How do you bath yourself when you on your period?

Question

My mom says i dont suppose to take showers when im on but it relieve pain and stress so i just wanted to know what yall do

Answer

I usually shower but if my cramps are bad I'll take a bath. Your flow usually stops (for the most part) in water so you're usually fine to just sit there in the bath. And when cramps really hurt I don't care about the blood I just want to feel better.

Answer

Just shower. Or take a bath. Neither one will hurt you or cause issues...

Answer

Ummmm...what?  Why wouldn't you be able to shower/take a bath like usual?

Answer

I am a nurse and I can't think of any reason why a shower would physically harm you during your period. I would say do whichever makes you feel better, you'll be fine.

Answer

Why would you not be able to shower...?? That makes no sense at all. Of course you can shower. A little gross if you don't actually.

Answer

Why wouldnt you bathe yourself? Thats just getting dirty by blood and causing more problems for infection. Definitely shower.
