About the answer; you should NEVER use a tampon when your not on your period. The material the tampon is made out of sticks to your skin so you cant remove it until it obsorbbs water. Sorry! I dont use a tampon either!

Sorry if this is an awkward question to answer, but I want to know if you could have any guess as to when I'll get my period. I'm going to be 13 in August so I'm at the "average age" to get it. I have hips and long legs and all that stuff. I have a size A cup too. The thing is, my mom didn't get hers until she was 15. I have some discharge every once in a while. Could you please help?




Hey girl, I can't tell you when you're going to get your period (wish I could but no one knows! The thing about every girl is that it comes at a different time). What I can tell you, however, is to be prepared with pads and to look out for signs of PMS the week before (discharge, cramps, migraine headaches, chest pain, mood swings, increased appetite and fatigue, etc.)

I don't actually agree with the test-run advice. Taking out a dry tampon isn't exactly the best feeling. Just throwing that out there.

Tong i chicken out every time i try! im a swimmer, so i have to!! Tong i hate wearing pads as well Tong can anyone give exra tips??




Hey girl! Sorry but you're going to have to learn to at least deal with pads and tampons. Tampons are necessary for you because you are a swimmer. If inserted right, you shouldn't even feel it.

MOD!!
ok so my dance recital is in like 5 days and i know im about to get my period but im not exactly sure when its going to start because its not very consistent yet. i rly dont want to have to dance in a pad ugh but im also kinda afraid to talk to my mom about it and i dont know why!! any tips for bringing up the subject with her?

 

 

Hey babes, it doesnt hurt to be prepared! Try using a tampon. You only need it for a fwe hours then you can change out of your costume and put on a pad. Talking to moms about this stuff is tough but I would def just casually bring it up on the way to dance practice. xo JANA

also forgot to ask when you put the tampon in will you feel it or will you not even notice it what is the max. time to keep one in




hey girl! You shouldn't feel it once it's in. Also, you should change it every 4-6 hours.
