girls only please?

Question:

I recently tried tampons for the first time. I am 14 and my mom doesnt want me to use tampons until i am 16. i felt more comfortable when i was using the tampons then when i was using the pads. I have been menstrating for almost a year and a half. Is there a way i can tell my mom how i feel about this and not have her get all mad?

Answers:
Good ideas, all of the above.

And even if she gets mad, it's not the end of the world. One more argument out of a lot. But it might make her reconsider, and you may gain from it in the end.

As far as I know, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to use tampons before you're 16. I've heard of people saying that ... But it seems to me that if your body is mature enough to have a period, it's mature enough to have a tampon. If she objects because of medical reasons, ask her to provide reasons as to exactly why. If she can't, or if she says something you think might be wrong, do some internet research on the subject and present it to her (or you may just want to do that before you even talk to her). Some parents object because of religious reasons, like it's too similar to sex or something. If that's the case, well, there's not much you can do about that except get your friends to take you to the store so you can buy your own without her knowing.

Good luck.

just tell her how you feel and be truthful and if she does get mad she problem has a reason
