is it okay if i wear a BLACK bathing suit to go swimming? my flo is VERY light

Soso answered

Yes, totally! A black bathing suit is a great choice for swimming when your flow is light, or really any time you have your period. The dark color helps a lot, just in case you have any little leaks.

Even with a super light flow, it's a good idea to still use some kind of period product when you're swimming. A tampon or a menstrual cup works really well because they go inside your body, so nothing gets wet or shows. If you're not into those, period swimwear is an option too – it has a built-in liner that absorbs flow and helps keep leaks from happening.

But for real, if your flow is super light, like almost nothing, and you're wearing black? You're probably going to be just fine. Just pick what makes you feel the most comfy and confident, because that's what actually matters.
