im 13.. tips on having ur period while on vacation?

Question

okay. ... in aug. my family andmy friedns family are going to six flags for 4 days.. the problem is that i will be expecting my period when we go.... i am hoping some of you will have suggstions (where to put tampons, good stuff for cramps).. any help would be wonderful.... im kinda nervous about this. and its all fairly new to me.

i am nervous about someone noticing or seeing them....... any other suggestions without carrying a purse or backpack?????? thank you!

Answer 1

ask your mum to carry them for you mum's always carry purses ^_^

Answer 2

tell your mom (or someone you trust thats going) ahead of time, that way when you say you have to go to the bathroom or can't go on a ride, she'll understand. Then you can hid the stuff with her (she'll probably be thinking the same thing and bring the stuff with her in a purse, my mom always does and so does my friend). Otherwise it might fall out of your pocket on a roller coaster so you could just wear pants with buttons wear the pockets are covered. or a jacket might work and you could tell them that when they're soaking wet they'll be wishing they brought a jacket.
Make sure to take cramp stuff (i take Midol for teens and it lasts 6 hours plus it looks like headache meds. i don't know if you should look into something else or if that would work) almost (mainly the first couple days of your period) everyday before you go cause you can't take it inside six flags (you can't take any pills inside there). Also, if you haven't tried tampons and gotten used to them then you shouldn't use them there (my friend tried tampons for the first time on a trip and it seriously didn't go well).
Plan to do the swimming stuff on days that you don't have your period or the last day (otherwise you might need to change your tampon or pad and be stuck in a line with blood running down your leg).
Thats all that i can think of, you might wanna avoid those roller coasters that have a lot of loops (the really old wooden coasters usually don't help me) or ones like the superman.

You should probably be wearing tampons because you can keep them more to yourself. Are you sure you don't want to bring a small bag? Most rides have a little pouch by your feet for bags, or if it is small enough you can sort of sit on it.

They make tampons that are compacted and fit in the palm of your hand. You could put a few into a little makeup bag and ask your mom to stick it in her purse... then when you need to get one you can little hide it in your hand until you can put it in your pocket and go the washroom. You could also consider wearing one for a heavy flow... it should be able to last most of the day... just change it midway one time.

You could also bring quarters and use the machines, though there is no guarentee that they will be stocked up.

Oh and midol or tylenol work well for cramps.

hey im 13 too and i kno what youre going through if you have a medium size messenger bag or backpack or purse then just keep anything you need in there and have a small pouch that you can keep tampons in and make sure its not clear!! lol and keep it buried in your purse and if some one isnt going on the ride that you are then ask them to hold it that way no one will see them

Answer 5

well most tampons are usually small enough that they would fit inside ur jean pockets. if ur having trouble with cramps, here's a trick i learned: lay on ur back and put ur feet up on a wall. i don't know why this helps, but i read it somewhere...but if u have cramps at six flags...just drinks lots of water, and don't go on any rides that might make u nautious

Answer 6

well first off, bring a purse and get tampax compact. they're tampons w/ an applicator but they're almost half the size of normal tampons. if you have a compartment in you purse or a wallet, you can put a few in there if you're scared of people seeing them. and for cramps, I suggest pamprin max, it works really well.

Answer 7

Take a lot of pads with you and if you haven't told your mom that you are a woman then you need to tell her. She can help you out. Also take some Midol with you and some extra clothes as well. Make sure you go the bathroom every 8 hours to make sure you aren't leaking and so you can change your pad.

Answer 8

Even it anyone notices them most will not say anything about it cause if its a guy he will freak out and look away and if it is a girl she will understand and look away.

Lots of people that go to water parks carry goody bags. Holds your money and things you will need while you are there. Make sure it is water proof.

Have fun.

Answer 9

You know, if you ride your bike every day (or other moderately intense exercise) up until the day it's due, it'll come late. You might wanna try it, it's great! Even if it doesn't work, (which it most likely will), you'll get lots of exercise out of it! Don't forget to have a lot of water though, it gets tiring!

Answer 10

just put them in your bag. for cramps bannanas help and take tynenol or motrin. cramps usually only last a day (well at least for me). if youre comfortable with tampons read the directions. if it hurts or dont wanna use them wear pads the ones with wings are better.

Answer 11

just carry around with you a small bag or backpack. why not? but if you say no to that, just put them in a pocket or something. or ask your mom to hold them. don't worry about it. after all, you're a girl, it's natural for you to need them. but i would wear tampons if you're going down anything with water.
