I started my period today , and I HATE pads !!!?!

You can buy them yourself!. As far as your age goes!. Just ask your mom for the money and you go get them yourself!. But you need to ask other girls your age what kind they are using!. Don't just go in there and blindly buy something that you not sure about!. As an adult you still have to use a pad on the first & maybe second heavy day!. They make a ultra thin pad or a extra heavy pantie liner to wear with the tampon for security!. Better safe than sorry! Do some research on Google or Yahoo so you will fully understand everything about them!. The dangers and the positives! Then I suggest you try one or two from a friend before deciding to use them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think there is an age limit when it comes to buying tampons, and you also do not need your mom's approval to do it either!. Borrow one from a friend/older sister/oldercousin/friends mom, etc!. Or just go buy your own!. All the instructions are on the box!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i don't like pads either but tampons just seem uncomfortable and they can cause infections!. Maybe try to use the pad for a little bit longer and if it doesn't work give tampons a try!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should use pads even though they feel uncomfortable at first!. I started my period at age 9 so after awhile, you will get used to the feeling!. Don't get tampons until you are about 15+

Also, talk to your mom about it!. She can help you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

TAMPONS ARE EXTREMELY UNHEALTHY AND CAN CAUSE A SHOCK-SYNDROME THAT MIGHT BE FATAL!! EPECIALLY IF YOU'RE A YOUNG GIRL!

So just wear pads!.!.
I'm fifteen so I can kind of relate to being new to periods
but you get used to pads after a while!.!.
And trust me they're more comfortable than tamponsWww@Answer-Health@Com

---

---

It's your period and if you want tampons you should be able to use them!. They are comfortable and you barely even know they are there!. If you can't get out to buy them yourself and after talking to your mom she says no!.!.!.!.then go to your school nurse and she will be able to hook you up!. Good luck!
