Dancing on your cycle in a nude club...
Ok, sorry if this has been asked before but before I never had this issue cause I was dancing in topless clubs...now that I'm in a nude club, now I know I'll have to deal with dancing on my period sooner or later...what is easiest for you ladies to do while dancing on your cycle?
Re: Dancing on your cycle in a nude club...
Cut the string, wear black, change often and pray.

If you wear tampons tuck the string and get it positioned deep enough to really "stay". I wear the plastic cups and those have held up as long as it isn't th first day. Bring baby wipes and when in doubt change it out
Re: Dancing on your cycle in a nude club...
Cut the string, tuck it up. Wear a black thong.
I worked in a nude club pretty much my whole stripping career. I've seen some horror stories. Make sure you check it often so you don't leak onto customers' pants, and your string isn't hanging out on-stage or makes a sneak appearance in a customer's face during a private dance.....
Re: Dancing on your cycle in a nude club...
Menstrual cups work well, and are less likely to leak for me. If you have to work on a really heavy flow day 600-800 mg of ibuprofen will lessen flow drastically. I wouldn't do it regularly, because you will probably have to dose every 4 hrs, and that can be harmful to your liver (I think it's liver). Works like a charm though.
Re: Dancing on your cycle in a nude club...
I second menstrual cups. I started using one last cycle, and one great work-related thing about it is that you only have to change it twice a day (it holds a lot). There are also those disposable female-condom type things, I haven't tried them but I have a friend who uses them at work and she likes them. When I wore tampons, I didn't bother cutting the string, I just shoved it all up there so it would be easier to tug down later. Try that at your own risk, it probably doesn't work for everyone.
Re: Dancing on your cycle in a nude club...
I would wear a menstrual cup, but on the .0001% chance of something going awry, I always wear tampons. Like, if a tampon fails, you might get a little bit of blood on your thong or something. If a menstrual cup fails, you could dump half of the contents of your uterus on stage. It is this unlikely nightmare that has me using tampons for work. It's literally the only reason I even own tampons, because I hate them.
Re: Dancing on your cycle in a nude club...
I try to never work on the first two days of my period since I bleed most heavily those days. Besides that, same as the other ladies suggested. Dark thing, cut the string and push it in deep (not too deep you can't pull it out obviously ). I carry feminine wipes and extra tampon in my cash bag so I don't have to constantly run downstairs to the dressing room.

TMI ALERT...
I've actually started putting a makeup sponge in there, too. So I put a tampon in, tuck the string completely, and then put one of those circular makeup sponges inside myself. I'm sure it isn't the healthiest thing to do, but these are four-hour shifts. My worst, worst fear is bleeding during work, and if I even have a bit of concern in my head about it, I'll lose sales. So I do everything I can to make sure leaks won't happen.

Gotta do what you gotta do. Although if you're concerned about any health implications I'm fairly certain there are some all natural make up sponges out there. Although, I'm thinking it's not that serious. It's only 4 hours.
Re: Dancing on your cycle in a nude club...
Sea sponges are great to use!
Re: Dancing on your cycle in a nude club...

Jeeeeeezus Christ. I was tempted by the idea of a menstrual cup, but oh my god. I've bled out twice in my career, and both times, I swore I would never dance on my period (or first day of it) again. This most recent time was in VIP with a customer who'd just purchased another block when my tampon failed horrendously and my vagina projectile splattered a blood clot halfway out of my thong, and bled straight through it and down my thighs. Guy was a charm and paid me anyways, but he definitely GTFO'd with some speed after that. Recently I've been thinking of maybe trying the menstrual cup route, because tempting fate is a great idea, right? Yeah, maybe not.

Yeah man. I mean honestly, if I weren't so paranoid, I think the femmycycle would have zero issues. I just get so freaked out when I think about how much moving I do (potential to flip the cup, even though that's physically impossible). I would dance with my femmycycle based on my experience with it, but I wouldn't ever dance with the diva cup based on my experience with that (IRL, not ITC).
I've come very close to dancing with my femmycycle, but it's that ounce of paranoia that stops me!
Re: Dancing on your cycle in a nude club...
Wear a tampon that's slightly bigger than you're used to, cut the string, don't do any extreme spreading and relax. I always earn more on my period, idk if it's the pheromones or the increase in body temperature or what but it definitely makes a difference!
Re: Dancing on your cycle in a nude club...
I tuck the string and check every time before I leave the dressing room. If you wear black underwear and change your tampon regularly you'll be fine. I always try not to work the first day I have it though.
Re: Dancing on your cycle in a nude club...
My friend who used to do porn said that they use makeup sponges when a girl is on the rag. Im overly protective of my kitty so I don't think I could do it but they're supposed to be pretty effective. She said getting it out was a nightmare, she had two makeup artists digging around in there trying to get them out. I laughed my ass off when she told me that. So glamorous, LOL
Re: Dancing on your cycle in a nude club...
Look into the menstrual sponges if you're comfortable with them. They might not be best for the first couple days, because you'd probably need to clean them mid-shift (and that can get messy) but they're otherwise fantastic. Can't see them, shouldn't be able to feel them, if they're fitted properly they absolutely should not be falling out, and even if they start leaking a little, you can usually catch it within just a few wayward drops unless you're purposely squeezing your vaginal muscles.
