I'm on my period and my dance recital is tomorrow. I'm going to wear a tampon but sometimes I still leak even if I have one in.
I can't wear underwear since it sticks out under the costume when i'm dancing but I wear this nude colored leotard thing underneath. Do you think if I put a pad there it would fall out or something?
Noyeti answered Friday May 18 2007, 11:30 am: Were a Panty liner. Its a really thin kind of pad to protect against leakage. It wont fall out Cause of the sticky hold on the other side so everything should be fine =] [ Noyeti's advice column | Ask Noyeti A Question ]

if your tampon leaks, you're probably doing something wrong. if your period is really heavy, you should use the tampons specifically meant for heavy - not light, for example. that really helps. if you STILL leak, make sure you change your tampon RIGHT before the dance recital. it will be fresh, and absorb a lot more blood and not leak.
i'd try buying those pads that can be worn like, under thongs, you know? those don't "stick out." if it's not possible to buy them (perhaps you can buy them today?) then just wear a pad. it MIGHT fall out, but you'll know if it's coming and you can put your leg down.
but yeah just try the first two suggestions first (make sure you're using the right flow ; change it RIGHT before the dance recitol). [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
