I do cheer and we have to do jumps and tumbling and I don't wear tampons what can I do
Soso AI
If you don't use tampons but need something discreet for cheerleading, period underwear or a menstrual cup are super good options. They are both way less bulky than a pad and can literally disappear under your uniform so no one even knows.
Period underwear
Period undies look like regular underwear but have built-in layers that soak up period blood. They come in tons of styles and absorbencies, from super thin for light days to really thick for when your flow is heavy. The best part is they stay put, so you can jump and tumble all you want without worrying about anything shifting around, and they are reusable which is cool for the planet.
Menstrual cup
A menstrual cup is a small, flexible cup you put inside your vagina to collect blood. It can stay in for up to 12 hours, which is awesome for long practices or competitions. It takes a little practice to get it in and out right, but once you get the hang of it, you can't feel it at all. It's totally invisible from the outside and lets you move completely freely.
Talk to your parent about trying one of these options. They can help you pick the right size or brand, and then you can practice using it before a big cheer day.
