Balanced and Empowering

Mental and emotional well-being

For Kids & Teens Who Menstruate:

1. Reduces anxiety around swimming and social situations
Many kids dread swimming during their period—not just because of physical discomfort, but because of fear. Fear of leaks, fear of being judged, fear of being the only one sitting out. Period-proof swimwear removes a lot of that worry, helping them feel more in control and less self-conscious.

2. Solves the tampon problem
Tampons are often marketed as the only option for swimming on your period, but they’re not realistic—or safe—for everyone. Many younger kids can’t or don’t want to use tampons due to their age, difficulty inserting them, or concerns around health and comfort. Period-proof swimwear offers a body-friendly, stress-free alternative.

3. Promotes body positivity and self-esteem
Wearing swimwear that looks just like everyone else’s (but has discreet built-in protection) allows girls to feel stylish, confident, and included—rather than awkward or different.

4. Encourages participation instead of isolation
No more missing pool parties, swim meets, or beach trips because of a period. When kids can keep doing what they love, their mood, social confidence, and mental health all benefit.

For Parents:

1. Reduces stress and logistical juggling
Managing a child’s period—especially when they’re young—can be overwhelming. Tampons often aren’t an option, and other products aren’t designed for the water. Period-proof swimwear provides a reliable, reusable solution that minimizes the stress and makes outings way easier.

2. Gives peace of mind
Knowing your child is protected, comfortable, and not feeling left out or embarrassed takes a huge weight off parents’ shoulders.

3. Supports open, positive conversations
Introducing products like Tally Swim can spark healthy, empowering conversations about periods, health, and body autonomy—helping to remove stigma and build trust.

Health

Tally Swim is so much healthier for your body.  Disposable menstrual products can cause irritation, allergies, dryness, and discomfort due to chemicals, fragrances, and synthetic materials. Tampons pose a risk for Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) if used incorrectly. They may also cause skin irritation from adhesives or chemicals like dioxins and can lead to leaks or stains.

Tally Swim absorbent padding is made from natural, breathable fibres like bamboo and recycled materials, promoting better skin health and reducing irritation. The leak-proof design offers reliable protection without the need for inserting foreign objects into your body.

Plus, it’s reusable and contributes to the circular economy.

Environment

Tally Swim helps reduce waste by eliminating the need for single-use items such as tampons, pads, and panty liners. These disposable products can take hundreds of years to break down in landfills, contributing to environmental pollution. By choosing Tally Swim, you’re not only caring for your body, but also making a more sustainable choice that benefits the planet!
