Warning: if you're a guy you don't want to read this.

I was at the gym last night doing my bi/back workout. So I'm in the middle of TTOM & while I was doing pullups I felt some slippage in my, ummmm, protection. I figured WTH, I have a few sets left, I can make it.......

NOT! In the middle of my second set of lat pulldowns it was moving even more.......I had to stop everything & get to the ladies' room ASAP, which was difficult b/c I wanted to run but didn't want the worst possible thing to happen so I had to take these little baby steps to prevent even more slippage.......

I guess it just goes to show you women who work out do more Kegel exercising than they might realize. :eek:

I swear, I don't know how but sometimes I put myself in the most embarassing situations. x(
 
This seemed to always happen to me.
Recently, I have been using the new Tampax, Sport ones, every since they seem to really help!

That's gross! LOL. When I don't do kegels regularly, I sometimes pee a little bit when doing jumping jacks!

And here I thought I was the only one that had that problem (peeing a little when doing jumping jacks)...lol
My DH always makes fun of me.

It's so funny that this issue came up today because my SIL who works out with me at home just mentioned these sport tampons. We have the same problem with the plyo jumps and "slippage". Sometimes we will even modify the workout to not include these jumps on the heavy Aunt Flo days. Are they made of some different fiber that makes them stay in place better?

I have to say, I don't miss working out at a gym. I don't have to put on makeup, wear cool clothes, have someone yapping at me on the treadmill, wipe up other peoples sweat, travel, or hurry to make a class. I just go downstairs and workout with Cathe. Cool...
 
I'm pretty tight down there so my tampons stay in place (I know, TMI! TMI!) but I can't do sit ups during that time because the pressure causes me to hemmorhage!

Oh well, the joys of being a woman!
 
You all are too funny and of course, so doggone honest }(

Thank goodness the BCP's I have been on keep to flow to almost nil.

Can't imagine having "slippage" :+
 
What the heck is a sports tampon? How does it work? I'm imagining a tampon connected to one of those belts they described in Judy Blumes book, "Are you there god, it's me Margaret?". Very odd.
