Answers:
just buy them yourself!. Take one of your closest girlfriends out with you to buy some!. When you get home, put it in the washroom where you normally keep your "supplies"!. I'm pretty sure a guy wouldn't go up to you and say "why didn't you ask me to get you some tampons!?" lol!. If i was a guy, i would find it rather awkward buying "girl supplies"!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know how you feel!. It is really uncomfortable asking your Dad to buy you some pads or tampons!. I would ask your Dad if it would be okay if he gave you the money so that you could buy these things for yourself in advance!. Like could he give you $5 per month so you can walk to the drugstore and get them!? You don't have to mention that you want to wear tampons!. Just tell him that you want to a little money to buy your feminine products and then start buying tampons!. Also tell him it makes you feel uncomfortable to have to have him buy them for you!.

Well most likely she doesn't live with her mom, that's her issue!.

It is a normal thing for girls, I am sure your dad is expecting it to happen, the first time you tell him it will be alittle embarrasing but after that it should be no big deal!. Maybe you can ask him to give you the money for it and purchase it your self, just meet him after you are both done shopping!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

even when you're not on and he asks if you need them, get them because the time will come when you will need them!. when you're gettin your stuff, load up on whatever you want/need!. he's a guy, he won't tell you "you don't need pads AND tampons" because there's no way he'd know lol!. and don't be embarrassed about it, it's a fact of life, females have periods!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hun if you're embarassed to tell your dad you need pads or tampons just ask him to take you to the store n ask for like $10 go in and buy them n he could stay in the car!. or just tell him you need "lady supplies" he'll get the hint n prolly just wait in the car while you get them!.!.!.!.honestly i use to make my dad buy it for me lol!.
he should understand!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If your feeling a little awkward, ask a close friend's mom to buy them for you or ask her to take you!.

You could always ask your dad for money and go inside the store yourself without him too!.


But, there is always the option of just telling him you need them!. Sure, it will be awkward, but it all has to be said sometime!. There is no avoiding it!. Just be like, "Hey, I need to stock up on some "femine" items if you get my drift dad!.!."

That'll click with him I'm sure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well if he ever asks you again, just tell him yes!. He'll find out eventually, and it's unavoidable even if it's embarrassing!. Sorry!. ;) Or next time you're there, just tell him you have to get some items for girl problems or something, and meet him at the front of the store!. He'll get the picture!. Yes, you definitly want tampons!. I'm 13 as well, and I started using them a month or two ago for vacation!. Awesome!. :)

Just wondering, unless you don't want to tell me, where is your mother in this sitchuation!?

Good luck!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Being embarrassed to tell something that simple is silly!.!.!. Come on girl he is your father! He would know about pads, wouldn't he!? After all boys do have to learn about these things when they are going to marry!
If you are embarrasses then better go to your mom, and if she is not there, why not go to the store yourself!? You should be smart enough to do that when you are thirteen!.!.!. Hope this helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com

I have the same prob!.!.!. i am comf!. with it now, but like u, it was hard for me in the beggining!.!.!. here are a few suggestions and some of the things i did

(1) go and buy some urself (ride a bike or get a ride from someone)

(2) older sibs!.

(3) maybe one of your dads female freinds that you know and feel comfertable withWww@Answer-Health@Com

make up an excuse to go grocery shopping with him and just tell him you are gonna get something and go off on your own!. when you come back just put it in the cart!. he will be too manly/embarrassed to ask any questions in the store so he will just buy them!. buy a bigger box or enough to last a while!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

just pick it up and put it in the cart that way he does not have to ask and you do not have to answer, more than likely he will not pay attention to what they are he is a man and will not notice if they are pads or tamponsWww@Answer-Health@Com

Just go to the shop with him and pick them up, maybe pick up some other stuff to make it less noticible, like deo or something!. Im 13 too, its easier just to say!. it would be more embarissing if you had an incodent where you didnt have any!!! xxxxxxxxxWww@Answer-Health@Com

Buy them yourself!? or next time hes at the store pick some up anyways just to have for when you start!. or talk to a close female family friend or a frineds mother or someone who you are close with, and this conversation would be less embarassing to have!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

im in the same situation, well what i do is when me and my dad go to the store together, and ill say i have to go get some "ladie items"!.
or i will say i'll be right back and put some pads in the cart!.

good luck, hope i helped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just tell him!. Don't be embarrased!. Whenever I'm in a bitchy mood and my dad gets on my case about it, I just simply say, you try bleeding out of your vagina and see how you like it!. Really shuts him up!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

You don't need to be on it to get supplies!. Just ask to go to the store and get what you need!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just go up to him and be like hey daddio My monthygift is here and i need some suplize or just email him if ur not comfortable and tell him not to talk about it out side of the computer

Just tell himWww@Answer-Health@Com

how bout you go to the store with him!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

why not tell ur mom!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

OK hun, as your dad, he knows very well what your going through, I understand you may be embarrased by it all, but he knows, and he wont say anything!. Your not the first "woman" he has had to cope with on this issue, I hope that eases your mind a little!.
I have a step daughter, and it does not embarrass her to ask me about that issue, she knows her mom deals with it as well, all men know about this hun, its not a secret ok!. You could always just ask him for the money and tell him your aunt flo is in town, he will get it~ then you can get them on your own at the store!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
