Answers:
First of all, you shouldn't use a tampon unless you're actually on your period, and I definitely know how you feel about not being ready. I'm still not using one, and I've had my period for a while now.
You shouldn't worry about it leaking through your clothes. Most girls don't get a heavy flow their first time - my underwear was just a little stained when I first got it. Also, if you really want to wear a pad, use a very thin one, which is what I think you said you're already doing. If it's thin (or you can even just wear a liner, it's even thinner and you won't even know it's there!), you won't feel it and you shouldn't worry about running with it on.
Five minutes is not a long time to run, and your pad won't come off or move position as it's supposed to stick to your underwear even if you run for much longer. Even if you do get your period during gym, it won't be a big deal! When I had gym I ran with my pad and nothing bad happened :) Usually, unless you have a very heavy flow and a very thin pad, your period won't leak through. Plus, you'll notice if your underwear/pad is unusually wet and you can always ask to go to the washroom.
I hope I answered your question! And don't worry, just have fun in gym! :)
There are pads that wrap around and attacked to the bottom of your undies so you wont have to worry about it slipping (the wing thing you were talking about). Do NOT use tampons unless you are ON your period because it can cause infection if you aren't.
experience and an older sister.
when i was in school anytime i was on my period or knew i was gunna start soon i would wear a tampon( i know u wont ) but i also wore either leggings or spandex shorts under my jeans that way if i leaked it would have to go through my spandex or leggings before my jeans. try it hun. it might calm ur ease.
you should probably be ok, as long as you keep wearing the pads. The first time you get your period, its very unlikely that it will be heavy enough to leak through the pad before you have time to change it after class.
you could use a thicker pad and check before you go to gym and ask to be excused during the middle and check and tampons arent that bad i thought the same thing but they are way better.
for something like this you should use a tampon,
tampons are not that bad, its just like having sex, or masturbating,
you could use a menstrual cup...
