Sweetheart, you've asked this same question sixteen times. One of the answers must appeal to you.

No, no tampon. Go to the doctor and get checked. Black streaks and a smell is not normal. When your period comes, use pads for the first few so you know what your period is like, how much you bleed, then move to Tampax tampons with the cardboard applicator.

For now, wear a panty liner when you dance.

Tampax I must agree is the best tampon brand. You can pick the thickness that suits you and they have applicators too.

To be safe I would wear a tampon because bads can show through your clothes and they can be quite uncomfortable if you want a lot of movement.

If your doing the splits, I must say you'd feel a bit weird at first but the feeling "full", you'll get used to it after a while.

And yes that does appear to be your period, luckily you've started off with it pretty light but it can get heavier so always carry a tampon or pad with you incase it starts.

firstly, yes you are starting to get your period, you are turning into a woman, congratulations.

As for dancing. Well it doesn't really matter, do whatever feels more comfortable for you. Pads usually give just as much protection as tampons, but just make sure you buy a reliable brand like libra.

You may find that using a tampon hurts a bit, because you are still a virgin and they are quite invasive if you are not sexually active. So if it hurts or you feel uncomfortable, dont worry, its perfectly normal and just use a pad, it will be fine. and just check it every couple of hours to see if you need to change it.

hope this helped you.
