My friends make fun of my hair down there!

They always ask if I’ve shaved “the forest” yet...

okay, I have one very important question. I'm going camping, with my class on Monday, and lucky for me, it's my time of the month Frown. My teacher said that we always have to have an adult with us, when we go the washroom, because it's like far away from the cabins, so I'm scared to change my pad or tampon because they will hear me open the wrapper (FYI, my teacher is a girl) Plus I fell like I'm the only girl in my class who has their period. I'm scared that she's (my teacher) is going to ask me if I have it or not. HELP, how do I change my pad/tampon there?




Hey girlie,

It's nothing to be afraid of! Especially since your teacher is also a girl, she'll totally understand - she has her period too, after all. She probably won't even mention it even if she does hear the wrapper, but if she does it is not to embarrass you - if she DOES ask, she'll be asking in case you need help/have questions, etc. She wants to help ya and make sure you feel comfortable no matter what, so don't panic. She's someone you can totally trust with this kinda stuff! Smile

I only use pads but I really want to try a tampon, but I don't wanna tell my mom! Anyway I kinda do know how to insert one, but then again I don't. Do they hurt? How do you get them in just right? Help please!?

I know that this is not on topic, but I need help.
How do i know if i need a new size bra, and how do i tell my mom that i think i need a new one? Thanks a bunch!




Hey girlie,

If your bra is on the loosest hook, the straps are totally loose, and you feel discomfort because your boobs are sagging/busting out of the bra, you should probably try a new size. Your current bra might have just gotten worn out though, so make sure you try the same size too just in case! And to tell your mom, take a deep breath and catch her at a time when she is relaxing and not stressed out. Explain how your bra feels and tell her you don't want to go crazy buying bras, but you need a new one because your current one is making you feel sore/uncomfortable. Be mature about it and she'll understand! Smile

My flow is always regular or really heavy! And my friends always borrow my pencils and stuff, so they'll see it. Not just my friends either, the boys in front of me borrow them too.



Well, there are a few brands of tampons that are really tiny just for times like these.  You could snag some of those from a drugstore and then slip them in your pants pockets! Jordan S.

is it okay to use a tampon for the whole school day, and not change it? (8:35-3:00 is my whole school day) How am i supposed to change it at school without the whole class seeing me? I have to go all the way inside the school to go to the bathroom, and the cloakroom (bags and jackets) is on the other side of the room from where i sit. What do i do?
Thanks!



Oh, that's tricky if your bags are across the room.  Not changing it should be fine on days when you have a light flow.  Otherwise, maybe you could tuck a small tampon in your pencil case and slip it under your shirt until you get to the bathroom?

greengirl, You can shave what you want. But most of us at least trim and so many of us shave all or part of it. Im thinking of going to the gyno soon and was concerned because I shave the whole area down there, but I was reading that its very normal to be completely shaven down there, even when going to the gyno.

Mod Mod Hi im 15 Years Old Today i was sitting on my bed watching tv and Didnt even really notice that i had to go to the bathroom but i peed in my pants and i tried to stop but i couldnt!!Frown iM sO Embarrassed B/c of my age can you tell me what made this happen to me and how i can make it not happen again



Are you sure you went to the bathroom?  It's more likely that it would be discharge than pee.  If it is though, it's just that you have a weak bladder. Jordan S.

I finally got the hang of tampons, but only the plastic ones... there are only cardboard ones left at my house, and i don't have any lubricate, the only reason i can get the plastic ones in is bcuz they slide in there without much effort, the ones with the cardboard applicators though, don't slide in, and i need to change my tampon soon, so do u have any tips for sliding in tampon with a cardboard applicator? (other that using the luricate you get in stores, bcuz i dont have any)




I don't personally have much trouble with either but I would imagine that you could use water to help moisten the area to help the applicator slide in more easily.

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
