No, it doesn't stop. The muscles in that area tend to tense up a bit more in water so it holds it in better, but it would not be wise to be on swim team without the use of tampons, I don't think.

No, it doesnt stop in water. I wear tampons when I swim. If you are uncomforable with them-there are different sizes out there-especially O.B. There are all kinds. All you need to do is use them when you swim, during your periods. You wont have to use them too often. Otherwise, there is nothing more gross or more embarrasing than seeing period discharge in the water.

I dont think water stops it...then every girl would just sit in water when their on their rag. Well at least I've never heard of that. You should really get used to using a tampon. They work Wonders!

Have you tried using a tampon when you have a heavy flow day?
Think about it. Why would being in a swimming pool cause your uterine lining to stop shedding?

If you don't know for sure, use a tampon. Save yourself the embarrassment of leaving a blood trail. They are really much more comfortable than pads anyway.

For me it slows down a lot. I can go in the water without a tampon unless it's my first day or I'm having heavy flow.

It does not stop in water!
Wear a tampon while swimming--or risk great embarrassment!

no dont be silly, the only way to swim in water is with a tampon, if you dont feel comfortable using one, you must'nt have it in properly because you shouldnt be able to feel it

Yes once you get in the water your bleeding stops but when you get out go straight to the bathroom and put something on.
