How to help your daughter exercise without stress during her period?
Periods should never be a barrier to physical activity for young girls. Yet, every year, thousands of teenage girls temporarily or permanently stop exercising due to discomfort, stress, or fear related to menstruation.
As a parent, how can you support your daughter so she can continue to exercise with peace of mind, even during her period? Here are our practical tips to help her feel good about her body and her exercise.
Why periods are a real obstacle for athletic teenage girls
According to several studies, 1 in 2 young girls avoid sport during their periods . The main reasons:
- Fear of leaks and visible stains
- Fear of being judged or mocked
- Discomfort associated with traditional protections
- Lack of solutions adapted to intensive sport
What you can do as a parent
1. Talk about periods without taboos
Show your daughter that it is normal and healthy to talk about her cycle , including in a sports context.
2. Offer him protection adapted to the sport

4. Support your performance, even during your period
Many elite athletes train and perform during their periods. With the right equipment, periods are no longer a limitation .
5. Introduce her to the Haomah menstrual leotard
