Swimming with a vagina

[Catworrier]

So I went swimming the other day. And please excuse the tmi but I seemed to gather water in my va-jingo.

Doing breast stroke and I didn't notice at the time until I got out of the pool and it felt like my waters had broken again.

Luckily it wasn't noticeable as water was running off me as I got out of the pool. But it's pretty gross. I think??

I have never noticed this! I suppose it stands to reason that it could happen though.

I bet my pelvic floor muscles aren’t strong enough to hold it all in until the moment of whoosh...

Yep. Happens to me too

I never get it in the bath. It's although the breaststroke pulls water in when I move my legs, never happened before birth. And I honestly thought I was the only one.

So that's reassuring but now I'm totally grossed out by the amount of fanny pool water there is!!!!!

@RonnieScotts exactly my thought!!! It's totally gross!!

Considerably less gross (IMHO) than all the poo and sweat particles floating around in the pool because very few people shower properly before getting in, at best a few seconds splash when already in your swimmies.

Just to put it into context and we don’t all fall into the eww vaginas are gross stereotype!

Only happens to me when doing fast(ish) breaststroke.

In response to all the hygiene complaints, this is why the pool is chlorinated?

Not specifically for fanny water, but all the other things too!

gross. Never had this happen, currently pregnant with my first and swim a lot so hope this doesn't happen after- swimming pool hygiene makes me feel a bit queasy at the best of times

I'm an adult with two vaginally birthed children and I would be as surprised as the OP if this ever happened to me.

@SayNoToCarrots
Amen sister!!!
Freaked the hell out of me!!

Happens to me since having 3rd child.

Well , thanks for all this, people. Just got back from swimming and am eating breakfast. Well, I was...

I never even dreamed this was a thing!

That's your own lookout. If the thread has 'vagina' in the title, maybe don't read it while eating if you're squeamish?

Headline made me laugh
responses making me laugh

cheers

Sorry OP as I'm not going to answer your question but the phrasing of the title made me chortle.
Does a vagina swim alongside you pulsing like a big squid?

I've had 3 vaginal births and ignorance was bliss...I am now never going to swim and therefore afflict my vageegee swishing or whatever it's called on anyone, ever again!!

Not bothered about the vagina reference, just the reminder re bodily fluids!

What ever you do avoid flumes!

I always get this after a bath (good old afterbath) and have ever since I can remember but rarely after swimming now I think about it! I do mostly swim crawl though.

This used to happen to me very rarely after a bath - since having a DCs every time! Not after swimming though funnily enough.

Blimey, who knew! I’ve had four dc, been on flumes many a time, bath daily...and this is a new one on me!

Surely that can't be good for the PH levels in your vagina!?! Swimming pool water has bleach as baths have soaps etc!?

Well that’s put me off swimming for life! Who knew I’d been swimming in other people’s fanny gushings all this time!
