Can you take showers or baths on your period?

Soso answered

Yes, absolutely! You can totally take showers or baths whenever you want during your period. It's actually a really good way to feel fresh and clean.

Some people actually feel more relaxed if they take a warm bath when they have cramps, because the warm water can help soothe them a bit. Just make sure to use plain water or gentle soap down there. You don't want to mess with your body's natural balance.

If you're worried about period blood in the shower, don't be. It'll just wash right down the drain, and it's totally normal. Just rinse the tub or shower after, easy peasy. Taking care of your hygiene is extra important when you have your period, and showers and baths are perfect for that.
