Swimming on your period should be easy. That’s the whole point of period swimwear. But if your flow is on the heavier side, you might have already discovered something many people don’t talk about. Most period swimsuits are designed for light to moderate flow. That means they’re great for spotting days or lighter parts of your cycle, but they may not hold up if your period is heavier.
So what do you do if you have a heavier flow and still want to swim without worrying about leaks?
At Nickeze, we’ve been listening to our customers and testing what really works. The truth is that even the best period swimwear has its limits. It’s not about the quality of the product. It’s about how absorbent fabric can be while still functioning in water. Water dilutes blood quickly, and if your flow is heavier, you need more than one layer of protection.
That’s where layering comes in.
If you’ve got a heavier flow, our top recommendation is to wear Nickeze Seamless Bikini Bottoms under your period swimsuit. They’re absorbent, ultra-comfortable and invisible under the suit. Together, they give you the extra backup you need so you can move freely in the water without worrying about leaks.
Another great option is to wear Nickeze Period Swim Shorts over your period swimsuit. These are ideal for teens or anyone who prefers extra coverage. They’re discreet, stylish and designed for those heavier flow days when one layer just isn’t enough.
These double-layer solutions are giving real confidence to girls and women who thought swimming during their period just wasn’t an option. Whether you’re heading to the pool, the beach or a swim class, you deserve to feel protected and comfortable every single day of your cycle.
So if your period is heavier, don’t give up on swimming. Just layer smart.
Final tip
Always rinse your swimwear and period underwear in cold water after use and line dry them to keep the absorbency at its best. With the right care, they’ll last and stay leak-proof cycle after cycle.
