well in your period as you are loosing blood, you will feel a bit letdown and maybe a bit grumpy, but dont worry about it, and if you have pain when you have your period you should take some pills

everyone laughs at me like if i give a fuck what they think...

look it up online
there's tons of info about it but here's some of the basics...

since ur just startin out i would stick to pads for a while
just make sure you wear the appropriate pad for the flow
so if its heavy u want a heavy pad
if its lite u can wear a lite pad

i usually just change pads whenever i go to the bathroom...

for tampons the same thing goes basically
appropriate size for flow
also change them every 4-8 hours
i usually just change it when i go to the bathroom as well
but u can go to the bathroom without changing it

u can swim with a tampon and do all other sports
u can pretty much do anything with a tampon

pads are more limited so i suggest a tampon if you are going to be very active




well i hope that helps some
good luck

have a happy period. always.

lol

Well, you may "PMS" before, after and during your period. You get mood swings, your crabby and grumpy. You "swing" from one emotion to another, and you don't really realize it, you can't help it.

Uhm, I got my period for the first time in sixth grade on picture day. I didn't realize it or feel anything until I went to the bathroom. It's really not hard to deal with. You get it, you wear pads or tampons, you get mood swings and then its over. haha. Oh, you may get cramps. I get a few here and there, but nothing unbearable. You can always use painkillers if you're in too much pain. uhm, don't worry about leaking either. Just make sure to get pads that give you good coverage. If it's your first time using tampons, use a pad as well. Just to be safe.

The worst thing for me is running the miles required during the school year while I'm on my period. I get cramps more easily and yes, it's uncomfortable. You'll get used to all of this.

When you get your first period you're like "OMG BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD" *Scream*

But after like a few it just becomes normal

And I still find them hard to deal with and ive been having them since i was 14

The hardest part is PMT, which I get reallllly badly and I have to hide away in my bedroom so I don't bite off people's head lol

And cramps can be a pain too...but I usually just sit with a hot water bottle on my tummy and it takes away the pain.

But don't worry about it

Hey darcied, just go up to her and say it, because there really isn't any other way. And you'll get used to the pads soon enough. Maybe if you walk around like you've got a wedgie for a bit, she'll realise something's up.

lol just tell your mom... its normal so its not like you did something wrong you would have to confess
yeah it is pretty much use pads or tampons and take pain killers for the pain. and midol works best for me because it also helps with the bloating i feel as well as the tiredness and pms.... but if you want to sleep just take regular tylenol or advil because midol has like a shit load of caffiene in them
