HI!! yeah- i just had my period and the pads are really uncomfortable! My mum wont let me use tampons either - not that im really that bothered (i hear they are really uncomfortable!). but then the other day my mum went out and brought some thinner pads (not recommended if you are on really heavily!) but i forgot it was there about 15minutes after i put it on! so it was much comfortable :) plus - i think tampons would be more uncomfortable than pads :/ i guess that's just me!
hope i helped! and i hope you can find something that works for you!!

I know it feels gross hey?
But I think you should stick to pads for a little while just so you know what your periods are like. I don't know about you but my periods were pretty light and just like brown for the first 3 or 4 months/periods (wouldn't have even been able to use tampons then...), but then it got heavier and bloody and I started to get cramps :(
Ultrathin pads with wings and wearing tight fitting undies helps quite a lot. Have a shower twice a day and baby/feminine wipes can be really good to freshen up when you change pads (you should change them every 3-5 hours so they don't smell). Also make sure you use nighttime pads when you sleep, they're longer and wider at the back so you shouldn't leak.

Update;
a girl said she thinks tampons would be more uncomfortable than pads -
This is absolutely not true.
It does take a while to get used to inserting and removing but when they're inserted properly you can't feel it at all. Tampons are great.. You can't feel the blood come out, don't have to worry so much about leaking, no odour, feels more comfortable while exercising and you can swim ! And I reckon they make periods so much more bearable (I really hate mine). And I definetely think all girls should atleast try them (:

I'm 18 and have had my periods for about 6 years...



Try liners, or thinner pads. I know it is uncomfortable at first but you will get used to it. Honestly, all that hype about tampons is absolutely ridiculous, because they are very practical, but if your parents don't want you using them, then don't. But know they exist in case you are in a situation where a pad won't do.



on the bottom(i typed in the wrong box)

depending on ur flow, u can try different sizes and styles. Hopefully one will fit ur fancy. :)
as for tampons. I would nvr recomend tapons to virgins,if u are one. Tapons ,to me, are also uncomfy. When u get older and more "experienced"u can try tapons.
So stick with the pads and try em all out. Good luck. :)



i'd go to the store myself and get some tampons, i had the exact same thing and i hated and still do hate using pads. its your period and if its making you uncomfortable wearing pads,then you should be able to use tampons.

hope this helped!



youll get used to it again.
i had the same feeling, like i was wearing a diaper. it suuckked. lol
But my parents wont let me use tampons either.
the more you wear the pads the more you get used to them(:



They feel really weird and annoying for a while. You'll get used to them soon and if they really bother you try getting thinner ones (depending on how heavy your flow is)



use a rag! :)
