3 ways to not be embarrassed about buying tampons

Tell me if this sounds familiar: That time of the month is comin’ up fast, you check your tampon stash and—ugh!—your sis left the box...

I'm the normal 12 year old girl and I want to know when my period will start. My mom's started when she was 13-14 years old and I'm scared for when I'll have mine. What if I'm in class? Or I don't have tampons/pads? And when it does start which product do I use? I'm so scared. HELP!

I had just brought some tamps to my dads house, and his girlfriend and CUTE SON were over. Iwent into my room and tried to sneak one out, but my pants didn't have pockets. I tucked it into the side of my pants and started to walk towards the bathroom. By dad stopped me and asked what the bulge in the side of my pants was. I had to pull him aside to explain, and then later my dad's girlfriends son asked what the big deal was. Even though I didn't want to lie, I figured thid would be an exception.

I use #3, except Im always with my sis when we go and get stuff. one time, my BGF asked for a pencil, so I threw him my pencil case. But I was at my locker, and it was my period bag, not my pencil case. most embarrising moment ever!

The store I usually buy my tampons and pads at keeps rearranging things. First they moved all the condoms next to the tampons and pads,  I can understand why but now they moved all of those products you only see advertised on late night tv right next to the tampons. Talk about awkward, I already had an embarrassing run in with a guy I know, now it would be really embarrassing if we saw each other in front of those products. Hannah H.

I've been having really painful period cramps since yesterday so my mom got me this heating pad. I know how to work it and all but I don't know where to put it. My mom says to put it where is hurts but it hurts everywhere!

 

hey! put it on your abdomen where you feel the most pain. feel better soon!

MOD!!MOD!!!!
Everyone keeps telling me that tampons are super painful the first time!!! I haven't had my first period yet but I am getting close. I am very active and do lots of sports so I know I might need to use tampons...I can't talk with my mom about it because she doesn't like the subject (!?) I am FREAKING OUT! THNX!

 

Hey! don't freak out girl, it'll be fine. it'll take some practice but it doesn't hurt that much. It might be a little uncomfortable the very first time, but once you get used to them you'll stop noticing them at all. good luck!

I am 14 years old, and one extremely self conscience girl!!! I am always so afraid that my period is gonna appear in the middle of class or that I got too much discharge and it gets through my jeans or some random thing just gets through and it looks like I wet my pants. I don't know how on earth to get through this and because of it i am really shy help!!!!!

 

Hey girlie, wear panty liners every day. Panty liners are light so you won't feel them and they'll keep you dry from any discharge or a surprise start to your period.

It's kind of early, but I'm looking at swim suits because I'm going on a big vacation this summer, so I want some cute swim suits. I'm a short, petite, ruler, although I have some hips and my shoulders are super wide because I'm a swimmer. My parents won't let me wear bikinis, and I really hate one-pieces, so all I have left are tankinis. I don't know what kind to get. I have abs and so I'm not worried about showing a little stomach. Should I get a halter top type or just regular straps? And should there be ruffles? Also, what are the best suits for support because I'm not exactly small chested, though I'm not huge chested, and I want swim suits with cups instead of little girl suits with small amounts of padding and what not. Except I'm not sure if I can fit into juniors suits. I'm usually a 14 in kids suits... what size would be good in juniors? Please help!

 

Hey purple10115, maybe a 0 or 2 in juniors would work for you. Try checking out the tankinis at Delias, Target, Forever21, Macy's, Urban Outfitters and other shops at the mall. There are so many different patterns and colors so check everything out and see what you like. I'm sure you will find something and plus you've got a lot of time. Hope this helps! Xoxo Smile

you replyed to my comment saying that darker blood means older blood, like its just coming out really slowly. But its not, its fresh blood from my period, and its really really dark. Whats wrong????

 

Hey girlie, the blood that comes out from your period isn't always fresh. You can have older blood during your period that's been sitting there for a while.
