Do the periods stop when we dive, or do we feel that it happens?

If we're bringing back sad memories when you left for fun on the beach, surprise, period came, we're very sorry, but we have to clear up a myth.

We have often heard that seawater stops periods, but how true is this? According to Natasa Ramsey, specialist doctor and one of the members of the app board “Orchyd” (for tracking periods) these don't stop in the water, even though it may seem so.

Your body still releases menstruation, even when you're underwater. However, under water pressure may slow down the flow”.
So, you don't have as much as when you're in normal, on the couch, watching movies.

However, if you are in your early days, we suggest a tampon, and do not let your periods spoil your vacation!
