Sorry its a really weird question but health related ! Also going to try posting in exercise.
I have a very severe bladder problem and am dealing with a number of conditions: intersticial cystitis, trigonitis, fowlers syndrome, current stubborn infection, pelvic organ prolapse....
I used to go to the gym but now struggle with most forms of exercise. I really want to swim as it'll support my organs that have prolapsed. But can't afford to risk the chlorine water touching my vagina. It can be a trigger, and indeed I tried it in a uv treated pool (they still use small amounts of chlorine) but had a huge flare afterwards.
So far I've tried buying latex knickers, putting my period leak proof knickers on top of that and some pads. Then swimming costume on top. All soaked right through and horrible flare afterwards.
Does anyone have any suggestions as it felt wonderful to be in the water.
Thank you
