SHELTON, Conn., June 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether it's your favorite adrenaline pumping playlist or a chant that roars as you walk on the field, we all have pre-game traditions that allow us to feel confident and perform our best. Playtex® Sport® partnered with one-of-a-kind female athletes to create a "Ready, Set, Play On!" video series, including: dancer and actress, Chloe Lukasiak, Pilates expert, Cassey Ho, surfer, Malia Manuel and snowboarder, Jamie Anderson. Together, these women who embody the Play On spirit, will share their unique preparation rituals that motivate them to Play On, even during their period.

"Before I hit the stage, I shake out my entire body to pump myself up. This helps me get mentally and physically ready for show time," said award-winning dancer Chloe Lukasiak. "But, my real secret weapon is Playtex® Sport® because I never let my period get in my way. I can just focus on what I need to do with comfort and confidence, and do it well."
