Period and pads

really it’s nothing to be embarrassed about, but I definitley remember that first time!!! it is a little embarrassing at first…but just pull her aside and simply say, ‘I just got my period.’ if she’s like my mother was she’ll bring it up before you can ask…and she’ll probably be more excited than you sigh

just relax get her alone and say hey mom I started my period and I need pads good luck and welcome to hell like lovestruck7233 said you get cramps and bleed a lot somtimes and it sucks good luck

If you are old enough to have a period you are old enough to buy your own pads. Why wouldn’t you tell your mother you’ve gotten “aunt flow”. She is a woman, and has probably got one herself. For that matter, she probably has some pads & such lying around. If you start off your life being scared to ask/talk to your mother about this, then it will effect the rest of your youth. If not a mother, ask an aunt or older cousin?

your lucky it’s your mom, I had to tell my dad, lol, but it wasn’t that bad. just wait til she’s alone relaxing on the couch or somethin and sit down with her. start a conversation and then be like “I got my period a little while ago (or wutever time or day) and I wanted to know if you could take me to get some pads. it’s not so bad to tell them, unless she’s like one of those people who think periods are bad thinks or talk about it in fron of people. good luck and welcome to hell, lol.

“ma I got my period, I need some pads and tampons” lol seriously.
