I had my period during the last week of school, and I usually stuff a bunch of pads into the small pocket on the outside of my backpack. Well, I guess I forgot to zip it up all the way, because as I was walking down the hall, I heard a series of plops. I glanced over my shoulder to see what was making the noise. I didn’t see anything until I looked down and saw a trail of pads marking my steps. Eek!

Do you have a favorite kind of tampon? I've only used UbyKotex and Playtex Sport...i think...and i like the compact ones but both kinda leak a little now and then (not because i need to change them)... so do you have any suggestions or is it just personal preference?

 

Hey girl, the best kind of tampons I've found are Tampax Pearl w/ plastic applicators--they rarely leak! Good luck xox

I just started my period at school today and I really dont know what to do. I told my mom and I havent freaked out yet, but I'm worried that I will at some random time. What should I do? Thanks




Hey girl, you won't freak out. Just have pads ready and know it's NBD. Stay calm.

mod mod mod so i got my period like in may and it is really heavy. i dont go through pads or anything but i feel full really fast. my dad makes me go to softball practice twice a week and we have a game this weekend so im nervouse about having it during the game. i also have to go to the lake tomarow morning and im scared to use tampons please please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Hey Sweetie,

Don't be too nervous! Pick a very absorbant pad with "wings" that will keep it put. Check out this post on how to put in tampons: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/10/08/How-To-Use-Tampon.aspx

That's a little harsh. Next time make sure to zip the pouch or put them in a little plastics baggie and put them in the bottom of your backpack where you can reach them or but won't fall out or be seen by people if you forget to zip it again.
Comment on my page if this helps!!! <3
