MOD! MOD! MOD!
wht is discharge? i'm 12 and i still don't know.... and i'm 2 embarrest 2 ask my mom.... Foot and how will i tell if i have it??? Frown plus if i have discharge does tht mean i am going 2 have my period? Frown




Hey chica,

Read this article for all the deets on discharge and to help you figure out what your bod is going through right now Smile  (And this one will help you figure out what it should look like when you do have it.) Doctors say that discharge starts about 6 months to a year before a girl's first period, but that's not a guarantee that it will definitely start then. You just gotta be prepared and try to relax until your actual period decides to come Smile




And don't be embarrassed to ask your mom though!! Remember - even though it feels a little awkward to bring up with your mom, he's a girl and she went through this too when she was younger! She has a lot of valuable information and advice for you, so totally take advantage of it Smile

MOD MOD MOD! I just saw that there was little drops of blood on my pad i have been leading up to this day but ever since i changed it a hour ago nothing has happend is this discharge? I'm not the person who knows.




Hey lovely,

Don't worry - our periods vary in flow so even in one hour, it could be heavy, and the next it could seem like it's not even there anymore! Since you saw the blood though, stick with the pantyliner/pad for at least 6 hours afterwards. If you still don't see any blood on the pad or when you wipe, you might be safe. But always be prepared with a pad just in case!

This is extremely strange. My discharge is white and I don't think discharge could stain any of my clothes. But when I went to the bathroom and looked at my purple undies that I was wearing, my undies had turned light blue. Is that wrong?

MOD...Please?
I'm going through a 'joyful' stage with below the equator. It smells weird and, yes, discharge is coming out. I'm embarrassed because it's called my family's 'curse ' where all the girls hit puberty early. I started wearing a bra in third grade. I'm in fifth now and I have to hide my panties when I go to a friend's house because of this discharge. What can I do?

 

Hey girly, discharge is normal. All women (or most) have it before and after their period. Be sure to wear pantiliners in your underwear so that it does not ruin them. Pantiliners are very thin pads, you can hardly feel them. Change them every couple of hours or so.

sometimes my downstairs gets really smelly were i can smell it when im sitting in class. is there any way to make my u know what smell fresher?




Hey girlie,

Try feminine wipes, like Summers Eve or Playtex Sport brand. They're wipes that you can hide discreetly in your backpack or purse, then use in the bathroom "down there" to freshen up!

I Have a bump on the inside of my thigh that is around the "down there" area.. Its pretty big, like the size of a dollar coin, and sore, Its just on my leg so it cant be anything serious... Right?? Do you have any idea what it could be??

 

Hey girlie,

It could be an ingrown hair that has gotten irritated or a mosquito/spider bite. If it sticks around for a couple days without getting smaller/less painful or sore, definitely ask mom or dad (or a school nurse, etc.) about it. It's probably nothing, but it's always better to make sure with a professional if it lasts a while Smile

If you use a lubricant like KY Jelly to help with making the tampons go in easier can that affect the color and thickness of discharge that doenst go into the tampon? It seems the texture is also different at times, I am wondering if using too much lubricant may have something to do with that.
