Does the period stop in water?

im going swimming,but i have my period=( will it stop in the water? or will it continue and turn the water turn red?...

xo, Sabrinah ♥	Yes it does stop, But only in cold water, in hot water it will continue, for your bodys heat is hot. It normally stops in water because your body is changing temperature and is used to a different environment, causing the cycle to act differently. Mine stops, but i know my friends doesnt. So, you'll probably have to try. Just wear or bring a tampon in case. -Saabrinah.
Joe W	Uh, why would it stop? Does it stop in the bath or shower? Of course it won't stop. This is one of the things tampons are for.
Dazzur	yes the presure inside you is higher than it is in the water so youll be fine
Elanshaw	No..it will stop..but wear a tampon if you're nervous..
Mrs. Lovett	LOL no your period does not realize you are swimming LMAO
Celtic_Goddess	it will still be a period, no matter your enviorment, so put in a tampon or dont go swimming.
Lauren T	Your period won't stop in the water, this is a myth. Use a tampon before you go swimming.
crazymunky20	no it will stop so have fun!!
SHIBA	it wont stop...i thought that when i was younger too
Rachel G	ur period continues no matter where u are, but u can wear a tampon and it wont come out in water, u cant wear a pad though
Kaitie	if you wearing a tampon no one will know. but if not then yes it will go on like usual and everyone will be able to seee all the red.
Queen Bee in Cali	it just depends on the person. Sometimes it stops for me and other times it doesn't. I wouldn't recommend it to avoid embarrassment.
Mikayla	Hi. Yes, it does stop in water! It happened to me when i went swimming; i thought at first something was wrong with me but turns out; its normal! Have fun.
now_girl_04	ok it will not stop u will need to wear tampon u cant wear a pad! or dont go swimming!
Teresa S	If it's necessary, put in a tampon right before you get into the pool. Most people generally avoid swimming at all when on their period, though.
Valerie	take it from me. I am a heavy bleeder, I go swimming when I have my period. I do use a tampon and I do not have any problems. If I did not use a tampon, however, I would be very nervous and would not have a good time because I would be scared of bleeding in the water. Play it safe and use a tampon, that way you can enjoy your swim. Think about it. Do athletes not swim just because they have their periods? I don't think so.
mcrouse59	no it probably won't go to the water unless you're heavy, but it doesn't stop! Use tampons
BFFE♥	it stops
:)smily miley(:	it will continue but u should try wearing a tampon that will do the trick
eobealocwealm	It will most likely continue. (This is why you're not supposed to swim in the ocean on your period; it draws sharks.) You can use a tampon, mind. Oddly enough, when I'm in the tub, my period sort of stops for a bit.
Miss May 31st 2009 Bride!	i use to think the same thing! no it wont stop but it wont turn the water red either, your safe dont worry. just us a tampon and youll be good!
Ladyebony07	no it will not stop. use a tampon if it is a must to go swimming but if you are heavy i advise you to stay away from the water.
Mosie	People say that you are ok in water but im not that comfortable unless i am wearing a tampoon or coming towards the end of period. Its ok while ur in the water but its when u come out, walking around, waiting for shower. I would use a tampoon and put in one fresh rite b4 u into the water...there will be no leaking!
Hope1944	lol. I have heard that it does stop in water-unless its soo much that some of it does drain out. Wear a tampon, they are meant for activities like such! good luck!
Chantelle	If i was youuu id just wear a tampon.!!
BrunetteBabe	In my experience, it always stops or slows down a lot. I dont know why exactly. I would just wear a tampon and not worry about it.
Miss T	it usually stops, and if it doesnt it wont be like jaws showing a big streak of blood, ur swim suit will probably catch it
whatever w	it depends how heavy it is (if you're on your heavy day) wear a tampon if you're worried but it usually disappears and dissolves in water yes, unless its like a gush (gross, i know)
caitlin S	mine does. but when i get out, it starts again.
habibi_101	normally it stops in the water, but if you wnat to go swimming, i suggest wearing a tampon. :) good luck
swimchix20	it stops because of the water pressure. i don't like tampons and I swim alot. It always stops for me, I've never had a problem in the water. The guy who said someting about the shower. The reason it doesn't stop in the shower is because there is no water pressure entering and blocking the flow. Just make sure you run to the locker room the second you get out.
