today i had a heavy flo and my pads couldent handle it. i took 2 pads to school and ran out and leaked. i went through like 5 today and i started a few months ago. should i tell her i want to switch?
Answer:
my mom never wanted me to use them, i sneaked them for a while but then i eventuallly told her it was my choice and the school nurse called her to inform her you cant loose your virginity blah blah and now i wear tampons every time. they can be dangerous if you keep them in for too long but i doubt youd just "forget" about it
Yes, I don't see why she wouldn't let you?
tell her about your problem and she might suggest changing herself=good luck
Yup. Have a chat with your Mom.
i basically started using them and put them some where she could see them and then my mom asked me if i was using them and then she asked me questions about how i used them like are they comfortable and do you have any questions. most schools give them out at the nurses office.
ya you should. its not like embarasing. just be like, mom i think i want to start using tampons, can u get them from the store?
pretty much everyone uses tampons anyway.
Not if you don't want any questions.
Hmm, tampons take some getting used to. How young are you exactly. I would wait, maybe tell your mom you need a stronger absorbancy pad. Take a few more with you when you go places, you never really know how many you are gonna need.
umm yeah do u want blood stain on ur pants for all the hot guys to see. switch
yes tell her, although I don't know if tampons will really help. Pads can absorb more.
If you do change to tampons you'll find that you have to change it quite regularly.
This can be a real tough situation. i had almost the exact problem as you, and i shuddered at the thought of talking about it to my mom. but the fact is, if you want somthing done, your going to have to ask for it. you cant expect your mom to read your mind. At the worst, it'll be awkward for a while, but in the end, it'll be worth it to not have to go through five pads a day and leaking all over your pants. It's scary, and it's weird to talk to your mom about this stuff. but if you want to switch to tampons (which in your situation, would probably be alout more comfortable) talking to her may be the only way to get what you want.
good luck!
If you think you can remember to use them responsibly then yes. That means changing them every 6-8 hours or when full, don't wait until it is convenient. Also wear a pad at night to give yourself some breathing time. If it hurts to pull it out, consider cutting the time down or alternating with a pad.
Don't "tell" your mom, but sit down and explain that your pads are not working as well as you need for being in school and that you'd like to try tampons. Ask her to come with you to pick them out and then "show" you how to use them. If you involve her, she's more likely to want to help instead of if you sneak around behind her.
If she says no, ask another trusted female to help discuss it with her.
Good luck!
Tampons are a life saver! Once you use them you will never go back to pads. I hate pads! Just ask your mom casually. Say you think you will be more comfortable with tampons and get the box that has lite, Regular and Heavy. Also to start get the plastic curved applicators they are easier to use. Then you can always switch to cardboard to save the environment. :) When I first wanted to use tampons I was so nervous about talking to my mom, but she was very casual about it and said "OK I'll add them to my list".
I think you are experiencing a very heavy flow. Sometimes tampons leak, too. I think you should talk to your Mom about your period in general and ask her opinion. You didn't say how old you are, sometimes young girls have difficulty with tampons as they are not that easy to insert not to mention the posibility of toxic shock syndrome. So, please, talk with your Mom about all of this and I'm sure she'll have the right answers for you.
Umm...if you went through 5 pads 2 day you should be telling your mom you need to see a doctor. . .that sounds like a problem for a professional.
thats a private thing do what is comfortable to you
yeah i like them so much better but if you're not comfortable telling your mom don't tell her, it's not something that you HAVE to share with her you can keep it private if you want to.
