Dance
Class, rehearsals, performances. UnderDance is cut to work beneath high-leg leotards and costumes without adding a standard brief line where nobody asked for one.
UnderDance™
High-cut period underwear
For leotards, costumes and activewear.
Your leotard has a high leg. Your period undies got the memo.
UnderDance™ puts serious period protection into a high-cut brief designed to sit smoothly under dancewear, gymnastics leotards and activewear.
Shop UnderDance See the fit
High cut. For good reason.
Regular period undies can peek out below the leg line of a leotard or costume. Not exactly the look anyone was going for.
UnderDance sits higher on the hips, with a scooped front and cheekier Brazilian-style back so there’s less underwear where you don’t want to see it.
A soft, flat waistband and four-way-stretch microfibre keep things smooth while you bend, stretch, leap, tumble and generally refuse to stand still.
The difference is in the detail
Other period undies. UnderDance.
Same listed capacity. A different build for a high-cut leg line.
UnderDance has a high-cut side and Brazilian-style back for leotards, plus Bumpers side-leak barriers at the edge of the absorbent lining.
High-cut fit for leotards and costumes
Hides under high-cut active fits. No pads to position. No wings to hide. No tampon required.
Comfy coverage for how - and how much - you move
Moisture-wicking microfibre keeps the fit close and comfortable while you move.
Approx. 3 tampons or 3–4 regular pads’ absorbency. That’s a capacity guide, not a promise about hours. Flow varies. Long rehearsal? Pack a spare.
Bumpers side-leak barriers, exclusive to Eltee Sydney
UnderDance has absorbent protection built straight into the brief, plus our Bumpers side barriers to guard against the sideways leaks that threaten to break through when you're moving laterally, leaping, rolling, running... (you know, just generally trying to be active when you're on your period. 🙄)
Made for dance. Built for movement.
Gymnastics
Built for high-cut leotards and bodies in motion. Bend, stretch, split, tumble. Check the fit with your competition leotard before the big day, because costumes enjoy having opinions of their own.
Activewear
The high-cut shape also works under leggings, bike shorts and other activewear. Because UnderDance doesn’t actually check whether you’ve entered a studio before doing its job.
Find the fit. Then test it in motion.
1. Measure your body. Use your low-hip measurement first, then check your waist against the size chart. Between sizes? Choose the smaller size.
2. Get UnderDance sitting properly. Sides comfortably high on your hips. Back smoothed into place. Protection sitting close to your body, with no gaps and no digging.
3. Put the whole outfit on. Check front, sides and back. Then move. Bend, stretch, squat, kick. What disappears while standing still can develop other ideas once choreography starts.

A short, silent fit demonstration.
Under a leotard
No strategic camera angles. No crossed fingers. Watch UnderDance from the front, side and back as the leotard goes on, comes off and movement gets involved. Every leotard is cut differently, so check UnderDance with yours before performance day. Five minutes in the bedroom mirror beats finding out under stage lights.

Your UnderDance questions, answered
Will UnderDance show under my leotard?
It’s designed with a high-cut shape specifically to work beneath higher leg lines. But leotards vary in cut, fabric, colour and fit. Try the two together and check front, sides and back while moving.
How should UnderDance sit?
High and comfortable on the hips, with the back smoothed into place and the absorbent area sitting close to the body. It has a Brazilian-style cut with cheekier back coverage, not a full brief.
What if I’m between sizes?
Measure your low hip first and check your waist second. If you fall between sizes, choose the smaller size. Measurements beat age and usual clothing size every time.
How much does UnderDance absorb?
Approximately 2–3 tampons or four regular pads. Treat that as a capacity guide rather than a number of guaranteed hours. Flow and changing opportunities vary.
Is it only for dance?
No. The same high-cut shape works for gymnastics, acro and activewear whenever a lower-cut brief is likely to show.
Which colour should I choose?
UnderDance comes in Black, Neutral and Brown. Check the colour beneath your actual outfit in good light. There is no single “invisible” shade under every fabric or on every skin tone.
How do I wash it?
Rinse after wear, cold machine wash with similar colours and air-dry fully. Skip fabric softener and the tumble dryer.
Where do I choose my size and colour?

PERIOD-CONSCIOUS SPACES
FOR CLUBS, STUDIOS AND SCHOOLS
Periods should not be the reason girls sit out.
A period-conscious space keeps girls participating. It also gives anyone who needs practical period care beyond home a clear place to turn.
A student should not have to work out period protection and how to ask for help on their own.
What a period-conscious space looks like
Students know who they can speak to privately, where period supplies are and that asking for a break is okay.
- Private support. A familiar adult who can help without making a fuss.
- Accessible supplies. Practical period-care options when they are needed.
- Respect for participation. Support to keep going, and space to sit out when needed.
Your period undies have one job: do theirs while you do yours.
High-cut fit. Built-in period protection. Bumpers side-leak barriers. Made for movement and designed to sit quietly underneath it all.
