Frequently Asked Questions

Is it okay to exercise during my period?
There are a lot of advantages to sticking with your activities, no matter what time of the month it is. Exercise helps keep cramps away, give your skin a healthy glow, lighten your mood, and keep you busy so you’re not thinking about your monthly visitor. But when your period comes, it might make you feel off your game. Cramps, bloating, bad moods, headaches, zits, and an overall icky feeling could send you running for the hot water bottle instead of running to practice or a big match. But staying active and moving around will help you with whatever Mother Nature throws at you and can make you a stronger, happier, healthier person.

Do I need a tampon to go swimming during my period?
You do need to use a tampon in order to go swimming. It is not sanitary for you to swim with others when you have your period if you don’t have a tampon in.

I play a lot of sports. How can I go to practice without everyone knowing I’m on my period?
When you have your period, tampons are a great way to keep your business private—what no one sees, no one has to know about! Plus, even when you’re active, your tampon will stay in place. When tampons are inserted into your body, they stay inside your body and are designed to move with you. Whether you’re tumbling, pirouetting, cheering, or jumping up for a slam dunk, tampons give you protection you can count on. After about four to eight hours, when your tampon gets saturated, head to the bathroom, tug the string gently, and your tampon will come out easily.

When you’re on a swimming or diving team and have a meet, sitting on the bench isn’t an option. When you have your period, tampons are the only choice when you’re looking to jump in and make a splash without making a scene. Pool water won’t get in, and leaks can’t get out. Carry around a cute, waterproof carrying case for your goggles, swim cap, cell phone, and tampons, and no one will ever need to know you have your period.

Many sports uniforms can be pretty revealing. Cheerleading skirts, ballet and gymnastics leotards, running shorts, and tight volleyball shorts don’t always hide the bulk of a pad. With tampons, just be sure to tuck the string into your underpants, and the only thing people will focus on is your talent.
