Hey girl, well if you're having bad cramps, definitely tell your mom. Don't be nervous, she was your age once too. It's okay! Ask her what she thinks is best for you to do. And definitely dont worry about asking her about tampons. She'll more than happily get some for you. =]

mod mod mod mod ok for the last few days I have been getting cramps this has never happened before I'm 13 and haven't started my period yet but I have almost all the signs except for development I'm kind of far behind on that like my friends are all 34 A's and I'm a 30 A my mom got hers when she was 14 so when do u think I will get it and how do I ask my mom to buy me tampons for incase I get my period cuz I really want some we were at the store the other day and on that isle I just wanted to grab some put them in the cart and walk off plz help




Hey girl, its different for everyone, so unfortunately you just have to be patient =/ but i think you should just ask your mom. When I was in that position a long time ago, I just asked her and it wasn't awkward at all. Trust me it'll be fine if you just ask her. =]

What are cornbags??? And where can u get em??? are they healthy??? are they fatening???
THanx mod Smile




Hon you dont eat the cornbag. Its like the opposite of an ice pack. You heat it up in the microwave and put it on your stomach to help with your cramps. Like the article says they can be found online so look there. Good luck! xoxo kerra

hey, i was wondering if you knew any other ways that i could get rid of cramps.... i'm on my period and they are pretty terrible right now. my mom has one of these cornbags, which i am using, but i was wondering if you had any other suggestions? thankss =)




Hey girl, I would ask your mom if you could take an Advil or ibuprofen — sometimes they can help cramps, but it's important you talk to your 'rents before taking any medication.

Mod. I have been having really bad on/off cramps. My sisters last softball game is tonight then after we are going out to get ice cream. What can I do in a short amount of time? I don't have my period yet.

 

Hey girly, cramps are so not fun, and I really  hope you feel better! I relax in a hot bath for a little bit, maybe with a hot drink, like tea, and your fav book or magazine. That always makes me feel a little bit better.

FOR HAPPY PERIODS:

Easy ways to feel good and not have so many cramps while your on you period.

1. drink a load of water
2. Don't over-eat
3. Try to eat light things
4. Ice cream works amazing for me
5. at night try sleeping with a pillow under your stomach
6. stay as busy as you can to think of other things Smile

I have in general happy periods and i barely get cramps but when i do these little tricks work great for me! Hope this helps some girls.

Come to me if you ever need help with anything im here for ya!!!!

Hey chicky, it all depends on how bad your cramps are. Some girls find they can't eat anything. But try sipping on some hot soup or drinking tea or water. Smile
