Congratulations! well, it's very important to know your body and your flow!. If your flow is that heavy, I would suggest tampons, which are very comfy and you can't feel them at all!. If you're hesitant about tampons, take a few packs of pads!. If you need any more, your counselor will most definitely have extras!. Your mom can just explain the situation and tell the nurse what's going on in case!. Email me with any more questions about your first period!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is not too much to change your pad 5 times a day- it just means you have a heavy flow!. You can try using maxi pads, or regular pads that are 'super'- designed for women with a heavy flow!. If you are going for six days, and you change about five times a day, that means you would be using 30 pads!. However, you want to be on the safe side and bring extra!. Depending on what brand you use, you can buy them in economy packs that come in 35 or 42!. This would be the safest bet, because you don't want to run out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well I usually change my pad every 4-5 hours!. So I change it when it I wake up, (usually around 7ish) then I change it around 11, then 3 or 4, , and then 7, and then right before I go to bed!. So I change my pad about 5 times as well when I'm on my period!. So I would try to change them around the same times, but it all matters on when you wake up and how heavy your flow is!. Also, I would suggest maybe bringing 35 pads just to be sure!.

Have fun at camp and best of luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Bring a whole pack!. I suggest ultra thin night pads by always they are long so that your period doesn't leave blood marks on your clothes and they are thin so it is as if you aren't wearing one so you stay comfy!. Yes 5 times a day is a little much!. i recommend you change it in the morning and at night!. if it is mid day and there is alot on the pad than change it!. So just 3 times maybe less a day!. I recommend 2 times a day it saves you pads!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i got my first period yesterday also! but im going to a wave pool tmr so i have to wear tampons! 5 times a day sounds about right! and if your going to camp tmr 4 6 days the you should bring a pack and a half! well hope this helps! we will be in pain together! good luck! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'd bring about 30!. Since you "soak" I would change to a different kind, cause it seems like you aren't wearing the right absorbency!.
Like i said bring about 30!.

I change mine just as many times as you do!.

Good Luck, Have fun!

You should change it every 3 to 4 hours to prevent leakage and to prevent bad odors!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
