Answers:

1. That's normal. Brown blood is just "old" blood.
2. Yes you do, unless you want blood on your underwear. You stop wearing the pad/tampon when you get off your period.
3. I prefer tampons but they aren't for everyone.
4. It depends on your cycles flow. I never bleed when I pee because I have a light flow.
5. Yes, that's normal. Your bleeding...there is going to be blood. That's the whole point of a period.



Yes it is normal, blood is not always red, it can vary depending on heavy or light it is.

Yes wear the pad till the blood has stopped, to keep being hygienic change it every 3-4
hours, sooner if there is a lot of blood to prevent leaking.

Tampons are not better for me, but maybe for you, remember to change them every 3-4 hours otherwise you increase the risk of TSS- toxic shock syndrome. You can die from that- dont worry though it is rare.

No you wont always bleed, its just depending on how heavy the flow is.



You can get your period at any age. it's usually hereditary. If your mom got her's at a young age so will you.

The blood color should be a darker red but color varies with each girl
And you wear the pad until you stop bleeding. usually about 5 to 7 days.
Pads vs Tampons.. I prefer tampons but a lot of women prefer pads. Tampons have risks like the Toxic shock syndrome while pads are safer.
You aren't bleeding in your pee, sweetie. But when you wipe you will continue to see blood.



1.brown is normal.
2.change the pad, keep wearing it until the flow stops completely
3.not at your age
4.only sometimes, and only on your period
5. yes, that is normal.
