Im having my period, need advice (girls only)?!
Question: Im having my period, need advice (girls only)!?
Now its not my first time, but i havent had it many times yet either so im still learning to cope!. the problem is i have a graduation ball later tonight and im wearing a loose, flowy dress!.
I have a constant ache and the flow hasnt started yet so it could start soon later or during the dance!.
Iv never used tampons before and im not sure i want to!.
Would those be best in this situation!?
What do u recommend to make this a comfortable experience!?

I wouldn't use a tampon in this situation if its your first time as you'll be conscious its there!.
Use a lightly scented pad with wings and wear 2 pairs of knickers so you arent worrying about leaking, take 2 nurofen an hour before you go, have fun xxxWww@Answer-Health@Com

Take a couple of painkillers to get rid of the cramps (I prefer Ibuprofen, but paracetamol or something similar works fine as well)!.
Then I would try to use a tampon, just start with the smallest size possible, if you follow the instructions on the enclosed leaflet you won't feel a thing!. You can put it in before the dance if you're sure you'll get your period tonight, but it'll be a bit harder, especially if yo haven't used them before!. Otherwise just practice with a bit of (water based!) lubricant beforehand, always does the trick! And if you're still worried you might have an accident, just wear a pad as well!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi there,
Pads or tampons would be fine!
Wear some tights underneath maybe!? That might make you feel more comfortable :)
I advise you to take some paracetamol or aspirin before you go, to help with the ache!. Even if your flow hasn't begun before the dance, put a pad in before you go just in case! That way, you know you have nothing to worry about and can just have a good time :)
Probably best sticking with pads, as tampons can be difficult first time and you don't have the time to practise!.
Good luck, have a good time! Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't necesarily go for the smallest size tampon!. I made that mistake and remember crying in the toilets at school because I had to keep goin back every hour!.
Sometimes you can buy boxes of mixed sizes!.
You may not want to wear them on a night out until you've had time to practice!. But if you are feeling confident and positive about it and decide to give it a go, you could wear panty liners as well as the tampon to help you feel even more confident!. The best time to try though is the next day of your period when it is at its heaviest as it goes in easier!. You can get ones that have their own lubrication!.
Some people find aplicator tampon easier buit you have to practice it a bit first and they take up more space in your bag!.
I keep my tampons in a pretty draw string bag so that when I am rumaging people don't see what they are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

just read through the little leaflet you get with the tampon box!. it has lots of diagrams and good advice!.
i find it best to stand next to your bath and put on foot on the side of it!. then lean over a bit so you can see yourself (it might be handy to put a mirror on the floor so you can see what your doin)!. take a tampon in your good hand and hold the applicator where the ridges are!. gently position it against your labia and angle it so it is facing towards your lower back -they dont go in stright up thats painful- then genly press the applicator in (some girls find a bit of baby oil help the process)!. et voila!.
good luck

Hi there, just use towels with wings!. pop one in before you go out, tampons are for use during your period, dont use them untill your on basically!. i wouldnt advise using them for the first time tonight!. Winged rtowels are most comfortable and you can get thin ones thats are equally as absorbant!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
before you get ready relax for a while with a hot water bottle on you STOMACH, this will help with the cramps, also wear a pad to the ball in case you come, and maybe take some painkillers with you in case of cramps, enjoy the danceWww@Answer-Health@Com

Wear a pad just in case!. Keep an extra in your purse!. You shouldn't put a tampon in until your bleeding or you could get TSS!. My sister didnt start using tampons till she was 16 I was 13!. Some people never do!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
I suggest you try a tampon and if that doesnt work for you wear a night time pad or even wear 2!!
