Use a maxi pad. Tampons can be uncomfortable if you haven't lost your virginity, and they expose you to all kinds of other problems like yeast infections that you really don't want to deal with at age 11... they lead to some embarrassing tests at the doctor's office.
Other than that, there isn't anything you can do. It's a natural part of life. Welcome to the club, kid. Expect this every month... for about the next 40 years.

I don't remember when I started, but this is what I did. I did tell my parents, but it was weird and I didn't discuss it with them, just game them the FYI. I started with pads that my mom had, but they were the thin panty liners, and I was having heavy flows. I got the smallest tampons I could find and I went to my room, in the closet and shut the door. I got a mirror and read the directions on the tampon and tried until I got it right. Once it's in you can't feel it. They are less messy than pads and more comfortable. Since I started off with tampons, it wasn't hard to get used to them

Relax first thing, it's perfectly natural, ask your mom or a older friend to explain just what to do. Remember honey " Carrie" was just a movie!
