . just keep tampons with you.
It also would be a good idea for you if you where to keep trak on when they always start . that way you would have a justabout date when they come
If you are wearing a tampon they will not be able to notice.
No one will notice or be able to tell if you start while your in the pool.
It should stop while you are in the water. Just like it does when you take a shower, or a bath.
while sometimes the water will temporarilly stop your period, if it comes heavy, yes, you will be able to tell! My suggestion to you would be to go to your local Family Planning agency, it's totally confidential, even from parents..and free to teens, and get some birth control! This will make it so you know exactly when you'll get your period (the last week of pills)...and usually your period comes a lot lighter while on the pill! also your safe from unplanned pregnancy :)
just make sure you wear a tampon and check it frequently. if you feel yourself getting cramps, it could be a sign that your period is coming, excuse your self and go to the bathroom and check. i have never had a problem in the pool, but sometimes it would get heavier after i was done swimming (i don't know why)
i suggest that u dont so swiiming when u no that u ahve ur period coming yea and use tamps with u all the time and panite liners when u r going out and u no its coming its ok if it not regular we r all different in our wway hope this helps u!
The blood flow usually stops when you're body is in water so don't worry about it!
more than likely they wont be able to tell it unless its like a wave but no. just try and remember on like what day that you had your first one and you body usually tells you by like crabbiness moodiness
don't wear white! but no, no one should be able to notice unless starts off heavy. and make bathroom checks frequently.
Not if you wear a tampon. You can't wear a pad, of course. If you wear nothing and you start, yes.they will be able to tell because you'll have blood running down your legs. The pool will have to be evacuated and they will have to put special chemicals in the water because blood is a bio-hazard material.
You don't want all that. Wear a tampon whether your period has started or not.
Just listen to your body, even if your periods are irregular, you should probably get some sign that you are going to start soon. If you know you are going to start, but havent, and are about to get in the pool, if it was me, id put in the absolute lowest absorbancy available, take it out AS SOON as you get out if no bleeding has started. Because its really not safe to wear a tampon if no blood is being absorbed, but for me personally, id rather be on the tiny risk side, than have a untimely accident in the pool.
I have the exact same problem!!!! I started in December and my solution is every time you get out of the pool for snacks , leave your sunscreen in the bathroom, say you are putting more sunscreen on and check your underwear
No. Not while you are in the water. But when you get out of the pool, you may possibly leave a water/blood trail. My kids were on swim teams for many years, and there was a girl who had started and left spots on the pool deck.
But don't worry about that happening, in all the years my kids have been swimming, they have never had an incident like that... and they swam year-around.
Surprisingly, the body reacts with water in some wierd way and stops letting out blood when it is imersed in water. While you're swimming, you won't bleed. So, no... nobody will notice. However, you should always carry a tampon or pad with you wherever you go. It won't happen in the water, but while you're tanning by the water it might. It is always good to be prepared. Good luck. And don't be worried - you'll be fine.
They will notice if you're acting suspicious. Beginnings of having the initial period is always awkward. I never used tampons because I always felt it prevents a complete flow. When you feel your period is coming.. prepare. Do what make you comfortable and safe.
No. Just try to be in tuned to your body and feel for when your period is coming on. Start charting when you get your period and how long it lasts. You should get your next one anywhere from 28-32 days from the start of your previous one. So if you got your period today, your next one could come anywhere between 28 and 32 days from now. Carry tampons with you in your gym bag and if you do start your period in the pool (unlikely) no, no one will notice. If you put a drop of milk in a large glass of water, it dissipates and you can't even tell it's there because the ratio of milk to water is great. It would be the same thing here. The ratio of blood to water would be great and no one would tell, but if you had a heavy flow you could risk having it run down your leg when you get out of the pool which could be embarassing.
contrary to another comment, a heavy bleeder can still bleed when they are in water. Or i defy gravity because i do unfortunately. if you have a cut on you that is bleeding and you put it in water, does the blood stop?
When people have a wound do people tend to roll up some cotton and press against the injury to prevent more blood getting out or do they throw them into the sea and say there that ought to save them losing blood.
Sorry not trying to be rude, but i was told you stop bleeding in the water, and found it isn't true.
Although if you do not bleed very heavily you probably might get away with it. Hopefully people aren't going around carefully inspecting your crotch area to look for blood stains. Get a blood camoflague bathing suit... like a black one.
The pool will be chlorinated i would imagine so there shouldn't be any hygeine issues.
Also perhaps look at a "moon cup". Though i find them tricky to insert and a little sore to pull out if you've got a hymen. But once again perhaps i am the only person in the world with this rare problem.
Good luck
