3 Shocking Mistakes Choosing Swimwear When On Period?
So, you've managed to find your way here.... Not surprised! when you google period swimwear I am sure you come across acclaimed swimwear brands boasting about how "leek proof", "comfortable" and "discreet" their swimwear is, I'm not 100% sure that adding an extra liner is going to prevent you having any issues whilst your down the beach or chilling poolside only to notice your white shorts have a red spot! don't worry I have been there! and I am here to help...

Don't choose white!
I mean this one is pretty self-explanatory and rule number 1, white is not your fan when on your period. In saying that, I admire you for trusting your tampon or period cup whilst wearing that "leak proof" swimsuit you just purchased but I mean if your planning on spending the day near the water and don't pack a backup, I would highly recommend black! Ivree Boutiques durable yet flattering Delilah One-Piece or Lila Top and Lila Bottom set is our recommendation, they are both super comfy and timeless selections, pair the One-Piece with your favourite midi skirt and a pair of heels to take you from day-time casual to a night out on the town!.

You just spent $140 on a skimpy bikini set for that tropical vacation?
There's a time and place for Brazilian bikini bottoms and when you are on your period, it ain't it! I have definitely been in multiple situations feeling myself in a nice cheeky-cut bottom, only to notice when I get home I have a lovely contrasted white string hanging between my legs. Yes, this is true and No, I didn't mind but it's not exactly the most flattering thing to spend the day with. Not to mention, if you plan on not entering the water and just lounging around wearing a pad all day, it's not going to hide those bulky white folds. In this situation say hello to the Willson One-Piece, not only is it super sexy but can be adjusted for moderate coverage to allow for that pad or hiding those tampon strings, this is tried an tested, thanks to my postpartum endeavours. The front coverage acts like a One-Piece to allow you to hide that period bloating and when it's all over you haven't wasted your money on an unflattering bikini to get you through! WIN - You have high expectations of yourself....
Look we have all been there, you don't feel yourself, your bloated, your super emotional but luckily this is not the time to be harsh on yourself. Don't let the small things get on top of you, you are a super woman and not alone. If you have had to refuse your friends for drinking poolside take the time to breath, have some self-love and pamper time, pour yourself hot cuppa or if that's not your thing a nice red wine and soak in the bath, once you get out turn on your favourite movie and have some me time. RELAX! if you're a mumma like me, I know this does not happen as often as you would like and nor is there time for this but once you've gotten the kiddies down for the night, have a nice shower, wash your hair and do your evening skincare routine, trust me, it's not much but it makes you feel like a new woman in under 20 minutes!
