As we are all unique in our own way, the same can be said of our periods and daily changes in period flow.  To better understand the absorbency of our products with your flow, we recommend wearing your MYSS purchase at home in and out of the pool or shower/bath to figure out what works best for you. If you have a heavier flow we recommend using our swimwear as an added backup, however on lighter days our swimwear is great worn alone.

Know your flow:

A LIGHT FLOW = 1 regular tampon, 1 teaspoon or 5ml liquid

with a light flow our swimwear is suitable for spotting, drips and light discharge without wearing additional backup

A MODERATE FLOW = 2 regular tampons, 2 teaspoons or 10ml liquid

With a moderate flow, your wear time is reduced, we suggest checking the absorbency of your garment more regularly, and if you feel you need additional backup, please wear your regular sanitary products as well.

A MODERATE to HEAVY FLOW = 2+ Tampons 

For heavy flow days we recommend wearing our swimwear as a backup only with your regular sanitary products ( Tampons or menstrual cups/disc)

Our swimwear is designed and made as a period safe product.

The three layered gusset in our garment works to trap and absorb blood and discharge while you swim. The bottom layer of our garments have a water proof layer added to it to stop water from coming into the swimsuit.

To better understand the absorbency and leak protection of our products with your flow, we recommend wearing your MYSS purchase at home in and out of the pool or shower/bath to figure out what works best for you.

Our gusset can hold up to 10 ml liquid; 2 regular tampons before we recommend changing, however please monitor your swimsuit regularly when wearing it as your flow can unexpectedly change at times.

How long it will take your swimwear to reach maximum absorbency is different for each person and their period. To better understand the absorbency and leak protection of our products with your flow, we recommend wearing your MYSS purchase at home in and out of the pool or shower/bath to figure out what works best for you.

We do not advertise our product as a complete replacement for other sanitary products.
