First, don't listen to these people saying you shouldn't get it twice a month!. If you're young, which I'm assuming, your body is regulating and will even itself out eventually!. =)
Try getting pads that are for heavier flows, like overnight pads for example!. Then you'll be able to change them less often since it'll be able to hold more blood!. Also, explain to the adult that is in charge of your room that you're on your period!. If there's a bathroom in the cabin you're in, you can request a trashcan if there isn't one in there!. But when you change your pad, fold it up and wrap it up with toilet paper, then throw it away!. Simple! =) Next, I'm assuming you'll be with all girls!. They're probably going through the same thing and I bet one other girl there is on her period!. They won't think you're weird or gross, and some girls that haven't started yet might even envy you! =)
But now, it might be a good time to try tampons out!. Usually you swim and do water activities or stay active during camp, and pads can put a downer and ever stop you from doing these activities!. Tampons really aren't scary- at all! If you're interested, explain to your mom about camp and for her to get you a box, and instructions come in the box!. If you choose tampons, try starting off with slender or lights since you're a beginner, and buy a small thing of pads or just use the ones you have still left over for when you go to sleep!.
Good luck and have fun at camp! =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

i would talk to your doctor, because there is no reason you should be having your period twice a month!. Your doctor could put you on birth control or something to regulate your period!. Other than that, i've had my period since i was 10, and yes its embarrassing to have pads with you everywhere you go, but you'll figure it out!. Make sure you know where a bathroom is everywhere you go!. Carry around a back pack or something with pads in it, or if you have pockets always have one with you!. I would change it every 4 hours, or less depending out heavy you are!. Just remember its a natural thing, i'm sure you'll be around other girls, its normal, you can't control it when it comes, but if you can i would go and see a doctor and find out if there is anything you can do to regulate your period!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
