HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | DOWN THERE

My friends make fun of my hair down there!

 
My friends always make fun of my hair down there. They always ask if I’ve shaved “the forest” yet. It’s annoying! I keep it neat, don’t get me wrong, but my mom told me it’s supposed to be there. What should I do?

 

Oy! Besties really are the best, but sometimes you’ve just gotta tell ‘em to mind their own business. How you keep your hair down there (or anywhere else on your body, for that matter) is 100-percent your business.

 

Pubic hair is totally natural and it is suppose to be there and it’s not disgusting! Your pubic hair protects the sensitive skin surrounding your private parts from getting irritated by your clothes. Trust me, if you shaved yourself bald down there and then put on a pair of jeans, you’d notice a huge difference.

 

To shave or not to shave (or wax or otherwise remove hair…) is a decision that can only (and should only!) be made by you. What you choose to do with your bod is nobody else’s concern. Don’t feel pressured to change your ways just ‘cause your friends rag on your habits. My advice? Tell ‘em to shut up, then change the subject.

Help I just got my period for the first time, and it's really heavy, I have cramps too, what do i do?

 

Hey girl, don't worry! Go to the school nurse or your mom and ask for a pad. Maybe try a small dose of Advil for the cramps, but talk to a trusted adult first! You'll be fine! xx

I know that I have like a ton of questions, but I hope you can answer this one.
Even though I know (now, thank you) that my teacher will understand if I have my period, I'm still REALLY REALLY REALLY nervous about having it at camp, because I can't stay calm if she does ask me, and my friends will probably laugh at me, and I won't be able to do all the activities, and what if i leak? Please help, how do I calm down.




Hey girl,

The truth is, everyone at that camp - your teacher, your friends - will have their periods at some point. It's a fact of life. You can't prevent it from coming, so you might as well accept it and stay calm when dealing with it. If people find out, you'll deal with it when it happens. You'll shrug your shoulders and you'll tell them yeah I have my period, so what? No one will laugh at you - chances are, they'll be interested in it. I had my period before my best friends got theirs and they were SO interested, they always asked me questions about how I dealt with it and what it felt like. It's actually fun to be the person who is experiencing something that no one else has before, because they're all so curious about it. As for saying "I can't stay calm when she asks me" ... yes you can. Fake it til you feel calm for real - even if you're feeling crazy inside, take a deep breath and talk like it's no big deal. You can trick yourself into being laid back about it, I promise!

thanks sooooooooooo much!!!!
how many pads/tampons should I bring to camp (it's 3 and a half days) I normally have a regular or heavy flow.
thank you for answering my questions!!




No problem, girl! If you're using tampons, I'd personally probably stash a whole normal-sized box of regular tampons (I think it's about 18) in your duffel bag. It's wayyyy more than you'd ever use over 4 days, but that way, there are no surprises - if you have to change one after two hours one day, you won't panic because you're running low. As for pads, try to figure out how often you change your pads - every 4 hours? Every 3? Every 6? Divide that into each day and then always bring about 5 extras, just in case Smile

but what do I say if she (my teacher) does ask if I have my period? If I say "yes" she's probably going to have the talk with me the whole way back, and it's a long long walk. If she doesn't ask, how to I make sure that the conversation won't go to that topic?




Hey babe,

If she doesn't ask, just stay calm and act confident, like nothing is wrong. Nothing IS wrong - you just have your period, which is a totally normal thing! Don't act awkward and don't talk too much - just take a deep breath and act normal. She won't suspect a thing Smile If she does ask, just shrug and stay calm. Tell her yes you have it and you've had it for a while, so it's really no big deal. (Even if you don't REALLY think that yet.) If you act like you're cool with it, she won't try to talk to you about it because she'll know you're mature, you're used to it, and you don't need any help dealing with it!
