Yes, dancers can wear pads.
Managing Menstruation While Dancing
Many dancers need to manage menstruation while performing or practicing. Here's how pads can fit into that:
- Pad Options:
- Wingless Pads: When wearing a leotard that doesn't allow for shorts or additional layers, wingless pads worn inside tights can be a suitable option.
- Fitted Leotards: The leotard needs to be snug enough to keep everything securely in place.
Practical Considerations
| Consideration | Details |
|---|---|
| Uniform | If uniforms are strict, discreet solutions are needed. |
| Security | A well-fitted leotard helps hold pads in place. |
Dancers often have to be creative with how they manage their menstrual needs, but using pads is a common and viable solution.
