Your vaginal discharge is not 3 drops of milk if you are pre-menopausal. But good try. |
I have to change a pad multiple times a day and I certainly can’t swim with one. Are you saying you have to keep changing your underwear throughout the day with period underwear? |
Compared to the amount of blood that came out when I was a teenager, it certainly is. Again, we’re all a little different. What works for some isn’t going to work for everyone. |
Uh no. There is absolutely no “leak proof seal” being formed. So disgusting to wear these in public pools and spread your blood everywhere. |
Follow along. We are talking about the poo and all these women allegedly bleeding out in the pool. Anyone’s flow is basically stopped while swimming!!! It’s physics!!!! I can’t take this thread anymore. Actual morons. |
If this is what you believe sincerely stop swimming in public pool. Lots of tween and probably early teen girls wearing this swimwear. You can’t tell because despite what you are saying there is not a trail of blood following them in the pool. |
DP. More likely you can’t tell because it dissipates in such a large amount of water. Not going to stop me from going in a pool—I know there’s lots of gross stuff in there. That’s why there are chemicals. But enough with this leak-proof nonsense. |

I’m getting rabid swim mom vibes from you. |
Ha. No. My daughter doesn’t do swim team. She does not wear period swimwear. I’m just baffled at the dumbness. Sorry. |
The amount of period blood that might leak out during an hour or two swim session is half a teaspoon max. I don’t care if some of that leaks in the pool. There are far grosser things leaking out from bodies into the pool and the chemicals take care of it. |
Just keep calling everyone morons and they’ll come around to your way of thinking eventually. |
+1 especially when she is perpetuating myths. |
Here is my kids experience the only time she wore her period swim bottoms. Her period swim bottoms worked just like period underwear( she wears them with a pad in school to prevent leaks). The period swim bottoms worked just fine out of the water, she could lay on towel. But once she gets in the water and laid back on towel, they leaked. Sooooo they must have leaked in the water( found it gross) so now after that she wore the to pool beach but didn’t go in water. |
My daughter rarely uses them and only at the very end of her period. For my mental sanity, I think of them the same way as baby swim diapers. Everyone knows they are not 100% but anyone in a public pool is willing to take the risk of swimming with others and all that comes with it. No one is trying to ban babies. |
