It might be hot playing w/2 layers, but the tradeoff of having an extra layer and one that is tough and can keep things in place, is priceless.


That's what my soccer player wears. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0045NTHVQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Definitely leaked through my clothes a few times as a teen, thankfully I was never wearing white.

I rarely leak. The only time would be at night on day 1 or 2 with a pad a weird sleeping position. But even then it is rare. I don't think I've ever leaked through a super tampon. If i let a regular one go more than 2 hrs on a heavy day, I run the risk.

Only a male basta*d picks white shorts for a girls team.
Think about it, people.

I am a survivor of numerous middle school menstrual disasters. Thirty years later, they still haunt me! The worst was in 8th grade social studies. I stood up at the end of the class and heard snickering. Looked back and saw that I had smeared blood all over the chair and my legs. It looked like someone had been murdered. I wouldn’t have done well with white shorts.

OMG. Try being semi-incontinent AND on your period. Blood and pee everywhere!

Do track runners still wear those spandex underwear? That was the WORST too. Holy anxiety.

We had white pants for softball and white skirts for cheerleading picked by a gym teacher. We decided to wear dark trunks under the skirts, but had few options back in the day under the skin tight softball pants. It was a source of constant anxiety.

White athletic anything is a dumb idea, but especially for girls.

If some girls may worry about leaking or worry their underwear will show through, then pick different shorts. Being a pubescent female is tough enough. Why make it harder?

I think leaks are rare but worrying about leaks as a teen when your body is unpredictable and changing is real and should be acknowledged.

I was a gymnast growing up and wore tampons and never had a leak but let me tell you on days I had my period all I was thinking about was whether anyone could tell. Not ideal.


I always had super heavy periods and I often had leaks. It is really dependent on the individual. It's not always "probably not but possible" - nice idea though.

There's a reason there used to be from time to time ads for tampons that blared that you could wear white!!! (post-menopause so I don't pay that much attentio but I gather period hygiene ads are way more direct than they used to be)

We just purchased uniforms for a u12 girls team and purposefully avoided white shorts and shirts (developing breasts and white are not a great combination either.)
