Answer 1

Do you get an allowance? You could buy your own razors if you do. Maybe you should just be causal and say "hey mom, can I have one of your razors?" If she asks, tell her its for your arm pits. Tell her you have BO if she protests, and that shaving will help. And as for people looking through the drawers in the bathroom, 1)they shouldn't and 2) you are 12 and its normal for you to have your period. It shouldn't be a shock to anyone.

Answer 2

Oh geez, you sound kind of like me. I suggest that you don't use tampons, there's a V.D. that you can develop from it (I don't remember what it was called). If you're not comfortable with the pads, just try a different brand (like Always).

About the razor thing, if your mom is understand she'll buy it for you. A bit of a warning though, unlike waxing, when you shave, your hair grows back thicker, so you might not want to shave until it actually looks hairy. If it's just your underarms, and you're still too nervous to ask your mom, don't wear tank tops, wear clothes with long enough sleeves so when you raise your arms, no one will see your armpits and wait until your parents start giving you money so you can buy your own pads and hair removal items.

Answer 3

If you have any one else you can talk to then you should like an aunt on an old cousin, what ever. But I think you would be surprised if you talked to your mom. My mom and me were not that close but at least whe help me a bit. With the tampons my friends helped me. Just try your mom though okay, remember that she went through this once too.

Answer 4

Honey just talk to her. My daughter started at ten too, she was lucky not to have cramps until she was twelve. She started shaving though at age eight because her poor legs were so hairy.

Your mom is your mom, she has been there too. You can forget the tampons though, your doctor won't approve of it because your cervix is not mature enough. They also can cause a lot of problems if you don't remove them every two hours or so. That takes a lot of discipline.

By twelve you are old enough to keep your own feminine protection in your bedroom.....no one is going to rifle through your drawers, if they do kick em out of your room.

Answer 5

If your mom doesn't know about your period, tell her a.s.a.p. As for shaving you should ask her since some mom's don't want their girls to start shaving so early. Make sure that when you tell her you want tampons to buy the junior or light ones, it will be much easier to start on those even though they won't last as long. It should feel awkward but it should NOT hurt.

Answer 6

Hun,
If you don't feel comfortable talking to your mother about your periods and using a tampon, perhaps you could talk to a close aunt? Or female cousin? You could even talk to your school nurse. As for the midol and shaving razor, you could have your father or older sibling purchase them for you. It would be best though if you and your mom found a way to bond so you can talk to her about female things.

Answer 7

lol wow. Just next time ur at walmart get some razers and some shavin cream (i think chicks use that) and tell her that u need to shave. also, get some tampons. they are like a few bucks a box and u dont have to be friggen 21 to buy them for gods sake. how many can a woman go thru. i dunno. get some damn midol too if u want it. if they object tell ur mom to live through a bleeding without any relief. unless shes had menopause that is.

Answer 8

If you want help you really need to talk to her. You cant keep sneaking her stuff. When the company leaves you really need to do something. The only way you will ever learn what to do in a situation like this is if you go see her. Close or not close she is still your mom and she is always there to help.

Answer 9

Sweety, I have been both a young girl embarrassed and a mom. There is no reason to be embarrassed to talk to her, don't you realise she went through it herself? Just do it sometime when you don't have to look her in the eye like in the car or something, she won't freak out and things will be just fine. Also, you said you weren't close to your mom... maybe it's because you don't let her get close to you. I think having this talk will bring you two closer. Best wishes

Answer 10

Yes, tell you mom how you feel. She wants to help you through this because remember, she went through it too so she's your best bet in helping you get through it as well. I know it can be hard, I at times am also embarrassed to talk to my mom about some issues like that or sex etc. etc...but I always felt better when I talked to her because I got that pressure off me. You have to tell her because she's your mom and she's the one that's going to help you not only with this physically but emotionally as well. I know what I'm saying because I went through it as well, I'm 18 now so yeah...I understand how awkward and overwhelmed you may feel.

Trust her, she's your mom.
