I'm not quite their yet but I have some questions about periods and gymnastics.
What shorts aee the best?
Regular shorts work fine
Best underwear?
Well, at least clean underwear right before practice
Pad, tampon, or cup? And which brands?
I've used just a pad in practice and I've also done pad and tampon on the days it was worse or in competition
Best pain reliever?
I use naproxen, but this is doctor prescribed only. Iboprofen or Femina should do the trick
What about competion?
I usually will get a new pad after 2 rotations, or use a pad and tampon at the same time. If your club is open to it, you can wear shorts if that makes you feel more comfortable
And not period related but whats the best no show bra for competition?
Depends on your Leo. We have an open upper back (like a circle). But regular bras don't support enough. So I wear a sport bra matching the color surrounding the hole (black) and hope I don't get deducted. If you can find one, you can wear tan as well. But the shipping costs for a tan bra are way to much for me, since they almost exclusively come from the US
It's from aleve I think?What is "Femina"? Naproxen is sold over the counter in the USA.
My ballerina and gymnast both swear by them. My girls have five pairs each and they’ve been holding up over a year now.For those that have mentioned Thinx, do you feel they work well? I've seen them advertised and have wondered. We've got a long while for my gymanst but I have a ballerina that's getting close. I love the idea of these.
thinx panties in sport nude colored. (they are washable panties with the "pad" built in, so you can wear nothing else or wear with a tampon in case of leaks.
GK has good thin strapped competition bras and capes has a clear backed one if your leo calls for that.

I am curious about this too.How well do the thinx panties work not wearing anything else? And how well do they wash? Do you just change them out like you would a pad?
So you wear them for a whole day? No leaking or smell?They do work well for light days without backup, and we rinse them and then wash them on the gentle cycle and lay flat to dry. My girls have a pair for each day of their period.
Correct.So you wear them for a whole day? No leaking or smell?
My mind is blownCorrect.
