Can I take a bath or shower?
Absolutely! You can even wash more often during your period, to help you feel more comfortable and relaxed. Avoid using vaginal douches. Gentle soap and water are enough to prevent odors. You don’t need to scrub harder than usual. Take it easy. When you’re finished, put a pad in your panties right away to avoid little accidents. You can also use the Incognito intimate cleansing cloths to help you feel fresh throughout the day.

Taking a bath or swimming in a pool generally stops the bleeding. This is simply the way the body works. The pressure of the water acts as a barrier, so the blood is not able to come out of the vagina. But remember that when coming out of the pool or the bath, bleeding resumes. Wearing a tampon could be a good solution to avoid embarrassing situations. Taking a shower usually won’t stop menstruation.

why is it that when I do take a shower or bath my period stops completely. I will only follow with brown spotting the following day?
