Me too. Especially working nude. I have to run to the bathroom all the time to make sure I'm not bleeding through my tampon. And when I'm onstage I worry that I'm bleeding and people can see it. Obviously I'm not since I'm so obsessive about keeping things down there under control but the paranoia really cuts into the sexy vibe I'm trying to project.
Oh yeah and cramps. Yeah.





I don't get my period. I just keep taking my pills back to back. Hated it when I would have sex near my period and my stuff would get raw before work. TMI oops lol.

Me too !! I simply take one or two day off every month if possible. If not I work very lightly. That means ... If there is a class I absolutely can't miss I go to the class and then go home. I abolutely don't socialize at that time of the month. Good idea !? My waitress/bartender/job ... I just call in sick !!
that's totally what i do. i ALWAYS bleed through my tampon, especially on the first few days when it's really heavy. and those fucking diva cups freak me out.
TM, i usually skip mine too, but occasionally i get paranoid if i've had unprotected sex and get all "omg what if i'm prego i need to get my period to make sure" so i make myself get it.
i stopped taking my pill on sunday and i didn't get my period on wednesday night so today it's sooo heavy grr.





I hate getting mine in general. I ALWAYS feel like I leaking and the times that I in class or in a resteraunt or the club and I talk myself out of checking becuase I'm just being paranoid...well of coarse I've actually bleed through.
Take the pill back to back doesn't work for me.It used to, but know I'll still end up getting it and it WONT go away until I stop my BS all together. Suckage.
I cramp so bad that I take the first couple of days off (which is always like a tuesday went I wouldn't be working anyways) and cringe and guys who want a dance that are wearing khakis....meh.
I hate it...it makes me want to punch people I'm so irritable. Yesterday was the first day i bled through and new and favorite pair of pants. All because I was out of liners, and figured it'd be ok for an hour. NOT! I can't get a single damn tampon to fit me right...EVER! I freak at work and sometimes just don't go or go early.
argh! i had to do a private party show tonight and it was an hour out of the city and by the time i got there my tampons were just leaking through like crazy. i was sooo paranoid through the whole show and could feel myself leaking. solution? i did a paint show, so the minute i took my g-string off i squirted bright orange paint over that whole region. no blood to be seen hahaha.




I worry about leaking yes, but what bothers me most is that before and during my period i go absolutely stark raving mad. I hate everyone, burst into tears every 5 minutes for no reason, and get really sensitive about small things e.g
"wanna dance"
"no"
"WHY DON'T YOU LIKE ME??!!!"
So yeah, i try to schedule around it lmao.
PMS was the worst for me, both the sensitivity and the godawful bloat! But tampon string paranoia was no fun either.

Darcy, you have it easy with the nude shows... Both Lysondra and myself do xxx toy shows. I use the same thing alot of 'escorts' use when they want (or need) to work whilst on their period: sea sponges.
Its a little "messier" to use than a tampon however I find I have a better outcome (no blood) via Sea Sponges than I do tampons. I've even used them very recentlyOriginally Posted by http://www.youngwomenshealth.org/alternative_menstrual.html
just so I could get laid without the guy knowing (as like with most guys he has an aversion to having sex with me on my period).
You just use your pelvic muscles to help move it so it is "within reach"
Oh btw.. you don't use the "whole" sea sponge.. you break off as much as you require to use yet I find them more effective than tampons any day
I stopped using any BC for the last year (nearly) now as I want to make sure my body is throughly 'cleansed' from my constant use of the Depo BC (birth control) for too many years before I go about trying NuvaRing and eventually find a way to use Essure.
I'm always a lot more moody (and emotional) the week before my period.. all my friends and those who know me well enough see it before I do! haha.

^^^If the tampons dont work effectivly my guess is that sea sponges might be disasterous.
I cant use them even on a light day, my body squeezes them and so they fail.
I never work on the first day, I just get too dizy and light headed, pluse I get so tired I can barely walk never mind dance! After the first day I'm ok, mine only last about 3 days anyway. Boo for periods!![]()
/sigh. I cannot work for the first 3 days of my period. I go through a super tampon per hour, plus i have to wear a panty liner because I just bleed through the tampon like it's not even there. I have massive horrible cramps that I cant get out of bed, plus the MAJOR moodiness and food cravings. I seriously lock myself in thebedrrom and dont come out for a week. It's te safest thign for me to do or else I'll kill someone. And then I feel bad for beign so bitchy for no reason.
I tried birth control for a few months, but that just made me have constant pms and I was a bitch 24/7. I have tried many many different bc methods, and none agree with me unfortunatly. The only one that didn't make me crazy or sick was depo, which just made me fat and have weak bones.![]()





I must be the exception. Working with my period doesn't bother me in the least bit. I do worry that I might leak but im not worried enough that I wont work.
I actually like having my period, it's the only time where I actually have a sex drive. I have never experienced a guy not wanting to sleep with me coz I'm on my period either.
There are many stereotypes about the industry that I work in. Sometimes they can be true but human beings are very diverse creatures and cannot be pigeon-holed into one category.
Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.
