Question: Female Dancers PLEASE HELP! Girl Problem!.!.!.!?
I dance 5 times a week, and as a teenager i obviously have my period!. Well i am REALLY paranoid about bleeding through my tights while wearing a tampon, and guess what, of course it happens to me tonight!. It wasn't terribly visible, but REALLY visible when i lift my leg, for lets say an arabesque or developpe!.!.!. which we were doing alot of :(

So my main question is, is there any really good tampon in which dancers use that won't overflow, leak etc!. Is There a certain brand, absorbancy, or type perhaps :)

Other Info:
We are not allowed to wear skirts or shorts, or any type of clothing!. Just strict ballet, tights, leotard, and bun!.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

the sport ones work amazing!! you could also add a panty liner!.
and im sure all the girls there know what you're going through!. so if you start to show a little, its probable that no one will notice or care!.
so dont worry so much! have fun- thats what dancing is all about!
ive been dancing for 13 years!. im a 15 year old who has gone through the same!.!.!.
but the girls at my studio are like a family!. so good luck!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

ok same problem here so don't worry!. i usually use Tampax sports!. they work miracles but make sure after a heavy dance class to change!. along with this if your ballet studio allows you wear transitional black tights great fashion statement and reinsurance if your still worried about leaking!. so yeah that's what i use but be careful cause they can get priceyWww@QuestionHome@Com

whenever i have that problem i just wear black undies and a pad, but i don't use a tampon!. and i never leak so, it works for me!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Have you tried wearing a thin liner as well as the tampon!? That should help absorb any overflow, and shouldn't be visible through your tights and leotard at all!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
