What if I get my period at the pool?

 
I’ve been invited to a bunch of pool parties this summer. What if I have my period? I’m scared of tampons.

Tampons can be super scary at first. But, if you want to swim during your period, tampons are a must.
 
Wigged out about the possibility of toxic shock syndrome? “The risk is extremely small, especially if you don’t keep a tampon in for more than several hours at a time,” says gynecologist Dr. Janet Rubin.
 
Dr. Rubin suggests trying a slender tampon on a day of full flow sometime before the first pool party. So by the time bikini season rolls around, you’ll be a pro.

i have been getting my period for a little over a year now, but lately i have been getting really nauseous after i go to bed. do you have any ideas on how to make it stop or what may be causing it. thanks in advance







Hey girl,

It's probably cramps! If they are really bad and bothering you so much that you can't sleep, definitely go see your doc. He will have some recommendations.

I'm almost 15, yet I haven't gotten my period yet. Is this normal?

 

Hey girlie!

Yes, it's totally normal. Everyone gets their period at different times. It ranges from 9 years old to 17 or 18!!

MOD! MOD!! MOD!!!
I am leaving for my summer vacation on Sunday and will be there until Friday. My period is due that Tuesday. It is kinda a beach vacation so my worry is that I will have my period during the whole vacation. Instead of wearing a tampon, are there any ways to either slow my period cycle down so I don't have it until after or to make it happen sooner? Thanks




Hey girl!

Ah, I'm sorry! That's a bummer. Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do to control what day you get your period, so the most you can do is just make the best of it!

I just got my period yesterday, but there wasn't blood in my underwear i saw it when i wiped (you know wear) and there still isn't blood on the pad. Is that normal?

I just got my period but there's no blood on the pad but there is blood when i wipe (you know where) is it normal for your first period to be that light?




Hey girl

That's completely normal! You might wanna wear a panty liner just in case it increases in heaviness.




good luck
