What do you do when you get your period? Do you have to take time off or do you have some special way of keeping it secret?

why is this a question for dancers in Atlanta? Are they mysteriously the only ones having periods these days???
Post it in Body Business. I'm sure any lady, irregardless of where she dances, can help answer your question.
^^^lol that was funny.......for me personally, i dont work on my period.....but most girls just cut the tampon string........
Why only Atlanta? Because they are nude clubs there, and I'm pretty sure that's unique to Atlanta. At least in the States.

Cut the string, or, more risky--and I know from experience which would have embarrassed me terribly if I could ever manage to get embarrassed about such things--tuck the string. I never took a night off because of my period, but ome might prefer to. I worked at the Cheetah last I danced in Atlanta.

Tuck the string if u got a big nu nu. Cut it if ur nu nu is small and u cant really hide the string. I danced in atl a few times and was scared to cut the string and lose it, so i tucked it. never had any problems
The nude thing seems such a big deal in ATL that I thought it was special.
I tried the cut string once and ended up with an emergency visit to the GYN. Maybe I shouldn't have cut so much. :s
Thanks for the responses.
PM




ouch u just made my stuff jump. lol which is why i DONT cut. i guess u could maybe cut before u put it in?





I was nude in MANY clubs in America.
Tuck it in or cut it off.
Edit:
OH GOD LOGIC PEOPLE!!! Cut it off BEFORE you shove it in.

I have tucked and cut. I dont work at a nude club anymore but I still tuck to avoid any string falling out of my thong incidents.





PM, if they serve alcohol in a nude club then that is a HUGE deal and *very* special!
I never had a problem with tucking, but then again I was constantly performing coochie checks in front of the mirror all night.
Why would the size of one's vagina determine if the string can be hidden or not? I don't get it? I mean, the string is going up the canal along with the tampon, you just shove the string up with your finger after inserting the tampon. Some girls are paranoid about string showing so they cut. And then others like me hate having to dig around to remove a stringless tampon and would rather just check throughout the night.
I should clarify. It was an OB tampon (they are pretty small to begin with) and I basically cut the whole string off so retrival became an issue. While trying I ended up pushing it in further and further until it was hopelessly lost. Then I had a panic attack about it so I headed to the doctor.
So it wasn't due to an accidental snip. OUCH!! :o

Kegels can get anything out.![]()

Or after a few hours and the tampon was full, bearing down or pushing it out should get the job done too. There was a girl I went to H.S. with that I heard from someone else, she apparently had a really really foul odor in your kitty that kept getting worse so she finally went to the OBGYN and apparently forgot that she had a tampon in and put another one in and did get the first one lodged in there for like 2-3 weeks!!! *shudders*

There's plenty of nude clubs around CA that don't serve alcohol, and the modus operandi for periods is pretty much the same whether guys are drinking or not. Plus, the non alcoholic clubs around are sometimes just down the street from the bar or have tailgate type situations so you do get plenty of inebriated fellows.

I'm in Baltimore, and there are a BUNCH of nude liquor servin' clubs around here. I work at one.
And I second Lilith- Kegels are amazing![]()
I prefer not to work on my period because I get godawful cramps, but when I do, I snip the string (leaving maybe an inch or so) and tuck the rest in. I also heard some dancers use sponges or one of those menstrual cup thingies, so you might want to look into that.



Ever try a menstrual cup? They are reusable and generally last for about forever. It takes most people awhile to get the hang of using them, and popping them back in and outside of you, but many women feel like it's worth it. And you don't have to worry about anything funny sticking out and saying hello. You only have to buy one and you can wash it, sanitize it if you wish, and pop it back in. You can generally wear them for up to 12 hours without having to worry about it overflowing (they hold a LOT more blood than a tampon). One is a silicone cup http://www.divacup.com/ and the other is rubber http://www.keeper.com/. It doesn't go inside you nearly as far as a tampon so I think the chances of it getting lost are slim. I switched from tampons to the diva cup when I was a very athletic teenager. I don't feel it inside of me and I never had it pop out. Some people don't like the idea though.
There are also disposable cups called instead. They fit over the cervix like a diaphragm. I have never used them though. http://www.softcup.com/

If I have a heard time getting it out standing up..I lay on my back, feet near head, bear down and retrieve it. But I doubt that's a move that can be done in privacy at most clubs...so try squatting while pushing it out.
