 [ Symptoms ] does my period stop in water i have been told it does but i read on some websites it does not and i am going an vacation this weekend to a water park so i want to know if i can get in the water thanks [ Disease ] and good for you for asking your menstrual flow does not stop when you go in water to test this theory you can try sitting in a bathtub filled with water you will notice you keep flowing if you do not use tampons you should avoid going in the water during your trip to the water park if you do use tampons then you can enjoy the water like everyone else since the tampon will keep the menstrual flow contained within your vagina do not forget to change your tampon regularly you are right there is a common myth that a woman is period will stop if she goes into water but it is not true you are wise to get the facts take care
