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...

Hey! So i have my period (this isnt the first time), its not that heavy but the color is really dark! Like not a dark red even, its like really really dark brown almost black. Usually its a brownish when im about to end my period but this is my second day and its way darker then usual. Whats up!?!?!

 

Hey girlie, darker blood usually means that it's older blood, so it hasn't come out very quickly. It's nothing to be concerned about.

Okay, so I really like this guy. I have liked him all through sixth and seventh grade, but in May of seventh grade 2012 (last year) he left. Well, kinda. I'm a military brat, so we live in Japan. So this boy, he used to go to the military school on base, but then he started going to school off-base last April. I still really really like him, and I am almost absolutely positive that he liked me back in seventh grade. We acted like a couple, but he never really asked me out. So now we text and stuff, but I haven't seen him since he left and I still like him. I don't have a problem with not being over him, but I want to tell him how I felt all through sixth and seventh grade with a sweet valentines text message. I don't know what to send to him to tell him I still like him and that I miss him a ton. THANKS!

Hey girl, since it's a text message, just keep it short, simple, and honest.  Text him how you feel.  Include a smiley face or "xoxo" to keep things light and fun.  Good luck!

Hey girlie,

If you are getting a period then you aren't pregnant!

hi this is cottoncandycutie's friend and im going to make a account later but for now i have a question.
1. so a few days ago (thursday) i went to the bathroom and was wiping when i noticed on the tp that there was a streak of red (there was nothing on my underwear) so i kept wiping and more red came back. everytime o would go to the bathroom it would do that and it stopped today. was this my first period. im super confused because i thought when you had your period it came out onto your underwear.
2. if this was my period how do i tell my mom. since it seems to have stopped should i just wait until next month, to see if it comes back, to tell her? and what should i say to make it least awkward as possible?
3. if this was my period what supplies do u reccomend i get: pads or tampons? absorbency? brand?
Thank you so much for your help. if you reply i'll definetly make an account so that i know you guys reply Smile

 

Hey! I think waiting til next month and seeing if it comes back is a good plan. Mark your calender for this time next month so you'll be prepared. I recommend tampons over pads because i think they're more comfortable. I like U by kotex, and i usually get regulars, but it depends on your flow. good luck!

I just started my period for the month i think and its super light! It's like pink instead of red and it doesn't even fill a pad in 4 hours. Is there something wrong with me? What should I do?

 

Hey! the only way to really feel reassured is to talk to your doctor about all of these questions Smile To be honest, that's what we mods just have to tell you guys when you come to us with any health concerns. You may very well be fine, but since we're not doctors and we can't even see you face to face, it's not for us to tell you what's fine and what isn't. You know your body. Trust your instincts and talk to your doc!

That Le Parcel thing is probably one of the dumbest things I've seen. Yeah it might seem convenient to have that stuff delivered right to you , but if you look at the box they give you , you only get a limited amount of pads and tampons. Personally I would need a lot more pads or tampons than they give you. Depending on what brand you buy or where you buy your stuff you can go to the store and buy a pack of tampons, a pack of pads , and a WHOLE bag of candy and maybe a little gift ( you don't really need that gift) for 15 bucks or less.

one day at school, we had a sub, and he was sitting in a chair right in front of me. i had my pads in a pocket in my binder behind a bunch of papers then because i had no pockets and i didn't carry a purse either. well, we had to get somithing out of our binders so i grabbed my binder that was standing next to my chair, but i didn't realize it was upside down and all my papers amd pads fell out. noone but the sub and my friend saw thankfully, but the sub was just like, "that must be embarrasing, huh?". my face went red.

My most embarrassing story is this: I go to boarding school outside of the US. I had to buy 'them' and I had to buy them in front of my friends. I then went to the cashier and he was like 19! That was awkward...

I've tried to use tampons numerous times, but I can never get them in right...I can't get the applicator in. It'll go in about half way, and then it'll start hurting if I try to put it in anymore. And then, when I try to put the actually tampon in, it's painful. Is something wrong? Is there anything I'm DOING wrong? Help, please!

Hey girl,

Try inserting the tampon at more of an angle- the boxes usually come with instructions to help ya out. If it still hurts; don't force it! Sometimes it takes awhile to figure it out.

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
