I say Kotex, but its best to try whats best for you. Just expect some leakage

Tampons really don't differ too much from each other. The absorbency is what is important.
I've tried Playtex Sport and Kotex, and I notice that kotex is thicker and wider. I like using it because it is easy to put in and absorbs a lot.
Your tampon will not come out during flying or tumbling or toe touches. Make sure you insert it properly (you shouldn't be able to feel it's there, and the string should dangle between an inch and two inches from you.) and change it often. If you insert one just before practice, you should be fine.
I would try both brands and see which you prefer. Both will be effective.
Good luck,

I'm no cheerleader, but I did do karate for years and I found that every brand is about the same. Leaks are going to happen at some time or another when you're using tampons. I'd suggest using a liner in combination, if you can.
If you have a variable flow and you move around a lot I'd definitely suggest the menstrual cup (I'm a DivaCup fan). It's very soft and flexible, I've never had a leakage problem and they're very eco-friendly as well as body-friendly. There's a certain 'ick' factor involved, but you get over it pretty darn fast. You can leave it in for up to 12 hours no matter how heavy your flow is, then you just empty it, rinse it off and pop it back in. Takes a little getting used to, but once you get the hang of it you will wonder how you ever lived without it.
