Answer 1

If you're old enough to need such things, you're old enough to talk to your mom about it. What is there to be embarrassed about? She went through puberty too.

Answer 2

Honey you need to get over being embarreced. your going to have aperiod the rest of your life ,well till menopause anyway.Your mom should be the person you can share things like this with and be comfortable.You twelve right? Are you sexually active?I ask because if not you should use pads it will help you later, trust me.Tampons cause bactria to stay in the utterus.And a period is to rid the female body of bacteria,and to let our eggs flow.Iknow pads suck,but it's better for you for now.
Shaving is nothing,it's all part of our nature.We all want to feel,and look like we should.Does your mom know your shaving?Use Venus razors the don't give you razor rash as bad.I was nine when I started mine.My mom was my best friend, she helped me to know how to shave, she taught me how to keep clean female wise.I started using tampons when I was eighteen.
worst thing I ever did,but every women is different.As far as cramps go,Midol is a god sent.It will help if you start it a week befor your period.continue threw your cycle.Or aproxium sodium?also will help the pain but not the mood swings.It's an antiflamitory over the counter pain releaver.I'm 28 and I have bad periods.To the point that I can't even walk it hurts so bad, so I know how it feels.It's natural we are women.Strong tall and wise.

I guess the best thing is to open up to your mom.You never know it may bring you closer.

Answer 3

Your mom is the person who cares abt u most in the world (not to offend ur dad).
She is the person who knows ur needs the most, she has probably already thought of the idea of her daughter becoming a women, and she knows exactly what to do because she has gone through this before.
For anything u need, u should go and ask ur mother because she knows the best what u need. You cant be sure what to get, and u said urself ur not sure wheter to switch to tampons and since this is a personal health issue it is IMPORATANT that u share it with someone so that they can tell u what to do, before it becomes a personal health problem. Above all, it will make ur mom feel proud, happy and it will probably bring u both together.
If u dont feel confertable talking abt it, say as little as possible and have her advise u, and then u can ask her for as much privacy as u want once u know what u need, she dosent have to be there when u do it.
This is not an embarassing matter, everyone goes through this, and its important that u know what to do.

Answer 4

First you should talk to your mom and let her know how you're feeling. There's nothing wrong with that. Second, if you feel that you can't talk to her, maybe you could try a big sister, cousin, even an aunt that you trust. Sometimes conversations of this nature are better shared with women. If all else fails, talk to your school nurse, she can help too. But try Mom first. Somethimes, you have to remember that she is as new at being a parent as you are being a young lady, and maybe you two could have this conversation as a bridge to bring you closer. As a mom, I wanted to be there for my girls, and if they wanted me there, I was always ready to help if I could. Also Midol is very good for the cramps and moods. Tampax are ok, but you must be responsible and use them the way the instructions inside the box reads. Now that you are a young lady, take the responsibility, if you need something to either let mom know what you need or go get it yourself. You have a lifetime ahead of you, Don't be embarrased about nature. But again, ask Mom if you need anything. she'll understand. She was your age once.

Answer 5

i've been through this before. I got my period at age 9. You should tell your mom. She's been a girl before she can help you. Dont be embarassed, shes your mom! If your still too shy, you can do what i did at my age when i was too shy:
-Wrap a lot toilet paper all around my underwear instead of a pad.
-Take my older sister's pads.If you dont have an older sister take one of your mom's.(only 1 or 2 each day so they dont get suspicious)(this idea isnt really that good because different people use different tampons and pads)

When i was 9, my mom figured out about my period by doing the laundry, and finding an underwear with blood on it. (i forgot to wash it. I always wash my underwear if the pads dont cover up enough underwear space and blood gets on those parts)

Answer 6

Your mom is there to help you. Don't wait for grocery day have a sit down with her and tell her what you need or in the case of the tampons and mydol ask her what she thinks and get some more info. Shes been a woman for a lot longer than you so use her experience. There is nothing to be embarassed about.

Answer 7

I understand. Very embarassing at first. She already knows, so go ahead and talk about it. She's had 2 years to prepare for this conversation. Believe it or not, she had to have that awkward conversation with her mother too. She understands.

Definitely try tampons. When I first got my period I was afraid to because I thought they might hurt. They don't at all! They are so much more convenient and comfortable. I was kicking myself for not having tried them sooner.

There truly is no special way to tell her about all this. The best is to just be completely honest, so she can help you the most. It's not as bad as it seems.

I remember being embarassed to tell my mom, but she found my bloody underwear and asked me about it, and I told her the truth. It'll be awkward, but nothing worse. I know you can handle awkwardness.

Answer 8

Think of it this way... your mom was your age once too and went through the same thing. I know it's a little embarassing to ask, but you just gotta get brave and say, "Yeah, I need some shavers and tampons." I know, I know.. easier said than done, but your mom's a girl too and understands the "needs of life".. lol.. by her asking, she's giving you the opportunity to answer her. With you not saying anything, she's going to assume that you really don't need anything and have it under control. So just suck it up, Buttercup, and ASK!

Answer 9

I think that you need to bite the bullet and just tell her. I know that it's embarrasing, but you really need to talk to her. You could try getting it yourself, but I'm not sure that you'll be able to buy a razor, as you're a minor. To be honest, I'm in a similar predicament. My Mom asked if I wanted to shave my legs, and if I wanted her to buy me a razor, but I said no, 'cause I didn't feel the need then. Now I wish I'd said yes, but don't feel that I can talk to her about it, 'cause she was against it then. Well, what are we to do? I think you should talk to her, though I know I'm hypocritcal! lol! Good luck!

Answer 10

ITS YOUR MOM! I know you dont want to ask her... but she will understand if you say politely that 'i really feel uncomfortable wearing a pad and it makes me feel all body-consious,
could i try tampons?
as for shaving- if you play a sport sometimes its dangerous to have too much hair on ur legs. Tell your mom coach said to make sure my legs are shaved so i dont start hurting myself. Swimmers need their legs shaved-- its REALLY important for runners. If you are playing volleyball or basketball- then it s a good idea aswell.

I hope i was able to help.
If you are feeling embarrased - remember your mom is a girl too.

Answer 11

OK i had the same problems just ask her tell her your growing up your legs are hairy and your cramps hurt ask her for some midol or pamprin and let her know that the pads ride up the butt and you want to try tampons but with the tampons be careful because you could get something called tss (toxic shock syndrome) and that's bad for your body be sure to read the directions! your mom will under stand! mine did
