Okay this is kinda of gross, but I just wanted some advice from girls. I just started my period this weekend and I can't help but feel like I'm dirty. You know, like unclean. I bathe and take care of myself, but I still feel like Im filthy and that everything I sit on will become dirty. What do you girls think?

I feel the same way, it's because I wear pads, so in a way you're sitting in your own blood. If you feel comfortable enough to wear tampons that is a way to feel less filthy and more clean feeling.
Good luck! =D

It does seem gross when you're bleeding and especially if the flow is heavy. But you have to realize it is a very natural process that cleanses us and prepares our bodies for pregnancy should we conceive the next month. It's a rather beautiful thing. And don't worry we tend to think the worse as far as the cleanliness goes, but it's actually pretty much contained. Just relax and take it easy during this time.

If is this is like a phobia with you, seek counceling or some kind of therapy. If you are just starting to have your cycle, you will get used to having it and it will no longer make you feel so dirty. Keep clean at all times, not just during your cycle

Having a period is healthy and normal. It does feel disgusting when you're bleeding. Have you tried using tampons? They're so much more clean than using a pad. Use a panty liner with a tampon in case you leak.

You shouldn't feel that way about a perfectly natural part of being female. Just change your pads and tampons regularly. No mess, no fuss.

Don't feel dirty or ashamed because this problem will be with you for about 40 years.

Everyone feels gross during that time. Keep clean and keep wet wipes in your purse.

You'll be fine after you get used to the pads. They suck! maybe you could use tampons.

think possitive
as long as you change your pad routinely, nothing will get dirty
