I was invited by my friend to go to the beach. (I already said yes) A week later i realized that its the same same week as my period. So I asked my mom if I could use tampons. Her excuse was "Your period stops when you go in the water." But that doesn't happen to me. I explained that to her. She replied with "Then use a pad." Not only is she my mom, but a complete idiot. She even used tampons at my age! Of course I could use a pad, but pads not only absorb blood, but the water as well! I can't do that. Are there any reference that I could use to help my mom better understand that i need tampons? I'm 15, i've had my period for about a year or two. I do know the risks, and what type to buy. My mom was so stubborn that I had to quit ballet because it was so hard to use pads. And yes, I do know how to use tampons.
