We have periods so we can have babies. I have two wonderful children, and it was worth putting up with periods.
I went into menopause at age 50. I don't miss having periods at all, but what are you going to do? From my perspective (grandma age), it was just a few years of my life. And it's one of the great things about getting older!
Since you can't get rid of them, learn to live with them the best you can. And look forward to getting older!

There are other options other than Tampons that most women have never heard of. I'm a personal fan of "Instead". Instead is a diaphragm like cup that is inserted into the vagina and holds the menses until you use the restroom then the cup is emptied out. You cannot feel it like you can the tampon and sometimes I forget that I'm on my period. Check it out at the site below. Try it, I know you will like it. If you do, spread the word and tell all of your friends too.
Good Luck girlfriend.

Somewhere up there, one woman talked about the diaphram cup. Good idea. Except that with those, you have to keep buying them.
Go to www.divacup.com and read about the Diva Cup. Yes, it is kind of expensive, BUT the thing with the cup is, that you never have to throw it out or buy a new one until you're either 35 or you have a baby. And it's small, simple to use, you don't feel it, and it's not messy.

Yes, periods are annoying. I'm 18 and have had my period for 7 or 8 years.. so you would think that I'd be used to it.. but I'm not. I can't think of any advantages of being a women except it doesn't hurt when being kicked in the crotch.. Ugh.

tampons are much better and less messy. you should try them. pads are very annoying i agree.. thats why i stick with tampons. i usually keep it in for 4-5 hours. which is much longer than a pad.

I hear ya. I am now perimenapausal and it actually gets worse! You don't know when you will get it. (Months? Weeks? Days? Never again?) When you do, it is 10 times heavier. And don't forget the bloating, fatigue, and moodiness.
Yes, I enjoy being a girl! NOT!!!

As a healthcare provider we now have birthcontrol pills that allow you to have a period every three months. They are safe (barring a few other healthcare problems). Ask your healthcare provider.

I rather would have it than to not have it. That is what makes us women. It is only for a few days and you feeling cleaner and healthy afterward.
