How do you bath when you are on your period?

[isitjustifyable]

My family home had a separate shower unit, and my whole life I used that. I moved out a few years ago and we put a shower unit in because I hate baths.

My shower has broke, and the time has come 🤣

Is there a method? I bleed so heavily there seems no logical way of doing this. (There is no shower attachment in the bath)

Just after any obvious (or not so obvious) advice please!

Bath with a tampon in?

I don't though and it never seems to have been a problem that I can recall.

Like you would at any other time?

If your shower is broken, you might want to take a jug in to wash your hair with water from the tap (no bubbles or other products in it) and you can use it to rinse off too.

You might find your flow slows down in the bath.

I bleed heavy and just bathe as normal. In my 30+ years of menstruating I've never yet bled into the bath (and I'm someone who has to fashion extra sanitary protection out of cloths because my flow is so heavy)

Just have a bath as you would any other time of the month...use a jug to get clean water to rinse hair off

I bathe as normal. Might have the odd bit escaping if I’m very heavy, but it’s no problem.

You don't really bleed in the bath. Something to do with the pressure?

Just as normal. I don't bath any differently when on my period.

Yeah. I've very heavy periods but don't bleed in the bath. Helps with the pain too

Fill bath with water to your preferred depth/temperature.
Get in bath.

I get in the bath as normal. If I am heavy I generally wear a tampon, but sometimes not.

Never had any problems with baths. The water seemed to ‘pause’ the period. Just carry on as normal.

Just bath... or if you really think you'll bleed use a tampon.

I have bled in the bath so just wear a tampon :)
How do you go swimming?

Tampon, because while you may not notice the bleeding when lying down, once you get up you can ruin towels quite fast.

Dark towel and pad and pants ready for when you get out?

Fill bath with water to your preferred depth/temperature. Get in bath.

This exactly .

I’ve never bled in the bath for some reason, and I have very heavy days. Be prepared to gush when you stand up though.

Tampon.

As normal. I just don’t wash my hair in it.

I bathe during period and don't bleed in the bath 🛀

Put the plug in. Turn the tap. Fill bath. Check temp. Get in.

I put the plug in, run the bath and get in, just like normal. It's never been an issue for me when I did still have periods.

Bath, no issues

We didn't have a shower for years...It was never a problem. Only had a bath, with a ''Cow milker attachment thing for the taps for rinsing hair.

Only have a shower now, and it's much better though.
You'll be fine.

With a tampon in.
