Oh jeez.. :[ Help me!!?
Question:
Im supposed to get my period again 3 days before school starts.. What am I supposed to do when I have to change my pad during the first few days of school. It's not going to be good because I'm going to have to get used to some things and classes and everything and I don't want it to seem like I just want to miss class, but then yet again I don't want to tell my teachers that I have my period. Now my period doesn't always come as planned but any advice for what I should do incase I get it during the first few days of the new school year.
??
Answers:
Um yeah get over it. That's life. There are way bigger issues in the world than being embarrassed over a period. I didn't know going to the bathroom was abnormal.
Im in the same place her, and just ask to go in one class or during lunch also if its your first first one then you might not get a again for a while
A tampon is probably easier, which you can change every 6 hours, less hassle.
Good Luck
It can be annoying i know!
I always worrying about it starting on me the first week of school, and i won't have any stuff on me, and being afraid of being humiliated! haha.
So always take pads and tampons, always be prepared.
Since you never know when it will come.
Do you use tampons? if you do, use a tampon and a pad, that way once your tampon is full you can take it out and then you'll have the pad for the rest of the day until you get home.
If you don't use a tampon, that's fine. Make sure you packs pads, then at school, you'll be find, use the bathroom during lunch, and see if it needs changing, change it in there, and ou should be fine for the rest of the day.
a REALLY good brand that i love is "ALWAYS ultra thin" They're thun, but they absorb the most blood, and you can wear them literally the whole day.
Go between breaks if you have enough time. But the pad should last until lunch, change, then you'll be fine for the rest of the day. Plus you can always change during gym.
Take care!

Use tampons, and if you cant make sure you get thin comfortable pads, you should be fine good luck :) oh and don't be to embarrassed about asking to go to the toilet, don't worry about what other people think.
teachers at my school weren't allowed to deny a female student's request to use the restroom. i don't know if it's the same at your school but you should just ask if you can use the restroom. it's not really that big of a deal. if you don't want to ask, just wait until lunch or study hall to go change it or something. you could probably even do it between classes. i mean, if it's the first few days, say you got went to the wrong classroom. the teachers will be pretty understanding about it.
You will have to let your teacher know that you have a personal thing to take care of in the girls room. That should give them a hint. Try to hit the bathroom between classes and at lunch. But don't get stressed or up tight over this. It is normal. The teachers understand.
listen u can get it any time! ur first cople months of it are not in order! if u have a very light flow then get a small pad that doesnt feel like anything and well get a big 1 if it is heavy.. i dont cange mine every 2 seconds... i change it in around 4-7 hours! but if u start to feel uncomfertable that cange it. ask a teacher to go to the bathroom not at the last min but a little bit before so that u can ask a diff teacher and then go very fast! i also dont think u want a tampon since its ur 2nd time TO OTHERS OUT THERE!
I carry around an emergency pack that involves tampons, pads and panadol or the equivalent to where ever you are from. I hide it in a small make-up bag so no one can really tell if they go through my bag.
Maybe you could try doing that.
As for having your P platers while in classes and stuff, Its not that hard to get used to. Just make sure you are not in pain and you change regularly in between classes.
Just remember every girl has to go through it so relax its all good.
I hope this helped GOOD LUCK :)
That happened to me last year. i would go to the bathroom with my friends during lunch and change it. if you can wear tampons put one in and a pad o nat the same time. then a quick trip to the bathroom you can just pull out the tampon and have your pad on that can last you for the rest onf the day. im sure more people will have it too. if your in the same school you know everything around you so you'll be fine.
There are worse things to worry about. If you ask to use the restroom, a teacher can't usually deny you that (unless, of course they have preset rules such as you can't go in the beginning or end of class, during tests, etc.). IF you get embarassed about it and someone asks you why you need to go, just say "why do you need to know" or "i have to use the restroom". If it's to one of your friends and you don't want to tell them, say "I just needed to fix my makeup blah blah blah" etc. It you're really that worried, try using tampons. You have wear them for up to six or more hours or something. (Check the box on them or look on the internet). I'm sure that you'll be fine. Besides, you can always go during lunch when you don't have to worry about missing classes--usually girls tend to hang in bathrooms around lunch to fix their makeup, go to the bathroom, gossip, etc. anyways.
It sounds like you should get a purse. I am not sure what age you are, but I am sure some girls in your grade or a little older, will be using purses. If not you can start a cool new trend.
Make sure to change your pad often(At least every two hours). You don't want to smell.
before you go back to class, put on some lip gloss, and even a spray of body perfume(you can buy small bottles, that will fit in your purse). "Calgon Mist" makes some nice fruity scents.
If someone does happen to find out, don't be embarrassed, it happens to all girls that turn into women.
I hope this helps!
