[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 10yo got her period last June and is a swimmer. I bought her Ruby Love bikini bottoms only. They’re pricey but they seem to work. No leak issues. Their customer service isn’t great and their size chart was a bit confusing, not sure if they’ve made it easier since last summer. For swim team she wears them as part of a two piece with a tankini style top and for recreational swimming she wears them under board shorts which is what she’s always worn for rec swimming anyway. I talked to her about tampons and she’s not interested. That’s ok. It can wait. [/quote]
If they really don’t leak, then how are they getting clean in the wash?[/quote]  I’m the  PP. I honestly don’t know the science behind it. I think they are designed to hold in blood when the swimmer is out of the water, there’s no blood running down her legs or stains when she’s sitting etc….. it holds it in. I’m [b]not sure what happens in the water though[/b] ….[/quote]
The blood comes out which is why these are disgusting to wear in public pools.[/quote]

I agree. Tampon OP she's old enough.[/quote]im not forcing my 10yo to put a tampon inside herself and I’m assuming OP doesn’t want to force her 12yo. People pee in the pool, and there is fecal matter in there too unless literally everyone had showered before getting in. There are enough chemicals in the pool too… [/quote]Then there is no point in paying all that money for “period swimwear”. Just have her wear regular swimwear since you don’t care about her bleeding into the water and blood being everywhere.[/quote]
How ignorant. I have no idea how they work but they do. We have a pool at our house and there is no blood flowing in the water. If I didn’t wear the period bathing suits there would be (i swim twice a day and have had my period surprise me). Anyways, I had a traumatic emergency delivery with forceps with one of my babies, and the damage is not fixable and I am unable to wear tampons. Believe me i have tried a lot of brands of period swimwear, and the winner for me is Knix. I have multiple pieces in solid black and also mix and match the bottoms with other black tops I have from j crew & summersault. Inwill say the Knix swimwear sizing seems to run smaller than their underwear. [/quote]
If blood isn’t coming out when the suit is submerged in the water, then it’s not coming out when you wash the suit. So you’re either spreading your bloodd around to other swimmers (altho not you personally since you’re in a private pool) or you’re constantly sitting in a blood filled suit that is never clean. Nasty either way.[/quote]
