Awww honey!!!!!!!!!
One of my best friends lives just with her dad cause her mum died from breast cancer 3years ago!!! (We are both 15)
When she started her period she was 13 and was so freaked out about telling her dad that she didnt tell him until the next day either because she was scared!!!
I told her she should tell her dad and that he would probably understand!
So he was sitting on the couch reading and she went in and sat beside him and said dad i need to tell you something!
and she said i started my period last night and i dont have any pads or tampons and stuff!!!!!!!!!
And he said hun why didnt you come tell me last night!?!?
and he took her to the store and they bought like 10different types of pads and ten different types of tampons!! Until she figured out what kind she liked the best!!
Trust me your dad will understand maybe write him a note and put it in the bathroom or something for when he wakes up or maybe jsut go into his room now and tell him if hes awake!!!
Good Luck hun everything will be okay!!!!

your dad knows tihs is going ot happen so will expect this talk sweetie!. jsut tell him you have started your period and need some pads!. he will help you and dont worry about it - its completely normalWww@Answer-Health@Com

He's bound to know it's coming so just tell him, if you're honest and mature about it I'm sure it'll help him cope!.
Bloody sheets isn't a problem, it happens to the best of us, so just explain that you're going to need some form of sanitary product!.
Good luck! :o)Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you haven't already changed (Which you probably did) do so!.

Your dad is old enough to be informed of the womenly process, for he married your mother and was most likely informed in school!.

So go ahead and tell him "I need pads," or tampons, whichever you think is more comfortable!.

Yes, it's embarrassing, but it will be worth it!.

Best of luck!. <3Www@Answer-Health@Com

talk to him hun its perfectly normal and nothing to be worried aboutWww@Answer-Health@Com

you need to tell him he well understand if not speak to one of your female teachers at school one way or the other he has to know for your health !.Www@Answer-Health@Com

put Ur sheets i the wash!.!.
he will probably figure it out himself!.!.!.
and just tell him if ur really that embarrassed right him a note!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

tell him hes yourt dad explain its hard for you to talk but you need his help he will not get angry as its nature you have to have a period and i think he will understand sorry to hear about your mum it must be hard for you xxxxxxx goodluckWww@Answer-Health@Com

Leave a shopping list for him to see!. Put pads on it, so he'll get the hint!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just tell him you need to go to the store to pick up some girly stuff!. I mean eventually he'll figure it out when he sees pads and tampons under the sink!. And ask him if you can go in the store alone!. While in there pink up some stain remover too and you can wash your sheets!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There comes a time in life when you just have to surrender!. Swallow your pride!. And say something!.

This will be excellent character building for you!. And you and your father will get along better after this!.

Welcome to adulthood!

PS: Direct honesty wins all battles!.
Beating around the bush is tiring, and that's how you get into the habbit of lying!.!.!.!. and lying sucks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

dont worry i had to tell my dad first too!!!
u have to tell him eventually!. just be like "Dad, I got my period!. Can we go to the drugstore to get some tampons" he wont be like "ew, no" he will tkae u!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

just tell him, you're gonna have to n he knows it was obviously gonna happen at some point so just say "dad i started my period" or something like that!.!. good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

you really need to tell him,, at your age he is probably expecting it,, put your sheets in to wash and then ask him for some money as you need some personal items from the pharmacy,, he will understand what you mean!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You're probably going to have to be the grown-up here!. I don't expect you're worried because you know what it is, so all you have to say is "Dad, I need some tampons/pads", and there's no need for it to be awkward for either of you!.

He's not going to act strangely about it or anything!. Your mum had them, so he'll probably know all about them!.

You should probably wash your PJs and sheets yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you really can't tell your dad!. Ask a friend for some pads!. But you really should just tell your father!.!.it is kind of a uncomfortable subject but you'll feel way better if you tell him and he'll probably drive you out right then and there to get some "materials" lolWww@Answer-Health@Com

Oh no!

I know your embarrassed, but I think it's best to tell your Dad straight up that you need to go buy some things at the store!. If you feel uncomfortable telling him in person, write him a letter or e-mail!.

If you have an older sibling or friend, maybe they could drive you!? Maybe borrow some pads from a friend until you get the courage!. You could even call a family member you trust!.

Sorry I'm not much help!Www@Answer-Health@Com

ok, just calm down!. its totally natural for this to happen!. i remember when i first got my period ( i was like 12) i tried to hide it!.!.!.but you cant!. your a woman now and your going to need things like pads and tampons once a month atleast!. do you have a job!? because if you do i recommend going to the store by yourself and picking out some pads!. dont try for tampons yet, youll just get freaked out!. it will be ok!. if you dont have some money, you may have to tell your dad about it!.!.!.i know its not something thats easy to do, but maybe you can just say 'dad, i need some money for pads ' he will get the picture and most likely wont want to take the conversation any further!. good luck, and remember its nothing to feel ashamed about! your a woman, its natural!Www@Answer-Health@Com

hey!. aargh, awkward, huh!? blood will come out with cold water so why not try putting your sheets in the washing machine, or if there's not enough time, try cleaning it up with a wet cloth!. then say you spilled a glass of water over your PJs and sheets!. why not call a friend and ask them to bring over some pads or tampons, or else go on a walk to the corner shop to get some!? obviously telling your dad would make this all easier, but u seem very adament that this is not the best option for you, so i respect that!. hope this works out for you!. good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your period is a perfectly natural occurance that you will have to live with!. Don't be embarrassed!.It will be a little bit uncomfortable but you will both get through it!. Your father is aware of the females monthly cycle and I am sure that he has been expecting the conversation that you need to have with him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Make the bed so the stains are hidden and hide ur PJs somewhere until you can wash them!.

However i think you might have to tell ur dad!. Its embarassing definitly but every woman has it, its normal, and he should understand!.
Maybe tell him you have something to say but its embarassing and write it down!. (when i have to tell my parents something i dont want to, i write it)!.

I hope that helps, and good luck to you hun! <3Www@Answer-Health@Com

Thiss is a really difficult situation! i feel so sorry for you, isnt there anyone u can talk 2 about it or any mates who could help you out!? You either have to just take a deep breath and say "Dad this is a bit embarassing but!.!.!." or you could leave a note next to his door so that you dont actually have to say anything to him!. I know it sounds stupid but once your dad realises that can you can confide in him about something as embarassing as this, it could bring you closer as father and daughter!. Good luck!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

same thing happened to me except my mom died when i was 12!. what works to get blood out of clothes/sheets for me is to fill the bath tub up a lil bit with cold water, rub bar soap on the stained area and let it sit!. as for telling your father!.!.!. unless you feel like you can go down to the pharmacy by yourself and get pads yourself i'd ask your gfs or something!. or lie and say you need money for X but use it for pads!.!.!. do you have a trusted neighbor!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh sweety please don't be afraid to tell him, he knows all about that stuff from being married to your Mom and I'm sure he'd feel really bad knowing you're afraid to tell him so go on just do it, and if you just don't know what to say how about just printing this page out and handing it to him, OK, so go now, I'll wait here til you get back :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Honey, first off congrats on stepping into the adult world!. Next thing to do is to tell Dad you need to go shopping for some must have items!. And remember, your Dad was married to your mom and knows all about periods!. It is a natural part of life and he probably has been wondering himself when this would happen and how he would deal with it!. Maybe you can sneak him a note and tape it on the bathroom mirror!. My daughter asked her Dad about it at the supper table, what he knew about it and such!.!.!.!.we laughed and yes, he was rather embarrassed, but it was all okay!. I hope this goes well for you!. In the meantime, maybe you could use some paper towels or something instead of toilet paper as that really doesn't do much!. And wash your bedding and Pjs in cold water or at least soak them in cold water before washing!. My heart goes out to you and I wish I was there to help you but I am sure your Dad will help you the best he can!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Believe it or not, but your father went through many period cycles with your mother prior to her passing away, and I'm sure he was sent on many late night runs to buy feminine products when it happened!. Regardless I'm very sorry that you lost your mother at such a young age!.

This is a very very very normal process that he knows you will go through!. Don't be embarrased to speak to him about it!. To be honest he really needs to know that you are going through this so he can help you start scheduling appointments with an OB/GYN you feel comfortable with!. Even if he is uncomfortable talking to you about this, he can still call and set an appointment with an OB/GYN to walk you through it and help you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

tell your dad the truth tell him that you have found out that you are young woman!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i live with my dad 2 so i know what your goin through well in those 20 mins think of a speech 2 tell him , do worry its not that bad tellin him !. My dad just hugged me and told me not to worry , he told me all i needed 2 no, and he go a book out the libary 2 help me and he went with me 2 superdrug and asked 1 of the women 2 help us about tampons and pads !. DONT WORRY he'll understand it's not as bad as u think trust meWww@Answer-Health@Com

TELL HIM, he's gone through sex ed and knows girls have periods!. You should have let him know last night so he could run out and get you some pads so you wouldn't get blood all over the sheets!. Now he's got to wash them!.

So go, tell him now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First if you haven't done so change the sheets and your pj's!. When your dad gets up ask him if you can go to the store for a couple of minutes for "girl stuff" i am sure he will know what you are talking about and wont ask any questions

congrats on becoming a women!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
