Hey I googled 'how to insert a menstrual cup' on google and I found step by step instructions. But when I tried to insert it it was fine for like 5 mins then it was painful. The guide said something about it being lower than ur cervix But I don't know what or where that is. Help?

Hey kitkate963, mhmm it could've been. Usually brown is old blood. Was there brown stuff after your period?



Mod I'm adding on to my previous question. Does this mean that having brown stuff about 6 months ago was my 1st period? Lynae P.

The flow being irregular and brown is completely normal and happens to everyone. When the flowing is slow, which happens quite often, the blood oxidizes and turns brown. You shouldn't have any problems using the bathroom.

Hey maddiescar97, the may be hurting because they're the wrong size. Try going down to a smaller size and see if they feel comfortable. Hope this helps! Xoxo

it's a little embarrassing to ask, but are tampons always supposed to hurt when you put them in? i've tried some a couple times but i really don't like to use them because they kind of hurt. is there any way to help them hurt less? thanks! Lynae P.

by maddiescar97 on 1/28/2012 5:17:31 PM

Hey Rosalie2996, it's completey normal for it to run in the shower, especially if you have a heavy flow. Mine does all the time, so no worries. Hope this helps! Xoxo



Hey! It's me again. So I've had my period for about three years now, and every time I'm on it, I never EVERtake a shower. I know that's probably bad, but when I first got mmy period and took a shower, it was like dripping down my leg and it just felt and looked so wrong! Is that even normal?! R u supposed to use a tampon when going in the shower or something? I've never used a tampon and my period has always always ALWAYS been super super heavy, I just don't know what other girls do, and I really need some advice. Thanks! Lynae P.

Guys and Periods---

Why are guys terrified of knowing anything about our periods? Not only does my bf not want to know, its like he almost is avoiding me and he sometimes does it even when I'm not on it, he just thinks I am. My friends say some of their guy friends have admitted they hate even thinking about periods or even the thought of us getting them. Does anyone know what I am saying, have you had the same problems?

by luckykel on 1/12/2012 10:51:24 PM

Hey RainKisses, I think you should ask your doctor what's going on. I can't really tell what it could be, but a doctor would defintely have the answer. Hope ya feel better! Xoxo



MOD MOD MOD!!!!
okay so i've had my period since june 2009 (so like 2 1/2 years) and i read somewhere that it should start getting regular after 2 years. My period was pretty regular but then it never came in november and again in december. Im not pregnant or anything but im worried something is wrong with me. It wasnt bothering me last month but it's starting to get to me. I've been like getting pre-period symptoms for a while (sore boobs, discharge) as if my eriod would come normally but it hasn't.I know im one to worry and stress myself out. Advice? Also, I think my cycle is every 5 weeks or something so it comes like 1st week of one month, 2nd month of the next...and so on. Lynae P.

by Rose2112 on 1/3/2012 5:51:09 PM

MODD PLEASE HELP!!!
I just started my period for the first time at the first of december which was about 4 weeks ago.And i would like start then quit then a few days later start and then quit again. I know that normally for when you first start, but iv now been on mine for 18 days straight and its kinda scaring me. I dont want to talk to my mom or doctor about it because i feel uncomforable talking to them about it. Is it normal to be on it for that long cause im kinda scared?? Thanks!!

Hey girlfriend, I'm super busy trying to respond to all your questions. Unfortunately I can't get to everyone, so ask some of your gal pals on here for help. There are so many chicas who are more than happy to give you advice. Thanx a bunch for understanding. x0x0

Thats not weird at all! Everyone develops differently. Getting your period is never something that makes you weird dont worry hon! xoxo kerra

If you get your period, I would probably go to my locker to grab a pad, then go to the nurse (if she has a bathroom in her office) so you can take care of it/clean up without any pressure. Take your time, gather your composure, then go back to class. Getting your period can feel a lil stressful, but it's no reason to call your mom/go home in the middle of the day! You can get through this - we all have done it before and, though sometimes it's not fun, it's no biggie! And if you need more pads, try bringing a couple extra to stash in your locker or go to the nurse to ask her for one. She probably has plenty to lend you!

MOD !! (;

I've had my period for 3 years now (I'm fourteen) but I still have a few questions.

1. My period is super painful. I take pain killers, but they don't help all that much. :/ Any tips on ways to make my time of month less miserable..even just a little?

2. Also, my periods have always been pretty regular, but now that's starting to change which is kind of scaring me...Aren't they supposed to become regular over time..not irregular!?!?!?! I think it may be because I'm super stressed & I've recently lost weight, are these possible reasons to irregular periods?

3. I'm on my high school's soccer team, and our uniform shorts are white :/ when it's my time of month I freak out...I don't want to leak during a game! My period is very very heavy...& if I have to wear that uniform for 4 hours per day...it's kinda concerning to me Any way to make my flow less heavy or even tips to get myself to not stress so much over one silly thing?!?!

Thanks so much!<3

Okay, so I have had my period for like, er, about four months. Whenever I get it, there is always a funky smell coming from "down there." I wear pads and liners, but no tampons. Anyways though, is there a way to get it to stop? Thanks!

This is totally normal! (Gonna be gross for a min, sorry chickie...) - It's the blood coming out and sitting there in the pad/drying on your skin that gives it a funky odor. Just make sure you bathe regularly and, if you need a lil refresh, wipes of feminine cleanser (like the body wipes from Playtex Sport or Always Cleansing Cloths) can help keep you feeling clean in the middle of the day It's just a few days a month, so try to get through it! <3

Because right below that your ovaries are releasing an egg. It takes a bit of effort and muscle work, so it hurts a bit. Dont worry about it though! its a nice sign that youre gonna get your period soon xoxo kerra

Mod mod mod!!!!!!! Ummm I was just wondering, is your first period always going to bethe same lenghth as as all the rest? Thanks

Hey girlfriend, for the first year your period can be irregular, meaning it's lighter sometimes or last longer other times. Check out our period page on here to learn more about your cycle.

by toostie82 on 9/14/2011 6:07:04 PM

My first few periods were heavy, too. But by now (about a year and a half later), they aren't as heavy. Either that or I've gotten used to it!
