    Buy some cheap underwear at the dollar store and throw them out afterward.

    I use Playtex Sport all the time regardless of whether or not I'm exercising. If my flow is heavier, I wear a panty liner too. I NEVER wear pads.. i just think they feel like a diaper.

    I use the platex sport tampons. They work good.

    Forgive my ignorance, but can one use two tampons at once, and maybe tie the strings together?

    Sure if you don't mind toxic shock

    Bigger tampon and liner, or tampon and pad if you leak a lot.

    Or don't exercise when the communists are in the funhouse, one or the other.

    I use the Playtex Sport and I love them. I do seem to have a heaver flow when working out so I need to have a fresh one when I start and change as soon as I finish my workout.

    Why would 2 tampons give you toxic shock?

    Thanks for all the advice! I'll definitely have to try the Playtex Sport and maybe a pantyliner too :)

    And I have heard wonderful things about the Diva Cup, but I think I'm a little to squeamish for it, hahaha.

    I'm afraid of even googling that Diva Cup to see what it is lol First time I hear of it.

    I'd super size the tampon and wear a pantyliner like others have suggested.

    I hadn't even considered that...my :noway: moment was trying to figure out the, uh, mechanics of using two tampons lol.

    I guess if you tie the strings together your chances are a little lower.

    Wow, I had no idea how many women out there used the Diva Cup as well. Well, yes, I would suggest that first, but it's definitely not for everyone and I can understand that.

    I also agree with using liners. They're pretty thin, so I'd imagine it wouldn't be as uncomfortable as a straight up pad; it might be worth experimenting with.

    I'm not gonna be the one to experiment with that one.

    Wear a thin pad with wings and black underwear so you don't ruin them.

    Always Infinity pads, they're the BEST and it doesn't feel like a normal pad. Get the orange or green one- full coverage front to back with wings!
