Pad prob! How do I get them from my locker to the bathroom?

I just recently started my period, and I keep my pads in my backpack. How can I get from my locker to the bathroom without people seeing my pads?

 

 

Good question! There are a couple of ways to be super stealthy about hitting the bathroom when you’re on your period. Pick the option that works best for you (and if we missed one, let us know in the comments!).

 

#1 – Shove it up your sleeve

Admittedly, this one works best with tampons, but we’ve done it with pads, too, when times get desperate. Just slide the pad from your locker into the sleeve of a long-sleeved shirt, sweater, sweatshirt or jacket. Done!

 

#2 – Stick it in your waistband, in a hoodie pocket or under your shirt

Wearing a tank or tee? Try shoving the pad in the waistband of your jeans, beneath your top or conceal in a coat.

 

#3 – Grab a bag

Easiest option? Snagging a small purse for your period products, a toothbrush and a little lip gloss.

So, my periods been late for awhile, but I just got it the other day again, but I wasn't expecting it this week. You see, my birthday party is tomorrow, and it's swimming. I have to swim at my own party, right? I don't talk to my mom about it, and even if I did, she's going to be gone until the party starts. I don't have any tampons, and neither does she (I've checked). So what should I do about this? Thanks.

Hey girlie,

It's totally normal to be irregular with your period at first! You could hang poolside in shorts, or if you've tried tampons before, you could ask your dad or an older sibling to take you to the store to get some. It might be a little awkward, but they'll totally understand, and it would be way better than missing out on your party. Happy birthday!

Is it true that if you do a lot of sports you might
Not get your period!
Please help I'm 13 and sill haven't gotten mine.
And my parents say its because I do gymnastics
Thanks!

 

Hey sporty girl! No matter what, you will get your period sooner or later.  You are still pretty young so it can happen within the next year or so.  Playing sports may slow the process down because when you are active your periods tend to be lighter and shorter.  Don't worry your lil present will come when its ready.
