Period Proof Swimwear
Never skip a swim on your period again. Period swimwear is a swimsuit with absorbent lining built into the gusset, giving you protection in and out of the water with nothing extra to wear or adjust. This collection includes girls and womens period swimsuits made from chlorine resistant fabrics, ready for training, lessons and beach days alike.
What is period swimwear?
Period swimwear is a swimsuit designed for swimming during your period. An absorbent, quick-drying layer is sewn into the gusset of the suit, providing discreet period protection while you swim, so you never have to miss pool time or squad training.
How does period swimwear work?
The absorbent gusset lining is hidden inside the suit, so there are no visible lines and nothing shifts in the water. Funkita period styles use an absorbent gusset as part of their secure, fully-lined construction, while Speedo's Freedom Period swimsuit provides absorbency equivalent to up to four regular tampons. On lighter days the suit is enough on its own; on heavier days many swimmers pair it with a tampon or menstrual cup and use the suit as backup.
Why wear period swimwear?
- Swim on your period with confidence — protection that's built in, not visible
- Freedom to train — no missing lessons, squad sessions or carnivals
- No visible lines — nothing to hide or adjust, in or out of the water
- Chlorine resistant fabrics — durable enough for regular pool use, season after season

Do I need to wear anything under period swimwear?
No underwear is needed, the absorbent lining is built into the gusset. On heavier days, many swimmers combine their period swimsuit with a tampon or menstrual cup for extra capacity and rely on the suit as backup protection.
