mod mod. for the past year i get my period every twoo weeks and its really annoying. is there a reason why???




Hey chica!

Chances are, you'll go through bunches of inconsistencies during the first few years of your period.  There's no definite reasons that we know of; but, stress is a factor.

Hey girl, it's tough, but it's really trial and error. Once you get it, you get it though.

Mod,mod,mod.hey I just got my period today not my first though so I tried on tampons but they hurt real bad. My sis uses them and she said they'd be a breeze but they weren't. every one I know uses tampons. is there something wrong with me.

 

Hey chica! Applying tampons for the first time is a bit uncomfortable. You may want to use pads instead and wait until you are a bit older to wear tampons. It also could be that you aren't inserting the tampon correctly. Ask your mom and sister to help you.

Mod, I just used a tampon for the first time today but when I put it in and took it out it kinda hurt. It is just cause it's the first time? Or should I use a lower absorbency one? Or is something wrong? Please help!


 


Hey chica! Your body isn't used to tampons, so its going to feel uncomfortable at first. However, I would definitely go with the lowest absorbancy ones until you get more used to them.

So I was reading all the comments people said and I saw one that said you can't get sick from wearing a tampon for less that 8 hours.... So if you wear them for more than 8 hours and get sick how will you know you are sick? Like is there and symptoms?




Hey girl,

You won't get sick like a cold or fever - but there is a very very small risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), which is a rare disease that is linked to the use of super tampons and leaving them in for longer than recommended. Read our article about it here for symptoms and more details.
