Period swimwear

My DD is getting on really well with period pants. Due to her additional needs she struggled with sanitary towels so the pants have been a godsend.
she loves swimming and doesn’t want to use tampons. Can anyone recommend a swimming costume for her please?

My DD has the modibodi one.

Also bought some period swimwear bikini bottoms and she wore them underneath her normal costume. They were from Primark

@Comedycook was the bikini underneath obvious or did it work okay? I'm debating doing this for when I take my youngest to his swimming class as I don't get on with tampons. Though I haven't tried them since having my children. Just don't want to get out of the pool and have blood run down my leg!

Didn’t know primark did swimwear bikini bottoms. This could work very well under her swimming costume. Will take a look thank you

I buy the swimming costume where the legs are shorts rather than high cut...so you can't see the bikini bottoms underneath. Worked fine.

It's a bit hit and miss whether they have them in stock I find...I also bought a pair from Amazon though.

Thanks @Comedycook I'll give it a try. My costume is pretty low cut anyway so should be fine with some swim bottoms underneath

Yep, ModiBodi

DD just used Modibodi bikini bottoms on holiday, she paired them with a black bikini top she already has. They look like normal bikini bottoms so she didn't wear anything over them. She has the swimsuit too but prefers separates abroad.
