Alright so it should be time for me to get my period pretty soon this month (I've had it before and this is around the time I get it) but I haven't gotten it yet this month and I'm going swimming on Saturday and is it possible to get it while your swimming?? Like, will it start when I'm swimming?

^wow haha
yeah swimming pretty much stops it from coming out unless it's extremely heavy or something. just to stay on the safe side why not wear a tampon.

I know for a fact it
doesn't always stop when you go in water, so don't rely on that option. Like DrEaMgUy2K1 said, wear a tampon to be safe. That should solve your problem

how would it infect her leg? wouldnt it only affect her vagina and fallopian tubes? she probably wuld just en up not being able to have kids.

i'm pretty sure technology is good enough to not have to cut off someone's leg just because they got a virus.
i hear it stops in the water too, but i'm not that sure.

Yeah, they had to cut out my eyeball due to an infection caused by a virus that had affected my reproductive system.

that isn't true. it might make it seem like it stops it but it doesn't. you barely bleed during your period, actually. i forget the exact measurement but it's nothing.

as far as I know... it wouldn't come out. Because of the pressure of water or something (I'm a medic-in-training they told us about this stuff)... but just to be safe... wear a tampon. I swam when I had my period last week, nothing came out...
