Let's discover together why adopt period swimwear is the best decision you can make. 🤗
What is period swimwear? Definition and how it works
You have heard about the period swimwear, but are you not sure you understand how it works? Is it really reliable? And is it discreet? 🧐
The period swimwear is a real jersey with built-in protection, designed for absorb your flow discreetly, without anyone noticing anything!
How does it work?
- 1st coat : soft, antibacterial, pleasant to the touch, keeps you dry
- 2nd coat : breathable, allowing blood to pass through
- 3rd layer : absorbent, to capture and retain menstrual flow
- 4th layer: waterproof, to prevent any leakage or water infiltration
You can enjoy a swim in any type of water (sea, pool, lakes, or oceans). And if you want an absolute moment of relaxation in a jacuzzi, steam room, or sauna, no problem, your period swimwear fits everywhere !
Now that you know how it works, let's look at all the advantages of adopting it this summer. ✅
Period swimwear, a better solution than traditional sanitary protection
Tampons, sanitary pads, or cups are the most common protections. But as soon as you go to the beach or the pool, it’s a hassle. These protections are not necessarily designed for water! It’s time to consider an alternative. 💪
But first, what are the disadvantages of these so-called "classic" hygienic solutions.
Tampons: convenient but not without limits ❌
You might think of tampons as the most discreet solution for swimming. But that's not the case:
- Once in the water, the absorbent tampon not only the blood, but also water of sea or pool water. Result: unpleasant feeling of dampness, reduced effectiveness and risk of leakage at the outlet.
- You owe it change regularly, which is not always easy at the beach.
- At any time, when you move, the string from your tampon can escape from your swimsuit without you even realizing it.
- And above all, you are running a toxic shock risk*, especially if you keep it too long in hot conditions.
*Menstrual toxic shock syndrome is a rare but serious infection caused by a bacterium (Staphylococcus aureus) that can develop when a tampon is left in for too long. It causes an inflammatory reaction throughout the body and can lead to serious complications if not treated promptly.
Sanitary pads: completely incompatible with water 🚫
No surprise here: the sanitary towels are not made for water. They immediately absorb any external moisture and become unusable.
And under a swimsuit, they are uncomfortable, visible, and frankly impractical when it's hot. 😓
The menstrual cup: well designed, but not very practical on vacation 🤷♀️
The menstrual cup may seem like a good alternative. It is reusable, invisible, and leak-proof if positioned correctly.
But in reality, it still has its limits:
- Inserting or removing it discreetly on a beach or in public restrooms can quickly become a headache.
- It must be able to empty it, rinse it, reinsert it. Not very practical when you don't have clean water on hand.
- And for young girls or first periods, it is not always a reassuring option.
In short, even though these protections are useful in everyday life, they quickly show their limits at the beach, the pool, or on vacation.
And if you could simply put on a swimsuit, go for a swim, and forget your period ? That's exactly what period swimwear offers—let us explain everything. ⬇️
