People who menstruate and swim usually go with tampons, menstrual cups, or menstrual discs, since pads aren't made for being submerged. Tampons are the most common pick because they're easy to insert right before you get in and toss when you get out, and an organic cotton option like Rael's Organic Cotton Tampons works well if you prefer a fragrance-free, synthetic-free cover. Some swimmers double up with period swimwear for extra peace of mind on heavier days. Whatever you choose, insert fresh right before swimming, change soon after, and pick the absorbency that actually matches your flow that day.
