Maybe instead of telling your mom you want to totally switch, tell her that you want to wear one during your athletic period so you don't have to worry about the physical activites. This is what I do when I'm on mine. Usually i'm thinking about it the whole period and I never have forgotten to take it out after class (when we get dressed). Ask your mom about that and then gradually ask her if you could wear one for this time of the day because of such and such to get her used to the idea that you will be wearing one more often and that you have had lots of practice and been responsible about remembering to take them out on time. Then get to where you can wear them all the time with your mom knowing she can trust you with them.

just use tampons that are made for teenagers, they ahve those. dont buy any fat ones because you might get TSS.
anyways just remember to take it out evry 5-7 hours and you're good

I would tell your mom what you've told us; that you're uncomfortable with the way the pad feels, and that you would feel alot better during activities if you used tampons. Maybe you could suggest she let you try some and see how it goes? Just remember to change them regularly, and you should be fine.

Tell your mom then!

I had the same problem when I was your age, and it took me a while to get the knack of tampons. You just gotta keep at it. What no one told me was the vagina is right at the bottom of at all, right in between everything.

You're 12, obviously mature enough for tampons among many things.

Aren't u lucky. Your'e one of the least ones who actually feel very comfortable when u first start tampons. My mom wasn't there to help me when I tried them (of course I never asked her) but talke to your mom like u just told us. tell her that u think it's best that u should use them while you're playing sports first. If she's uneasy about this situation, the first thing u have to try is compromise, and that's the sports part. good luck!
