Advice for being incontinence and doing ballet?

[thatoneoddball]

Hello everyone;
From what I gathered my doctor has stated I have overactive bladder syndrome and I leak urine a lot of the time so I tend to wear pads. The reason I’m making this forum is because I’m curious if anyone knows of any pads I can use with ballet tights or for ballet? It’s a needed requirement to do physical education for college and this is the only one I’m able to do at the moment. Thank you for your words if you respond to my forum.

Can you wear one of those short dress/skirts over your ballet tights to distract and camouflage any pads you might wear? Those tights don’t leave a lot to the imagination nor do they hide much of anything so you may have to rely on the discretion of your classmates when it comes to your ic items.

With pads, it quickly comes down to volume of loss, rate of loss and over what time period!

A slow dribble over a couple of hours can be handled by most urinary pads. Where a quick loss of the same volume will overcome most pad products on the market!

I’ll definitely look for some skirts. This is definitely a good idea and I appreciate it. Thank you.

Thank you! I have large pads I just am worried they’ll rip my tights. I’ve been tempted to switch to more pull up styles though since it’s annoying to deal with the pads.

Odd,

Good luck with that, I can recommend these https://www.thinx.com/thinx-for-all-leaks depending on how much protection you need. They hide well under tights.

I’m a dancer and when I had my period they have flexibility pads so that they don’t even leak through anything I wore ballet tights so many times and I’m a ballerina so I use always flexibly pads and they work just fine I think that’s what they called I’m unsure but they don’t leak through ballet tights at all

Thank you! I’ll check those out as well. It’s nice to meet a fellow dancer

Your welcome I always used the always flexibility pads and they work just fine and when I used them I didn’t even see the pads even with leopard I didn’t really see the pads and they are comfortable too

I’m been a dancer and a ballerina for years so when it comes to my period I know how it is with dance

That is a lttle tricky for you I think. For me I would wear a pad under my dance belt and it would not be too noticeable but if you wore a moderate pad it may not be seen as much, that is assumig you wear a dance skirt. I never appeared too often on stage wearing just tights and leotard, mostly for practice and I was not part of the company. I was an understudy of sorts or extra in some productions as I was a volunteer. Quite often it was an elaborate costume as an extra on stage in crowd scenes where I did not dance too much. Sometimes I was an escort for open house tours and other times was in the gift shop tending to customers at Inter-mission. On days I was not in tights and leotard it was pull up style undies for protection and they were needed quite often as break times never seemed to come often enough. I have loved Ballet all my life but my father had a fit when I asked to take lessons like the girl next door. I was sad and frustrated but decided on Figure Skating to take the place of a girly sport. My father never said much about it and I paid for lessons myself.

I do modern dance, yoga, and practice aerial yoga and I wear protection for bowel and bladder incontinence 24/7 now. I usually wear a leotard with a poofy skirt, an exercise dress with shorts underneath, or running shorts 1-2 sizes larger than my natural size to classes. I also wear skin colored or black dance tights a size larger than my natural size. I can get away with a north shore go supreme pull-up for an hour, but then I need to change. Luckily my yoga and dance classes are only an hour long.

The NorthShore, GoSupreme is a great pull-up. Happy to hear they work for you. I wear them during the day when I am working outside around the house and do not want to wear a full diaper.

Most of the time, when I'm playing any athletic sports (biking, golf, tennis and softball), I like to wear that Ecoable snap -on diaper and some kind of insert. With my heavy wetting accidents, this diaper are better than my usual diaper (with booster and plastic pants when needed). Less thicker and completely comfortable but still provide absorption. I did try a pull-up. Disaster.

I have zero experience with what pads can do to tights, sorry.
Ya, you are likely going to like pull-ups much better.
