Our tips for enjoying the beach during your period

Because contrary to popular belief, water does not stop menstruation. It even helps you relax and relieve painful periods! So why deprive yourself of the beach this summer?

What periodic protection at the beach?
To swim in complete peace without fear of staining your bikini or scaring your swimming partners, wearing internal protection is still the simplest solution. Between the cup and the tampon, the cup remains more hygienic since, if it is well placed, no drop of sea water will be able to enter your vagina. But fear not: a tampon does not absorb the Mediterranean, professional swimmers and divers wear them and they have never reported anything like this. You simply have to change it after swimming for hygiene reasons, and at most every 4 hours to avoid toxic shock (this also applies to the cup). Once on the sand, you can also put on some pretty menstrual panties to sunbathe in peace.
Help, we can see the string of my tampon
When you wear a tampon under your swimsuit, you must check that the string does not come out. For added safety: simply wedge it between your lips. Otherwise, opt for a boxer-style swimsuit and a pair of cute beach shorts!
The natural version
To control blood loss at the beach, you can also practice free instinctive flow. A completely zero waste and eco-friendly method, and 100% natural. However, it requires a few months of practice before total mastery. It's up to you, we explain everything in this article .
Ouch a bloodstain
If, despite all these precautions, you end up with a blood stain on your swimsuit, casually wrap a pretty sarong around your waist and that's it. Also choose a beach companion to alert you in the event of a problem. And to be calm, simply choose dark-colored swimsuits!
Jaws
Rest assured right away, you are not at risk of being attacked by a shark if you lose a little blood in the water, even less menstrual blood. In fact, it doesn't contain anything that reminds her of her diet and surfers know this well . Relax.
Favorites, donuts, good ice cream here?
Ice cream, sweets or fatty fries are not really recommended during menstruation because they add to the discomfort of abdominal cramps. It is better to take fruit to the beach for a few days, small cereal snacks or even enjoy vitamin smoothies .
It's love at the beach (ah-ooh, cha cha cha)
Dedication to the singer Niagara: don't deprive yourself of love at sea because you have your period. Making love during your period is neither dirty nor dangerous. We say that, we say nothing.
A good bath… in the sun
If, despite everything, you are not comfortable swimming during this period of the cycle, enjoy the beach with a good book on a towel, under an umbrella, and cool off by putting your feet in the water.
