Guest guest Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Has any of you ladies with vulvodynia been able to go swimming in a pool with clorine? I've set out 4xs and it's time for us to get ours up and running. I'm thinking I won't be able to do this without setting myself on fire.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hey Lee Ann,I've used Desitin on my skin. It creates a good barrier and hasn't caused me any problems with irritation.~Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I have a below ground swimming pool. It does not bother me. We put the minimum amount of chemicals in it to keep it clean. Now the pool at the high school is a different story. They have SO much chorine and other chemicals in it both my kids come home with rashes and awful acne the entire quarter they have swimming.There are also other alternatives other than chlorine to keep a pool clean.Blueeberri BlueeberriGet trade secrets for amazing burgers.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I can swim fine in pools with chlorine but my skin is not the main cause of my problems. Is it possible to keep your pool clean with peroxide? Or can you use some of those chemicals they use in hot tubs? > > Has any of you ladies with vulvodynia been able to go swimming in a pool with clorine?
