Use a menstrual cup or tampon (a tampon that is inserted into the vagina) if you plan to go to the beach. Regular tampons are completely unsuitable for swimming. The bandage will quickly absorb water and no longer have the ability to absorb blood, not to mention that it will then expand to the point of revealing and no longer fit neatly in a bathing suit, may even slide out and float. floating on the water. [1] X Source of Research In contrast, tampons and menstrual cups absorb fluids before they even leave the body, so the chance of leakage is very low. [2] X Research Source
- Tampons can stay in your body for up to 8 hours and menstrual cups for up to 12 hours, so you can enjoy activities from sunbathing to swimming to beach volleyball without having to rush to the bathroom. born.
- Look for tampons labeled “active” or specifically designed for sports. These tampons have a low risk of leakage and are designed for activities like swimming, running, or playing frisbee. [3] X Research Sources
- If you’re worried about the string of the tampon sticking out, you can bring a nail clipper and carefully trim the cord after you put the tampon in. [4] X Research Source You can simply tuck the string into the lining of your swimsuit.
- When in the water, menstruation may stop flowing or come out very little. The pressure of the water can act as a stopper and keep menstrual fluid inside. However, this also does not guarantee safety, and you should not rely on this. [5] X Research Sources

Bring a bit of spare gear. Put a few tampons in a small bag and tuck them into a beach bag so you don’t have to be embarrassed when you need to and don’t have one. That way, you’ll have peace of mind if you miss your period more than usual and need to change tampons a few times, or an outing lasts longer than expected and exceeds the safe 8-hour limit when using tampons. [6] X Research Sources
- When you have a spare on hand, you’ll have more peace of mind to relax and enjoy your day instead of worrying about where to find a new tampon.
- The number of tampons you bring with you can save your trip if one of your friends has a girlfriend who suddenly gets a red light or forgets to bring her things. [7] X Research Sources

Wear dark swimwear. This is not the time to wear a white swimsuit. Although very rare, there is still a chance that you have a leak. Since there are no protective underwear inside the swimsuit, you should choose dark swimwear such as black or dark blue to hide if an accident occurs. [8] X Research Sources
- If you’re really worried about spills, you can wear shorts or a graceful wrap dress over your swimsuit for an extra layer of protection. [9] X Research Source

Bring over-the-counter pain relievers to combat stomach upset. Is there anything worse than menstrual cramps? Yes, menstrual cramps when going to the beach. Be sure to bring an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) and make sure to take it as directed on the label. Do not forget water and snacks when taking the medicine. [10] X Research Source
- Bring hot water or warm water with a squeeze of lemon in a thermos. This drink can enhance blood circulation, relax muscles and ease menstrual cramps.

Consider slowing down or skipping a period if you’re on vacation. If you’re on birth control and know that your week-long beach trip falls on red light week, you can choose to skip a period or postpone it for a week. If used only occasionally, it won’t hurt and won’t affect the effectiveness of birth control methods – but you should still check with your doctor to be sure. [11] X Research Source
- If you take birth control pills, don’t take the placebo pills during the week of your period (these pills are usually distinguished by a different marking or color). Instead, take the new pack right away. [12] X Research Source
- If using the patch or ring, remove it after three weeks as usual. However, instead of stopping using it for a week, replace it with a new one right away. [13] X Research Source
- It’s possible that a little bit of blood may still drip while you’re skipping your period, so it’s still a good idea to carry a daily tampon as a backup. [14] X Research Source
- If you’re on birth control, be sure to keep an extra pack, patch or ring in case insurance doesn’t let you get your pills early (because you’ll need a new pack a week earlier than usual). [15] X Research Source

Drink plenty of water and avoid foods high in salt to prevent bloating and abdominal pain. You certainly don’t want to feel bloated and uncomfortable on the day you’re supposed to be frolicking in your swimsuit. Avoid fried and salted foods, and instead snack on water-rich fruits like watermelon and berries, or calcium-rich almonds, which reduce spasms.
- Avoid caffeine, as caffeine can increase spasms. [16] X Research Source
- Drink water, lemonade, or caffeine-free tea in place of soft drinks or alcoholic beverages that can cause bloating. [17] X Research Source

Camp near toilets. You don’t have to camp right outside the bathroom, but at least choose a place where the toilet is within sight so you can quickly get in to change or check for a leak. Furthermore, an empty bladder and bowels also help to relieve abdominal pain, so you should go to the bathroom often for your comfort. [18] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5a/Go-to-the-Beach-on-Your-Period-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Go- to-the-Beach-on-Your-Period-Step-8.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5a/Go-to-the-Beach- on-Your-Period-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Go-to-the-Beach-on-Your-Period-Step-8.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use an oil-free sunscreen specifically designed for facial skin. Many women experience breakouts during their period, and oil-based sunscreens make acne worse. You should look for a sunscreen with a non-comedogenic formula for your face. [19] X Research Source If you’re concerned about red spots or breakouts on your face, use a tinted moisturizer over your sunscreen to even out your skin tone. [20] X Research Source
- Big sunglasses and a pretty wide-brimmed hat also help hide acne spots in “those days”. [21] X Research Source Plus, you’ll look great with these accessories.

Swim or exercise to relieve abdominal pain. You probably don’t want to do these things at all, but sometimes exercise is the best cure for colic. Endorphins released by the body will improve your mood and also be a pain reliever. [22] X Research Source
- If you really don’t want to exercise, rest your feet on a stack of towels or beach bags to relieve pain. You can also lie on your stomach, breathing deeply and slowly.
Going to the beach without tampons
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/07/Go-to-the-Beach-on-Your-Period-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Go- to-the-Beach-on-Your-Period-Step-10.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/07/Go-to-the-Beach- on-Your-Period-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Go-to-the-Beach-on-Your-Period-Step-10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Consider getting used to using tampons. Many women feel apprehensive when using tampons for the first time, but actually these tampons are comfortable, easy to put on and convenient. Practice using tampons before your trip to the beach (but only while you’re menstruating – because using tampons on a regular day can be painful and dangerous) to feel confident when you step into the water.
- Remember that tampons cannot float inside the body. If something happens and the string sticks out, it’s easy to remove the tampon. Just make sure you don’t use a tampon for more than 8 hours and you’ll be fine.
- Some women have trouble inserting tampons because the hymen is too tight or the vaginal opening is too small. If you’ve tried several times without a tampon, you should see your doctor. [23] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f4/Go-to-the-Beach-on-Your-Period-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Go- to-the-Beach-on-Your-Period-Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f4/Go-to-the-Beach- on-Your-Period-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Go-to-the-Beach-on-Your-Period-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use regular tampons and lie down in the sun all day, reading a book. [24] X Research Source If you’re not planning to go to the beach, you’ll be fine with a thin pad under your swimsuit. Be sure to use a sleeveless tampon, and check in front of a mirror to see if the pad is clearly visible through the fabric of your swimsuit. [25] X Research Sources
- Wear shorts or a skirt that wraps pretty around your waist, just in case the bandages are visible inside your swimsuit.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9f/Go-to-the-Beach-on-Your-Period-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Go- to-the-Beach-on-Your-Period-Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9f/Go-to-the-Beach- on-Your-Period-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Go-to-the-Beach-on-Your-Period-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Try swimming without tampons. This is a little tricky, and you might get a little leak, but if you can’t use tampons and want to swim to death, give it a try. When you are about to go to the sea, go to the bathroom to take out a tampon. Put on your shorts and hurry down the hill.
- Take off the shorts left in the sand, then plunge into the water. While not completely guaranteed, water can stop bleeding when you swim or come out so little that no one notices.
- Once ashore, quickly put on your shorts, get a fresh bandage, and go to the bathroom to stick it on your swimsuit. The bandages may have a hard time sticking to wet fabrics, so you may need to change your underwear and wear shorts.
Warning
- Only order one tampon up to 8 hours! There is a warning about toxic shock syndrome (TSS) when using tampons.
- Talk to your doctor before skipping a period or delaying a week with birth control just to be on the safe side.
