Any woman with a period, I need some help!! (I'm a guy.....)?!


Question: Any woman with a period, I need some help!! (I'm a guy.....)?
I'm a 25 year old guy...my mom died about 10 years ago and well, my dads a d-bag, so I'm raising my 12 year old kid sister. Yesterday she said she wasn't feeling good and needed to stay home from school, so I let her. I tried asking her what was wrong (stomach ache, headache, sore throat, whatever) and she really wouldn't give me an answer...she was pretty much avoiding me all day and spent a lot of time in the bathroom.

She said she needed to stay home again today and has done the same thing as yesterday and won't tell me whats wrong....so I'm thinking she might have gotten her first period but doesn't want to tell me?? Shes hasn't wanted to talk to me all day, she keeps telling me to leave her alone, so how should I approach her and ask her if thats whats going on? And if it is her period, I'm gonna need some advice on what to do for her lol. Obviously, we're going to need to get her pads or tampons or whatever, but I'm kinda clueless? Any and all advice appreciated. Thanks!

Oh goodness xD
Sounds like someone's gonna have a fun time.
Well, first timers are.... reluctant to say its happened.
You need to probably ask her of everything alright, because it def sounds like the monthly joy. Talk to her about it or if you're uncomfortable, let her call an aunt or another woman. She can always talk to a woman teacher about it. But, here's where you play in, she does need pads or tampons.... or else she's gonna have a problem. I used pads for a while because I was scared, and that's how most are. So my suggestion is to get regular pads (size depending on how big she is) and wear them during the day. Change about every four hours *instructions are on the box big bro xD* And light pads or liners for when she goes to bed. If she wants to try tampons, get pearl tampons. They're small. There's an instructional guide thingy in the box. Tell her there's nothing to be afraid of and it shouldn't be embarrassing at all! Best of luck<3

I'm a girl ^.^



i would ask her and tell her dont be embarresed and go to the stroe and get her light pads or depending on how her flow is get her heavy i get allways with wings make sure they have wings it will prevent leakes and tampons arnt good for a 12 year old right now get her some ibprofin and some pms pills

me and i hope she is ok



That is probably the problem=P Just approach her by telling her she doesn't need to be embarrassed, and then ask her if she started, and if she did just buy her some pads, tampons arnt really a good option for a 12 year old=P



The only way to know is if you ask her! Just tell her it's ok, it happens to every girl (half the population!) and that she shouldn't feel embarrassed - its natural there's nothing wrong with her, it's not her fault. And if that's the case, bring her to the store to get some pads (not tampons, not for the first time). Get her any kind with regular flow, you can't really go wrong with pads.

But it's highly likely that she is really just sick - no one's very happy when they're sick!



Actually, yes, tell her to go to beinggirl.com! That is a great website for young girls who are going through puberty, and has A TON of information on periods, different types of pads and tampons, and all of that fun stuff.

Anyways, just flat out ask her if she's started her period. Say it in a nice way, though. I'm sure this is a little uncomfortable for you, and it's probably EXTREMELY uncomfortable for her. Hell, she might not even know what's going on! Has she had health and sex ed. classes before? Or have you taught her about periods?

Or, if you have an aunt or an older cousin or something like that, you could always have your sister talk to her about that. Or if she doesn't want to speak up, you can always take her to your doctor, and have them explain this stuff.



This sounds stupid, but write her a note and stick it under her door or something asking her if that's what's wrong. If it is then take her to the store and buy pads, she will probably like the U by Kotex brand in a little black box, they're all different colors (it's good to be specific because wait until you see the isle). If she wants to pick them out herself let her. When you get home, don't really talk about it at all. Just tell her that when she needs more stuff to let you know. When she gets more comfortable with it, the situation will get easier. Tell her to go to this website: www.beinggirl.com It answers most questions girls have growing up and questions about their period. Good luck!
