    Yes you can but it may be a little messy. If you are going to take a bath while on your period at least use a tampon.

    Having baths with salts and bubble can be a little bit problematic though because is irritates the vagina and can cause UTIs and infections (your period doesn't have anything to do with this though). It has never happened to me, but I know of others who it has happened to.

    Hope this helped!

    You can. But I would wear a tampon if you're going to do that. I personally don't like to take baths when I'm on my period I prefer to take showers. But it's a matter of personal preference I suppose. But again, I would wear a tampon otherwise you'll be bathing in water mixed with your period blood. Yuck! :)
