Use a pad for your first couple of times. Dont use tampons till you are aware of how heavy your flow is. Using one with too much absorbency can increase the risk of getting TSS. Keep plenty of pads on hand and change often. If you can keep some wet wipes around to keep yourself clean and fresh. Just remember, women have been doing this for thousands of years and they didn't have all the nifty stuff we have now. You can handle it. Good luck!
I dont know ahhaa. Probably because your not ready for a tampon yest as you would of decided. For your first period i would reccomend just using pads. Then on your next one try a tampon. Hope i helped x x
lol 13 years old isn't so bad to have your period. i figure the later the raging hormones come, the better. and a pad is best to use first because there are some risks to using tampons, and there's no pressure in using it because you're only 13. also, pads are cheaper (at least, i think so). but if you are doing something really active, i guess tampons might be good too. whatever makes you feel comfortable :)
Use a pad first time round , its just a bit secure, when u not used to having a period, tampons on the other hand are just as comfortable but there's still time 4 that...
for sure use tampons and a small pad as a backup. i started when i was 12. i cant ever go back to just pads. however, no question pads are healthier. i have not researched it but i heard it somewhere.also see above where that person wrote about not using a tampon with more a flow than u need. it will for sure take a while to figure it out. tampons could take time to get used to but they are worth it. I hope it should all go easy for you at this exciting time in your life. Excercise is a great way to avoid cramps also. I usually try to keep it up all month so this way, there it is not hard to start. it is great you are active!
Oh, congratulations then. You're already a young adult.:)
I suggest you use napkins. People get accidents with the tampon. It's easier to put in napkins too.:)
There was news about a girl who used tampon and got it stuck so don't use that unless you really know how.
tampons are better for that but use a pad it is ur first period use a tampon on ur 4 or 5 when it gets heavier
You always should start off on a pad...I think you should start on tmapons later....start on light then work your way up as you feel comfy. with it.
