Colored swimsuit during clean days

If I want to go swimming during the shiva nekiyim, is it permitted to do this wearing a coloured (nonwhite) bathing suit?

Asking every month about similar colors

Hi and thanks again for a wonderful resource.
I've been married 8 months and almost every month so far I've taken a bedika cloth to a yoetzet, usually a hefsek tahara or first day check which is brown, and almost always she has ruled that it is ok.<...

Specks on bedikot, hargashah, and OCD

I really struggle with OCD when it comes to niddah issues. I just find this mitzvah very overwhelming. I have tried my best to make things easier (got a heter to do less bedikos) and I have a rabbi that I email OCD questions to but things still creep up.<...

Cannot get through seven clean days

I am 57 years old. I have been having a rough year with my periods. Over a year ago, I began having bleeding that persisted for weeks at a time. I received medication to slow the bleeding. It happened a few times over the year. I went for tests and biopsi...

Doctor saw blood on cervix

I am 51 years old and in perimenopause. I am on the second day of my clean days and did a bedikah this morning without a problem.
I had an endometrial biopsy this morning because of some irregular and exten...

Light brown staining after period

I understand that light brown spotting is generally okay and does not render a woman a Niddah (especially if it is not found on a bedika and is smaller than a gris, but rather on underwear).
The way my cycle works is that near the end of my period I...

Stains smaller than a dime

During the shiva nekiim, if you see something of questionable color on your underwear smaller than size of dime it's fine? Or do you always need to show it to a Rav?

Evaluating size of stain

I am having trouble calculating and understanding what a "gris" is, when a stain is not in a perfect circle. I am in my 7 clean days and just got 2 small-ish red spots – which normally does not happen – so I am hoping it is a stain but don't k...

Latest time for morning bedikah

Hello,
What is the latest time one can do a morning bedika? I know the time starts from netz (sunrise), but how long do I have to still be considered morning?
Thank you.

Checking toilet paper in clean days

I have had a lot of trouble with spotting since starting the combination pill and am struggling to get 7 clean days. I was given a heter from my Rabbi to do a hefsek, check days 1 and 7 and another day in the middle.
I understand that if you wipe wi...

Light brown on bedikah

Thank you for this amazing website: I am on day 3 of my clean days. I have not had any staining on my underwear and have no indication of bleeding. When I did a bedika, I got light brown mucus on it. It was not red in color, but medium to light brown mixe...

White sheets required?

As a kalla, I learnt that during the shivah nekiim, it is proper to use white bed linen.
Is this halacha, or is there room to move on this "rule"?
(We are moving apartments, where the bed sizes are di...
