Can you go to the beach with your period? All about menstrual bikinis

What to keep in mind when bathing with your period

When your period arrives, many of us worry about the possibility of enjoying our favorite activities, such as a nice day at the beach, swimming pool or even a relaxing swim in the sea. Can you go to the beach with your period? The answer is yes. Today, thanks to menstrual bikinis, you can enjoy the water in total comfort, without worries. At Ecowoman, we offer a sustainable, safe and reliable alternative for you to live your menstruation freely, without having to sacrifice your moments of relaxation in the water.

In this guide, you'll discover how menstrual bikinis work, what to consider when choosing the right one, and how to wear them to enjoy the beach or pool without fear of leaks or discomfort.

How do menstrual bikinis work?

Menstrual bikinis are specifically designed to absorb menstrual flow while allowing you to enjoy the water, whether at the beach, in the pool or in a swim. They are made with advanced materials that ensure reliable and discreet protection, without the need for extra tampons or pads. These bikinis feature a special absorbent layer that retains the flow, preventing leakage and allowing you to move freely.

How do they work?

1. Layer 1 - Top layer: In contact with the vagina, it’s breathable, keeps you cool and dry, allowing your skin to breathe.
2. Layer 2 - Absorbent layer™: Developed with powerful innovative microfibers for efficient and fast absorption.
3. Layer 3 - Anti-leak layer: This layer acts as a shield against leaks, guaranteeing total protection, even in water.
4. Layer 4 - Waterproof layer: Ultra-fast drying layer designed to hold all layers together for unmatched comfort.

Thanks to these innovative layers, the menstrual bikini allows you to enjoy the water in a calm and natural way.

How much do menstrual bikinis absorb?

The amount of flow that menstrual bikinis can absorb varies depending on the model and the flow of each woman. At Ecowoman, we design menstrual bikinis with high absorbency to fit different needs. Depending on your flow, you can choose from options that offer light, medium or heavy absorbency.

In general, menstrual bikinis can absorb from 1 to 2 tampon capacity, which equals between 10 and 15 ml of flow, depending on the day of your cycle. This is enough for you to enjoy your time in the water without the need for constant changes.

It is important to note that while menstrual bikinis offer excellent protection, they may not be suitable for extremely heavy flows throughout the day. For those days, you may want to combine the bikini with another protective option, such as menstrual panties.

Is it possible to bathe with my period?

The answer is a resounding yes. Menstrual bikinis allow you to bathe with your period without having to worry about menstrual flow. They are specifically designed to hold your flow safely while you soak in the water. The key is to choose the right bikini for your flow and make sure you wear it correctly.

Remember that, unlike tampons, menstrual bikinis do not absorb seawater or pool water, as they have a waterproof layer that blocks the passage of liquids into the interior. This means you can enjoy the water with complete peace of mind.

What bikini to wear if I have my period?

When choosing the perfect menstrual bikini for your period, there are several factors to consider:

1. Menstrual flow: If your flow is light, you can opt for a light flow menstrual bikini. If it is moderate or abundant, choose a model with greater absorption capacity.
2. Shape and style: Menstrual bikinis come in various designs and styles, from simple to elaborate. Choose the one that best suits your personal preferences and what makes you feel comfortable.
3. Comfort: Make sure your menstrual bikini fits well and doesn't slip or move around while you move in the water. Proper fit is key to avoid leaks.
