Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The first few times you probably won't want to wear a tampon (I didn't wear one until a year later)!. But dancing with a pad is a horrible feeling!. Basically, you feel like you're leaking all the time!. I know I got very self-conscious about it!. However, you may feel perfectly fine dancing in a pad!. I would try that first and then switch to a tampon later on!. Because chances are, at some point, you will have a recital or audition or exam and be on your period!. You won't be able to wear shorts then, and a pad would look so bulky under a costume!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I don't know if there is a strict/set dress code but if you don't already, definitely wear a black leotard!. That takes away a lot of the stress!. As for tampon vs pad, which underwear do you usually wear!? If you wear a thong and that's what you're most comfortable in, then wear a panty liner (if that works) and tampon with your thong!. Otherwise, if you wear boy shorts/bikini cut, then you can easily wear a pad or panty liner and if you want extra protection, I will often wear a pad or panty liner in addition to a tampon!. For even further comfort, why not wear a pair of shorts over your leotard!. Most girls in my class do!. I know this may sound/seem scary, but honestly, once you get used to it, it's really not a big deal!. Remember, you're not the only one to experience this!. The other girls will be there to support you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Ok well i personally like pads better!. I suggest talking to your teacher and asking her if around "that time of the month" if you could wear little knit shorts over your leotard because you'll feel more comfortable!. Our teacher said that was perfectly fine if we did that!. Or you can try tampons!.!.!.i personally dont really like them but alot of people prefer to use them!. Don't worry about it!.!.!.you'll be fine =]Www@QuestionHome@Com do you wear tights!? i take ballet and we have to wear tights and leotards!. tampons can be scary if it's your first time, so i would try a pad!. it should be fine!. you could also wear a ballet skirt or short shorts if they allow those at your dance school!. :D good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com honestly, i dance and play tier 2 soccer!. tampons work wonders, pads are bulky and uncomfortable!. again maybe shorts are a good suggestion, it will make your life so much easier, =) but panty liners just incaseee!. hope that helps,Www@QuestionHome@Com It depends!. The first few times you're not going to want to use tampons!. After you get used to your period, you should start using tampons because they're easier for dancers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com You are young enough to not have had a period!. Talk with your mother and your instructor!. A tampon right away may not be the best idea!. A pad with shorts would probably be a better solution!. Www@QuestionHome@Com your better off with a tampon because with a pad you will always feel like your leaking playtex sports are the best for dancersWww@QuestionHome@Com haha try a tampon or a thin always pad! they work wonders!. good luck with that one!Www@QuestionHome@Com pads are more comfortable!. maybe wear ballet shorts or skirt over the top!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com |
