Bathing during a period

Recently heard a rumour online that it's no problem to have a bath on your period as the water stops blood flow (no tampon required).

Never worked for me. AIBU this must be an old wives tale?

YABU - Yes this can and does happen.
YANBU - Sounds bonkers.

I didn't say there's anything wrong with baths during a period @Demilei - great for relieving cramping! However, I do still need to use tampons or it would look like a crime scene - not very relaxing!

Yes mine usually stops in the bath. Even if it didn't I'd still be having a bath.
