YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD | GETTING STARTED

Should I Carry a Pad in My Purse?


 
I just went to the doctor, and he asked if I have my period yet. I said no—I'm only 10 years old! He said I will probably get my period when I’m 12. What should I do to prepare? My mom suggested putting a pad in my purse.
 
Knowing when you will get your period is difficult. The best way you can prepare for it is to learn a lot about it. Be totally prepared for when that special day comes by talking with your mom or any female relative.
 
We are always ready to give advice and help you know more about what your period means. If you are only 10 and he said that you will get it when you are 12, you don’t have to worry about it now—you still have plenty of time. But keep in mind that there isn’t a total science to the whole when-will-I-get-my-period thing. Your doc gave you his best bet, but it could still come earlier or later.
 
If you want to be prepared, carrying a pad in your purse when you turn 12 or a little before is a great idea. Since it’s hard to predict when the day will come, don’t think about it too much or let it worry you. It’s a part of our womanhood that we all must go through.

So I just got my period. Well, I'm a dancer and we just started doing fouettes. My mom won't let me wear tampons. What am I supposed to do?!




Hey babe,

I'll bet your dance practice isn't too long, so try changing your pad right before practice and using a regular sized pad. That way, it won't be SUPER noticeable. You could also try wearing a pair of shorts over your spandex during your period, so the pad isn't right there "sticking out." But after some time passes, if you're still uncomfy it might be worth it to talk to mom again about tampons. You don't wanna annoy her, but you can totally tell her that you feel embarrassed that your pad isn't hiding at all under your dance leotard - even show her what it looks like. Tell her you're mature enough to start using tampons and really, really hope she sees your side. Be mature and don't get overly emotional if she doesn't agree...but definitely show her how your life will improve if you can use them!

@ vintagestyle
if u have spotting, ur most likely going to get ur period within a couple months, every one is different tho, ik u have probly heard u get ur period at the same age ur mom got hers, but thts not tru at all, my mom was 14, and my sis got hers wen she was 12, im 12 and i get cramps all the time so im probly gonna get mine the same time my sis did, if u start to get cramps below ur bellybutton, tell ur mom, shell probly hav just wat u need (pantiliner/pads) and if u still get spotting, u shood probly ask ur mom if u can get pantiliners or borrow sum of hers bcuz it stinks having to throw away 20 pairs of undies just cuz of spotting, and wen school starts store a couple pads in ur bag or locker just to be safe, good luck!

Whats spotting?
And every time I think I have my period its discharge! What does having your period feel like? Do you have to have cramps before period(s)? All my sisters had there period at age 12. Except my mom, she had her period at 15. Could I have my period at 12?
( My sisters had a different dad could that be a reason I wouldn't get my period at 12?)
THANK YOU<3
P.S FIVE questions answer all please




1. Spotting refers to very light vaginal bleeding. 

2. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by what it feels like. 

3. Some people have cramps, while others do not. 

4. No one can tell when you will have your period -- only time will time.

5. Ones paternity has nothing to do with your period--everyone is different.
