It is not harmful at all. In fact, if you have cramping, warm water from a bath can be very beneficial in relieving cramps.

I think it is very healthy and hygienic to take baths during periods. At least it will give you a chance to properly cleanse yourself and get rid of excess clots and all those nasty stuff. I have done it and it acts like a douche when I am in the tub. I usually use warm water that helps soothe the cramps but when I am through I feel well cleansed. So go ahead and take your bath dear.

Definetly not harmful!! In fact it is better to take a bath while on a period. It works like a douche without all of the harmful chemicals that could make you have to keep using them. While you are in the bath tub to cleanse out the vagina, look down at your vagina in the tub and do kegal exercises. that is where you tighten the muscle down there like if you were trying to hold your pee. notice that when you push it back out, gunk comes out. That is you cleansing yourself naturally. You can also put a little baking soda in you water to help with any cuts or abrasions. That will help the healing process better.

Heck no. I always take baths instead of showers and there is certainly nothing at all wrong with taking a bath during your period (or swimming!). Anyone who says differently is just stupid and believes in old wive's tales. What in the world could possibly happen?

Baths are not any more harmful during a period than it is any other time of the month. No, it's fine.

Women can take baths anytime they want, on periods or off of them. It does not harm you in anyway.

That's an old wive's tale. I heard that back in the 70's.
I bathe like a duck when on mine and I'm okay.
A female might smell bad if she doesn't.

I think it is ok. I occasionally do, it relieves cramp pain and you can relax. I just would not do that alot or for a long time. I heard you can get an infection but i not sure.

No sweetie, sorry to declare yet you won't be able to make your era end over nighttime. And in case you need to "make plans" to hook up then are you somewhat waiting for s.e.x. (in case you havent all started already). appears like "hooking up" is outta the question at this Halloween social gathering. till of path you only kiss and "do him a choose".

please take a bath or shower during your period so you don't have odor. it's an old wive's tale about not bathing or washing your hair.
