Men and women both sweat during exercise — that is a given. However, many women have a few more issues that may be more embarrassing during exercise. This includes stress incontinence, menstrual leaks, and groin sweat. If you are someone who experiences some of these uncomfortable issues, you may want to know how to address them. Here are some tips and tricks of how you can exercise, sans embarrassment, and leave equipment clean for the next users.

Skip the Panty Liners and Throw Down Pads

If you typically use a panty liner as backup for a tampon, skip it when exercising. Instead, throw down an extra long, extra thin pad. Pads will catch more leaks if your tampon fails, and pads will hold more. It is a fact that your period runs faster during exercise because your circulatory system is pumping more blood, and your abdomen is facing more strain and pressure during exercise. Avoiding leaks is just a matter of common sense.

Odor Control Urine Leakage Pads

Whether you urinate a bit when you exercise or you need to address excessive sweat and odor that typically accompanies a good workout, you probably do not want anyone to see that when you kick, leg press, or bend over. Odor control urine leakage pads are equipped with baking soda embedded in the fibers so that odors and the effects of stress incontinence go undetected. Additionally, and most importantly, your exercise clothing will be better protected.

Specially-Designed Underwear

Revolutionary underwear is now designed to hold blood, sweat, and urine away from the body. You cannot detect anything from the outside either, as they are made of a very unique, absorbent, and layered fabric. They are much more expensive than the average pair of women's panties, but where exercise is concerned, they are totally worth it.

Cleaning off Equipment

Most fitness centers require that you spray and wipe off the seats and handles of all exercise equipment. You could actually take it a step further by folding up a hand towel and sitting on it. This will keep sweat that drips down one's back from exiting through his/her exercise bottoms and leaving behind questionable wet marks on the seat. Still, it is a very good idea to follow gym rules and spray down and wipe off the equipment or use a cleaning wipe for sanitation, depending on what the fitness center provides and expects.
