Do you wear any underwear or anything because i'm going to be doing some water sports and i'm a girl who doesn't really like to wear things that cling to me. I feel suffocated and very exposed, so do you like wear anything underneath like underwear?
For girls, i may be on my periods, and i hate wearing tampons beacuse they hurt me really badly, would a pad be a really bad option?

Typically it's either nothing or a bathing suit. (I prefer bathing suit). Sorry, but pads are kind of out of the question...water leaks through wetsuits; that's how they work! Wetsuits trap a layer of water against your skin, which your body heats with its own heat and you thus stay warm because your body isn't trying to warm the whole ocean...only a little water.

Dry suits trap air against your body, which is warmer, but dry suits are expensive and require a lot of maintenance. Not really worth it.

Sorry about the pads thing...I know, I HATE TAMPONS! I can hardly force my body to use them even in extreme cases! Just relax and keep trying. : /

I wish you much luck!
