Yes.

Many women believe that taking a bath during your period can cause illness. There are women and girls among us who have never taken a bath during their period since childhood.

It has not been scientifically proven that taking a bath during your period causes illness. This is stated in the school’s Grade 7 Health and Physical Education textbook.

We can dispel such myths through awareness. After the awareness campaigns we have conducted with women and children in the Ibbagamuwa Batalagoda Lake area for 4 years, many people now do not avoid taking a bath during their period.

“I was afraid to take a bath, no matter how much I sweat, I never take a bath, I was afraid that something might happen if I got cold? After knowing the truth, I lost my fear. Now I take a bath every day. Because of the cup, I can drown even in the lake.”
