ladies only I MEAN IT?

Question

I just started my first period any tips??? I already talked to my mom but I want a 2nd opinion on what to do and stuff

Answer 1

Keep yourself clean and shower once or twice a day.Take motrin for cramps.If it gets bad stay in bed and take Pampern.If its bad and you have to get up,take Midol.We all hate it and surely you will to.;)Smile your growing up.

Answer 2

Congratulations - now you are a woman. But in spite of that, it's sometimes very unpleasant. You may have cramps (ugh) or get moody and cry for no real reason. That's normal, so don't think you're going nuts if you cry over something really unimportant.

Silly tip - wear all-black underpants and dark jeans when you have your period, and there will be no problem with washing out those horrid bloodstains! No matter how careful I was, I was always ruining underpants until I bought some all-black ones. End of problem. And white/pastel jeans can really embarrass you if you have a small leak, whereas it won't be obvious if the color is dark anyway.

If you have really bad cramps, ask your mother to take you to a doctor. There are things that can help.

Look at all your favorite female entertainers, teachers, etc - hey, they all have periods, too, and they keep going anyway - so can you.

Answer 3

when i first got my period i freaked out and started to cry but i never really noticed how stupid i was it did not hrt in the first place! the thing was it was right before school and i did not have any pads i used some of my moms until the day was done and then we went to buy my size i ended up having a basketball game the next day and i felt nothing like i did not even have my period u just have to say to ur self that it will be okay and by the second time i got my period i was used to it everyone goes through it anyways just be urself and trust me it will NOT bug u!

Answer 4

For the first 5-7 years of your period, you should always wear pads. But after that tampons come in handy for swimming and such.

You can take baths while on your period. Just don't stay in longer than 45 minutes, your vagina may get clogged.

Have a happy period!

Answer 6

Don't be nervous because mostly every girl you see walk past you goes through it, and it is totally normal! I don't use tampons and I cried when i tried and I hurt really bad because tampons are just not made for some people. Pads are the best way to go pain free but if you go swimming pray to god it is very very light to were you can wear water based tiny pantyliners. or if it is heavy wear a tampon. but u must change a tampon every 8 hours, and ifyou don't you can get a lethal infection or toxic shock.

Answer 7

Wait till your much older to use Tampons, the younger you are the more at risk you become to toxic shock syndrome...take time to get plenty of rest and don't stress yourself over it, It will take about a year before your period will regulate so some months you may not get it at all, don't panic that's normal.

Answer 8

Pads are sometimes a good thing-because i know when i used tampons my period was so heavy i still had to wear a panty liner or pad so it didnt make any sense using a tampon.....tampons can cause yeast infections because alot of girls dont change them alot...just make sure u do....and trust me EVERY girl has gotten blood on there pants or panties....but once u get the hang of it, its NOTHINGG

Answer 9

Well there's really not much to say just take care . Well my advise to you is that congratulations you are becoming a woman i remember mine i was scare i never told my mom tell like 5 years later she probable now but thought i was to shy LOL and well good luck and congulations.

Answer 10

Congrats! But on a serious note the best pads to wear are the Kotex with wings , they help stop leaks! Always with wings are great also try the extra long with wings to help prevent leaks.
