Can I wear wet suit during my period?

It is generally not recommended to wear a wet suit during your period, as it can be uncomfortable and may increase the risk of infection. Wet suits are designed to keep water out, which can trap moisture and bacteria against the skin, creating a warm, humid environment that is ideal for bacterial growth. This can increase the risk of infections such as yeast infections and urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Additionally, the tight fit of a wet suit can put pressure on the abdomen and pelvic area, which can cause discomfort during menstruation. If you do choose to wear a wet suit during your period, it is important to change out of it as soon as possible afterwards and shower thoroughly to remove any moisture or bacteria. You should also avoid wearing a wet suit for extended periods of time, and take breaks to dry off and change if necessary.

Here are some alternatives to wearing a wet suit during your period:

* Use a menstrual cup or tampon to collect menstrual flow. These can be worn discreetly under a wet suit and provide good protection against leaks.

* Wear a leak-proof swimsuit or bikini bottom that is designed for swimming during menstruation. These are made from materials that are water-resistant and breathable, and can help to keep moisture and bacteria away from the skin.

* Avoid swimming during your period if you are experiencing heavy flow or discomfort.
