Sports on hold? The facts on activities during your period. |

| Does having your period keep you from doing things you like? |
|
|
It sure doesn’t have to! There’s no reason why having your period should keep you from doing what you enjoy – exercise, sports, working or playing. With proper use of Tampax tampons or Always pads, you can wear your favourite clothes without worrying that anything can be "seen," and you can pretty much bet your good clothes won’t get stained.
Can you play sports when you have your period?
Having a period is a normal, healthy part of being a woman. Whether you wear a pad or a tampon, you can still play any sport and exercise.
Can you swim during menstruation?
Yes. The use of tampons has made it possible to swim during menstruation since the flow is absorbed internally. (It’s always a good idea to change you tampon right before and after you go swimming). We don’t recommend wearing a pad when you swim since it will become wet and not absorb your menstrual flow.
How does exercise affect menstruation?
A little exercise doesn’t affect the amount of flow or length of your period. In fact, it usually helps to relieve menstrual cramps. Since exercise is important for good health, it should be part of your daily routine.
Can you take a hot bath during your period?
During your period, it’s most important to keep yourself fresh and clean. A hot bath or shower is fine – it can help cramps or just relax you in general.
