it's that time of the month again for me and i had a question about tampons. i use them all the time, but they always seem to leak so i have to wear a pad with them too. i would get bigger sizes, but they're too big for me. well i'm on the track team at my school and we hafta wear runderwear, bun huggers, whatever you call them, and a pad is too obvious, so do u have any suggestions on how to get my tampon to stop leaking? thanks so much - i rate! p.s. if this helps i use tampax pearl

god doesnt it suck to be a girl sometimes? Okay well basically make sure to change your tampon right before the track meet. the type doesnt really matter although Playtex works really well for me. Anyway and for extra support wear a ultra-thin panty liner... it just helps catch anything unwanted :)
hope everything goes well [ myLoveForYou's advice column | Ask myLoveForYou A Question ]

Unless its uncomfortable to run with the pad, i say just go with it. Or, wear the tampon for your heat, and then go to the bathroom and put a pad on for the remainder of the meet.
Its a pain in the ass, but it mite be worth it. [ BlairDotCom's advice column | Ask BlairDotCom A Question ]
Karen answered Wednesday April 27 2005, 2:54 pm: I use Tampax Pearl tampons also and they never leak. If you want to your tampons to stop leaking, then just change them before running for track. Try using super ones, instead of regular, because the size difference isn't that big. You can also wear thick panty liners and that will help. [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]
