MOD MOD! I used 2 wear a pad at night, but then it would leak down the back because I was laying down. I tried heavy and nighttime pads, but they didn't work, so I just switched to a tampon. I put it in right before I go 2 bed, and I take it out in the morning, but I was wondering if there is a better alternative that has less risk of TSS or is just more convenient. Thanks!




Hey girl, I think you could try a super absorbent pad, but keep in mind that  your period actually flows lighter at night! You may find as your cycle becomes more normal, pads are fine for overnight.

What's a menstrual cup?




Hey girl, a menstrual cup is another thing you can wear during your period instead of a pad or tampon. You insert it, and it collects the fluid rather than absorbing it.

quick question when u get ur period does that mean u cud b a mom my friend heard the story of a girl who got pregnant at 11 i was like uhhh idk if thats posible plz help thnx!

Hey girlie. Technically, once you have your period, you can get preggers. But, that's pretty doubtful that it would happen at such a young age. 15 and 16- yes, but 11 is a little young for a body to be ready for that.

MOD im going to the beach over break, and i know its recommeded to wear a tampon, but i feel really uncomfortable with that! can i just wear a pad, or could i not wear anything at all?




Hey girlie -- wearing a pad would be the equivalent of wearing a diaper; it would swell and won't stick, as it will be wet. If you go without, there's also the possibility of leaking. You could always try a menstrual cup if your uncomfortable with the idea of tampons.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I have been getting every symtom possible to show my monthly gift is coming… but no gift... The other day I went to the bathroom and this thing was like sticking to me. i pulled down my erhm... pants and it just like went together and sat on my pantyliner (that i use because of heavy discharge) It was realllllllllllllllllllllllllly sticky discharge so it looked like a booger almost but it wasnt yellow or anything. THEN I got to class and my face started BREAKING OUT!!!!!! like no joke. Is this a sign? since then i havent gotten any more of that but the pimples are still there and the discharge is still heavy...
Help?
Thanks




Hey girl, it could definitely be. Be prepared with pads and know that while no one can tell you when exactly your period will come, it's always best to be prepared and safe than sorry.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD!!! so im not sure if i got my period yet, and im afraid to tell my mom. When i went to the bathroom, there was a little bit of red on the toilet paper that i used, and i don't think its enough to be my period, but im not sure. There is also white stuff in my underwear that is really gross and smelly, and i was wondering if there was a way to prevent it, or to atleast keep my underwear clean? Thanks!




Dont be nervous about telling your mom! They know all about this stuff and will be able to really help you Smile also that might be the start, if you ask your mom im sure she could tell you. As for the white discharge theres nothing you can do to prevent i. Sorryy. xoxo kerra

So, today I think I got my period. There was red in my underwear, and stuff like that. But when I went to the bathroom today, when I, uh, wiped after I was done with my... business... Something dark red and REALLY gloppy came out on the toilet paper... Is this normal? Answer ASAP, please!
Sarah.




That is your period and that is just what happens when youre on your period. There will be times when darker lumps will come out. Its just the lining of your uterus coming out (ie your period). Dont worry! Its completely normal Smile
