    Question Best Feminine Protection for Dancing while on Period?

    I just started dancing this week, and of course, my period started before my first Friday shift. My club is topless only, so I can wear bottoms. I typically wear tampons, but I'm really worried about the string showing. I was wondering what most dancers use while on their period. From what I understand, the best options are a menstrual cup (there seem to be a lot of brands), sponges (sea sponges or make up sponges), or simply tucking the string of a tampon, but which is best specifically for dancing, not camming or escorting? Are all of these safe? Have you had any issues with any of the above? Also does wearing black actually hide any leakage? My biggest fears are the string of a tampon popping out while I'm on stage (especially if I'm already wearing black for protection), a sponge getting stuck (I've seen posts about pieces of them breaking off!), or a menstrual cup tipping over and spilling (I've never actually worn one). What do you use for dancing on your period, and if applicable, what brand? What other advice do you have about dancing while menstruating?

    I searched, so I know there are numerous posts on this, but I haven't seen anything comprehensive or recent with up-to-date products and safety information. If there's an informative post I missed, please link it below. I also didn't post this in body business because I want advice about actively dancing. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated, so thanks in advance!

    I'd recommend a Diva cup or an Instead cup.

    Cut the string after insertion and wear black/dark bottoms. It will be a bit more effort to fish out but it will be secure and hidden. If you're that worried about the string still being visible, a trick I learnt while working in a nude club (and I know you said your club is topless) is to colour it with red organic food dye. This will work best with the club lighting to camouflage any bits that might poke out if you didn't cut it quite short enough.

    ^ This! I watched a dancer bleed through a white G string in the span of a few minutes (onstage.) Definitely avoid light colored bottoms during Shark week....

    Lol yea this, esp if ur club has black/uv light. I’ve def seen little strings on stage have a major glow-up in the black light ��

    The cups would be preferable however they can be messy (depending on the brand of cup) especially during heavy flow days.

    Once I bled on myself. Thank goodness I had on black bottoms.

    And always carry some baby wipes

    O.B. Brand tampons. The string is already tucked.

    I just use tampons and cut the string! Baby wipes are your friend.

    I've tried the cup and other methods but with the amount of activity I do nothing else really prevents leaking 100%. I love the cup for home use paired with a panty liners but for work it's tampons.

    I use a Diva cup and I've never had any issues. You don't have to change it as often as tampons. Plus the economical benefits. It's an initial $40 investment and then it will last you for years.

    Thanks for all the responses! I was actually afraid of losing the tampon/ the work to get it out if i cut the string, so I went with soft discs (instead soft cups) and black bottoms. It worked really well!
