Tampons and Swimming: Safety & Staying Power

It is unlikely that a tampon will fall out while swimming. Tampons are designed to stay in place even when you are moving around a lot. They are inserted into the vagina and expand to fit the shape of your vaginal walls. This helps to keep them in place.

However, it is possible for a tampon to fall out if it is not inserted correctly or if it is too small for your vagina. If you are concerned about your tampon falling out, you can try using a larger tampon or inserting it more deeply into your vagina. You can also try wearing a pantyliner or menstrual cup to help keep the tampon in place.

Here are some tips for preventing your tampon from falling out while swimming:

- Choose a tampon that is the right size for your vagina.

- Insert the tampon correctly.

- Wear a pantyliner or menstrual cup to help keep the tampon in place.

- Change your tampon every 4-8 hours.

- Avoid swimming in very rough water.
