Nice!! I love the way they all have the same leo but with different colours - looks great!

The Lunette and Diva Cup are menstrual cups; you insert them, they catch the blood and then you empty them twice a day or as needed. They're great! No more buying pads and tampons ever! They do take a little practice to get used to, but then, so do tampons at the beginning. Personally, I...

That was great! :)

Aaaaaah. Well that makes more sense. According to google thats about 5.7 feet which sounds a LOT more likely. Don't give up - I'm sure that if you had put your correct height in the original question the answers would have been completely different. Have fun with gymnastics!

Surely we're talking 1.69 metres? Germany doesn't even measure height in feet/inches. Apart from that, the writing makes me think there's something not quite right here, (very unlike the writing style I've seen by most German native-speakers) but hey, if you are genuine, then I certainly...

I agree that the Diva cup (or similar) is great! I love mine!! But, I do think it would be a bit overwhelming for a girl that's having trouble with tampons.. if she feels up to trying, I'd recommend it, but otherwise, let her get used to tampons first.

Poor thing.. I would persist with tampons, she'll get the hang of it and it will be worth it to have her freedom back. Other option I guess is to talk to the coach and see if she can wear shorts over a leo and use a pad for that week. I would probably have been mortified to do it that way as...

That's good to hear!

Started working on my back tuck on tramp yesterday. I asked for some drills to work towards back handspring, and that's what I got! (Apparently he wants me to get the feel of going backwards without having to worry about my hands first) I'm no closer to my kip, but managed to get my back...

Thanks!! I'm not quite up to that yet- something to aim for :)

Thanks, that looks more reasonable! I'll keep looking then..

What exactly does the Intermediate Optional mean? I did have a look on the website, but couldn't find anything. Another (unrelated!) question, I'm moving to New York in September and have found a few gyms that offer adult classes but they seem pretty expensive - what's the average cost of...

I think you should call the gymnastics clubs in your area and see if you can join to do an adult class or similar. I believe Germany is generally quite well disposed towards adult gymnasts so I'm sure you'll find somewhere and have fun! Good luck!

Sure you can start late. You'll probably never be as good as the 8 year olds, but you can have fun trying! I started this year at 25 (never did gymnastics as a child), and am loving it. :)

Good luck!! I'm sure you will do beautifully. (would love to see videos if you feel like posting something)
