Use whatever menstrual product you feel most comfortable with.

Options like menstrual cups, softcups, sponges, and tampons are needed if you want to participate in swimming an can be best for sports because they allow you to move more freely than if you were using external options like pads. Menstrual cups are best when active as they can be worn with any flow, they can be worn for up to 12 hours, they reduce cramps, and don't leak.


If you prefer to use external options like pads that's fine for any sports, with the exception of swimming and water sports. You may prefer to use cloth pads as these are more comfortable than disposable pads as they are soft and breathable so keep you drier also with no rubbing on skin. During light days you may like period underwear which are underwear with pads built-in and leak-proof lining, these are also good as back-up with other forms of menstrual protection.
