Yes, breast pads can be worn when swimming in the ocean, pool, or hot tub.
While breast pads are traditionally used to absorb leaks, particularly by breastfeeding mothers, some may choose to wear them for other reasons while swimming, such as for shape or modesty.
Using Breast Pads While Swimming
Here are some key considerations:
-
Type of Breast Pad: Silicone breast pads are generally recommended for swimming.
-
Suitability: According to the reference, to prevent the silicone pad from slipping out during swimming, it is recommended to wear them in a bathing suit with pockets or a double lining.
- A bathing suit with pockets is ideal as it provides secure placement.
- Double-lined suits offer extra support to help keep pads in place.
-
Security: Regardless of the swimsuit, ensure the breast pads fit snugly to avoid them moving around during water activities.
-
Purpose: Consider why you're using breast pads while swimming. Are you aiming for modesty, enhanced shape, or leak protection? This will help you choose the right type and placement.
