And the alternative? The wonderful pad, an ingenious take on the child's diaper, designed to siphon the red river's stream! Okay, so menstrual accessories aren't exactly the most romantic products, but I think I've gone a pretty good job making them seem more poetic than they are, sarcasm aside.
Aside from them being you know, the source of all life, periods are kind of sucky, and they're not made much better by either having to openly bleed into a napkin or shove a phallic cotton bud up yourself.
There's got to be a better way. But until someone kinds one, we're stuck with what we've got. As Winston Churchill famously said "Tampons aren't perfect menstrual contraptions, but they're the best we've got. Eventually, you get used to them. So used to them they become like an annoying co-worker you gossip and complain about at happy hour with your girlfriends while everyone nods along to say "I know EXACTLY what you're talking about.
Urine comes out of your urethra, which is connected to your bladder. But, you might be wondering, what happens if I get pee on the string? Nothing really, but if the thought of walking around with a pee-soaked tampon string has too much of an ick factor for you, just hold the string to the side and out of the way when you pee. Problem solved. Insert eye roll emoji here. For the record, this has been debunked by numerous scientists. But, a lot of you have other valid concerns that if you go swimming with a tampon in that you might wind up leaking in the water.
The good news is, because tampons are specifically designed to absorb period flow before it can leave your body, tampons are excellent for swimming in any kind of water. Yup, same thing here as swimming. Tampax tampons have a LeakGuard Braid to help stop leaks before they happen, so you can wash your body - including your vaginal area - normally without worrying about bleeding on your newly clean self.
While it would come in handy, alas this question is a no. Water does not stop your period from happening. Again, it depends on the individual. Hagan says a displaced tampon doesn't necessarily mean you're pushing too hard. It depends on your anatomy and how you're situated internally.
But the tampon might not be to blame for all the tummy troubles that happen at the same time as periods. In fact, people frequently experience issues with bowel functions around the time of their period, and it often lasts for a few days, as noted by the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders. Constipation is a common issue around that time of the month, and it can make pooping more painful and difficult to pass, as explained by WebMD.
Basically, periods can wreck havoc on your digestive system all on their own. But you don't have to just suffer through it, because there are plenty of ways to make going to the bathroom on your period less terrible.
Staying well hydrated, taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug NSAID for pain relief, and engaging in moderate exercise can all help manage the bowel issues , as explained in Everyday Health. But if you'd rather curl up on the couch with a heating pad instead of go out for a jog, well, that's fine too.
Warmth is also helpful for pain associated with periods and bowel issues.
