Swimming during your period – relax!
First things first: Yes, it is perfectly safe to swim during your period. Many women wonder if the water will stop their menstrual flow or if they should be concerned about staining. The water pressure actually reduces the flow while swimming—but of course, it doesn't stop it completely. This is where period swimwear comes in, offering you added security and comfort.
What is period swimwear?
Period swimwear is a real game changer . It looks like regular swimwear but has a crucial, invisible function: It's specifically designed to accommodate your menstrual flow while keeping you feeling confident and free. Whether it's a chic period bikini or a sporty swimsuit—the choice is yours!
The technology behind it
High-quality period swimwear like the Period Bikini PERFORMANCE® combines multiple layers of high-tech materials. These include:
Ultra-absorbent – to absorb your menstrual flow.
Leak-proof – so no unpleasant surprises happen.
Waterproof – for maximum protection in the water.
A special highlight is the WaterStop silicone layer , which reliably prevents leaks even in strong currents. This technology ensures you can move around the pool, at the beach, or at the lake without worry.
Why Period Swimwear Is a Game Changer
1. Maximum comfort
Unlike tampons or menstrual cups, you'll barely notice period swimwear. It feels like regular swimwear and is particularly comfortable because there's nothing "disturbing" or tight.
2. Safety before leakage
Thanks to the integrated, leak-proof layers, you can concentrate fully on swimming without worrying about stains.
3. Sustainability
Period swimwear is reusable and an environmentally friendly alternative to disposable products like tampons. This not only saves your wallet but also the environment.
4. Stylish design
With styles like the period bikini, you don't have to compromise between function and style. Trendy cuts and colors make your new swimwear a real eye-catcher!
5. Self-confidence in the water
For many, the thought of a slip-up during your period is a real mood killer. With period swimwear, you can regain your confidence and focus entirely on fun and relaxation.
4. Tips for swimming with period swimwear
To help you feel completely comfortable and get the most out of your period swimwear, here are some practical tips:
1. Choose the right size
A well-fitting period swimwear is crucial for it to fulfill its purpose. Make sure the bikini or swimsuit is neither too tight nor too loose.
2. Choose the right suction power
Most period swimwear is suitable for light to medium flow. For heavier flow, you can combine it with a tampon or menstrual cup if that's more comfortable for you.
3. Follow care instructions
Wash your period swimwear thoroughly after each use. It's best to rinse out any blood by hand with cold water and then put it in the washing machine. Avoid fabric softener, as this could compromise the absorbent layers.
4. Test them before your vacation
If you're unsure how period swimwear feels, try it on at home while taking a relaxing bath or shower.
5. Wearing time
We're all different, and when it comes to periods, it's difficult to generalize. The length of time you wear period swimwear depends largely on the intensity of your period. Just like with tampons or pads, how long it keeps you dry varies from person to person. We generally recommend (and this also applies to regular swimwear to prevent cystitis) changing your panties for dry ones after going into the water.
Can I use period swimwear for any water sport?
Yes! Whether swimming, surfing, or stand-up paddling – the leak-proof technology ensures safety during every activity.
Does this really work?
Yes, the absorbent layers and technologies such as the WaterStop silicone layer are specially designed to work reliably.
Can I use period swimwear on days when I don't have my period?
Absolutely! It's perfect as regular swimwear and super comfortable.
Reclaim the water!
With period swimwear, there are no more excuses! You can feel confident and secure while splashing in the waves or swimming laps. It's time to enjoy the possibilities offered by innovative products like the Period PERFORMANCE® Panty and WaterStop silicone technology. Be bold, be free—and turn your period into an opportunity for new experiences!
