I don't carry a purse because then its so obvious. I don't know why at my school it is a bad thing. Where do you put the pads or tampons (I use both) without carrying a bag or purse or anything of that sort.

Also, our lockers can really be opened by anyone, you kick them and they open..so yeah. And I really don't want to tell a teacher that, that would be akward. I have mostly male teachers anyway.

well for me i have a backpack i just carry around w/ me at skool and i keep them in there. But if you dont normally carry a bag around then you can keep some in your locker (gym and regular one) but it might be a good i dea to start just regularly carrying a purse around so when you DO get your period no one will wonder why u are carrying a puse. hey w/ the locker being opened by anyone, you can just keep them in a little bag or purse in your locker so if someone got too see in your locker they would only see a purse or papper sack (papper sacks are good caus it looks like you just have your lunch in it!) Hope i helped!

Actually, carrying a purse isn't really that obvious. I'm assuming you're in 7th grade or up. Most girls carry a purse all the time - you can carry many other things in as well. Plus (and i'm still assuming you're in high school) most guys just accept the fact that girls have periods, at least speaking from my point of view. Its not really a big deal, they won't laugh. Its not as big of a problem as you think it is.
However, if you are in elementary school or younger than high school, you might try keeping some pads in the clinic. That way you can ask to be excused to the bathroom and go to the clinic. If your mom or dad emails your teachers, there shouldn't be a problem.
But like I said, its really not at all a big deal. Hope this helps!

If you have a backpack, you could put it in that. Also, if you take any sports or have a p.e. class you could bring a gym bag and put it in that. Our p.e. class has lockers, and I put mine in there but I don't know if you do. You could try hiding them in a pencil pouch or something like that. I used to keep my pads and tampons hidden in a pencil pouch that I had in my locker. These are just some ideas. Be creative with things like this. I wish you the best of luck!

I've always used a purse, but you can always use your pockets (for pads especially) or keep them in your bookbag or locker and go get them before going to the bathroom.
Having your period is normal. Don't let people make you think otherwise.

In your locker. Usually, when a class starts, no one should be in the halls anymore, so ask a teacher quietly if you can use the bathroom for girl purposes, then go to your locker, and put your things in your pocket and go to the bathroom.
