Are these clumps OK?!

 

Check these out, too...

  • Pad prob! How do I get them from my locker to the bathroom?
  • Have a happier period--yes, really!--with our playlist
  • Does it hurt when you first get your period?
  • I need longer pads! How do I tell Mom?
  • What stinks down south?

I get brown clumps on my pad during my period, and it freaks me out!


What’s wrong?


Nothing like brown clumps to remind you that periods are, well, icky! But relax—you’re fine. When a girl’s flow is in full force, it tends to be red. But when it slows down, it becomes brown from air exposure.


Plus, your uterus is self-cleaning, so when you menstruate you shed its lining. That means clumps and clots are not only OK, they’re part of the process.

Hey girl! It takes a while to get regulated, so no biggie. It could be random like this for a year or so.

Hey babe,


The average age is about 12, so you have nothing to worry about. Everyone starts developing at a different time and goes through it a little bit differently.
