Yes, it's supposed to raise pH to swim in a pool and the ocean may have sodium and may affect pH. What I would do is just use my RepHresh the entire time and it will keep that pH down.

They sell it in any drugstore and even at some grocery stores here. Also you can get it from Amazon if you're embarrassed buying it in person.

I'm sure people have conceived girls on holidays while going swimming in the pool and ocean!! Would it be a bad idea to put a tampon in?? would that avoid water from getting in there?

First of all you shoudl NEVER use a tampon when not on your period at all ever because you can DIE from toxic shock syndrome. Secondly, if anything it seems to me that the tampon would only absorb water rather than keep it out. So I will go onto a limb and say, yes, bad idea! ;)

I totally agree that plenty of girls have been conceived on vacations and after swimming. In fact Nicole Kidman's daughter was conceived after swimming in the ocean. I think this is def. in the arena of overthinking a sway. Shoot some RepHresh up there (heck, you can even use the RepHresh every day if it makes you feel better)!!

You know what...I'm just gonna go and not even worry about anything. I will be back right at the start of Aug and my attempt is not for a couple weeks after i get back.....I'm just gonna assume everything is back to normal in that region!

No tampon for me either......totally didn't think about toxic shock!!!

:agree: I hope you have a wonderful time!!!!!
