Answer 1

Well, obviously your young and your Dad doesn't know? Well, if your very uncomfortable telling your Dad, just call your Mom or someone you can talk to about it and let them tell you what to do. Otherwise I am pasting some info. on how to insert a tampon. If you don't have any tampons, just tell your Dad you need some. He won't be embarrassed by it, trust me. He knows that all woman get it so he knows it's going to happen to his little girl! He will be just fine about it, and should do what he can to make sure you have what you need. But here is some info. so you can figure out how to put one in. Good luck girl, and congrats! Your a woman now!
Time Required: 5 minutes
Here's How:
Relax! Try not to worry about inserting the tampon right the first time. If you are tense it will make insertion harder.
The best time to practice inserting a tampon is during the heavy part of your period. The tampon should glide inside your vagina easily without any discomfort.
Decide if you prefer to insert the tampon standing or sitting. If sitting is your preference, sit on the toilet. If you want to try standing, putting one foot on the bathtub helps.
Hold the tampon applicator in your right hand if you are right-handed, or left if left-handed.
Use your thumb and middle finger to hold the bottom of the larger, outer tube.
Point the tip of the applicator toward your vagina, facing slightly towards the back. The smaller tube should be pointed away from your body.
Use your other hand to open your vagina.
Place the tip of the applicator at the opening of your vagina.
Gently push the smaller end of the applicator in until it is completely inside the larger outer tube. This pushes the tampon into your vagina and out of the tube.
With your thumb and middle finger still on the outer tube, release the smaller tube and let the strings dangle freely.
Gently pull the two tubes out together.
Dispose of the applicator according to the manufactuer's instructions.
When you are ready to remove the tampon, gently pull the withdrawl strings down and forward. The used tampon may be flushed down the toilet.
Tips:
Lubricating the rounded end of the tampon with a water-based lubricant such as K-Y Jelly can make insertion easier the first few times. Don't use petroleum jelly.
Always read the manufactuer's instructions throughly before using any type of tampon.
If the tampon feels uncomfortable it is probably not inserted far enough into your vagina. Try again with a new tampon.

It's not as bad as one would think. It won't be your dads first experience with a woman getting her period as any woman ever in his life has gotten it before. It may seem a little odd at first, but basically you do it the same way you would tell your mom. At first, I wouldn't tell my dad at all, I would only tell my mom, and if my dad was in the room, I wouldn't tell her til later. When I began telling my dad I'd just say something like "dad, I need to go to the drugstore to pick up some personals." Now that it's been a few years I put it very bluntly and say "Dad, I need tampons". Honestly they don't react funny or anything, they just say okay and let that be it. I recommend starting off slow though. Good Luck, hope this helps.

You're dad doesn't want to hear about your period! haha Don't tell him, unless you think that he honestly needs to know for some reason. But reallly...save your dad from an awkward moment and don't tell him. Dad's love their daughters so much and want to help them with whatever, but that's a tough issue for a lot of guys.
Just go to the store and pick up some tampons and pads. If it's one of your first times and you don't know how to use em, there are really easy instructions in the boxes.

Answer 4

Just tell him you need to go to the store to purchase some feminine items. Whenever I tell my dad that, he never asks any questions and takes me to the store almost immediately because he doesn't really want to think about it at all.

I know it's kinda weird to think about telling your dad you need some products, but he is an adult and all men are familiar with women's menstrual cycles. He will understand and it should be no big deal.

Answer 5

Dad, I'm going to start my period in a day or so and I need to go to the store to get some things. Can you take Me?

Answer 6

I had to go through this too... it wasn't as bad as i thought... Just say dad I am just letting you know that I have started my period. Or when you are out shopping at wal mart or something pick up some pads or tampons... he will get the hint, my mom told my dad for me... maybe yours can too!! Good luck sweetie!! Also my little cousin just told me she emptied out her purse and just had her dad look over so that he would notice the pads in her purse.

Answer 7

I can't imagine why you need to tell your father. Bring your own sanitary products. Pack them in your bages. Periods should be private, my dear, not at all open for discussion regarding your personal body functions. Do you tell people when you urinate or have a bowel movement? If you do you shouldn't? You are not a baby! Now you are a woman. Somethings are private and this is one.

Answer 8

Just tell him that you have started having the normal monthly female things and ask him either for a some money or to take you to the store. Trust me he is aware of these things as he was married to you mother at one time and she had the same thing every month.

Answer 9

Why do you have to tell your dad about your period?

Answer 10

well if your over 13 your dad should be fine with it. if your 12 or younger your dad will probably give you money for becoming a women.
