The other day, I saw my friends sitting in the sea with a pad during their period at the beach. Is this normal? I've never done that, but it seems a bit strange to me. Do you think people can do things like this? What should I do, or am I overreacting?
this is pretty stupid
this was done by one of my friends in the neighborhood when we were kids, and when his mother heard, she made a huge fuss. since then, I learned that using tampons during my period is better.
So do they think it won't flow in the sea, or is it because no one will understand on this beach?
I don't think that's healthy; there's a risk of infection because the pad absorbs water. If you need to swim, it's essential to use a tampon or menstrual cup.
@soncaykaldi it just flows in the water, I don't understand why there would be an infection? I wish everyone wouldn't exaggerate so much.
@yazipsildim I think they did it this way because they felt comfortable, but it really seemed strange to me. I don't know if they've done this for the first time 😬
@aklimkaldi it's normal to find it strange, everyone has their own way of feeling comfortable after all. but maybe it would be better not to judge without asking? 😬
If they want to swim during their period, the most sensible options are either a tampon or a menstrual cup. Using pads is simply illogical; you won't be comfortable.
@pazardandondum you say it flows in the water, but the pad absorbs the water once. How can this be something that feels comfortable? 🤦♀️
