I was talking to my mom about tampons; i just started my period and i was talkin to her and i said all my friends use them and stuff and she said; thats inapropriate little girls shouldn’t be using those, and she said, thats innapropriate for something to go up your hole! now im fustrated cuz now i know i will be stuck with pads! What do I do?Ask your friends about giving you one and tell you how to use it. If your mom finds out tell her that it’s unfair for you to have to deal with your period being messy and having to sit in your period and feel like a diaper and not being able to do sports and stuff.
Tell your mom you started your period so you aren’t a "little girl" and it should be your decision on what you use for protection. Your period is a sign of womanhood. You should be able to decide what hygene products you use. Your mom is seriously overreacting and doesn’t like you growing up. It’s your period and you should decide how you want to deal with it. It’s a personal decision.
OR- you could join the swim team or have your friends invite you to go swimming and then your period comes up. OR (another idea) you could tell her that people say that you smell bad when you’re on your period and it’s embarassing. But then she might just get you scented pads.
IMPORTANT!!
Tampons don’t make you lose your virginity. You can only lose that by having sex. Tampons and sex are completely different!! Trust me. I thought the same thing and I read in two websites that tampons don’t make you not a virgin only sex. TSS is also extremely extremely rare and only happens when people leave in huge super maxi plus tampons for days. But people have accidentally left them in for days and nothing has happened to them so…
If you want more advice for stuff like this go to beinggirl.com it will tell you about talking to your mom about tampons and how to use them.well, honestly, i kind of feel the same way your mother feels. i am 21 and i just lost my virginity this year.
i used pads for 11 years (i started my period when i was 10). i just did not like the thought of being disvirgined my a tampon (silly…i know)
i guess that’s how your mother feels to.
when you are a little older, you might decide to change that, but for now, i advice you to listen to her. She knows what she is talking about!’
plus the tampons have more risks than the pad, toxic shock syndrome (i think that’s what it is) can lead to death and that is caused by tampon use.
congrats on becoming a woman!!!hahah.
thats what my mom said when I wanted to use them
just do some research about it and so that when you ask again you really know what you’re talking about, she may be worried about tss also thats something you should look up too
good luck, my mom lets me use them now, I’m 13well you should start out with pads and when you get a little older try asking her again. tampons are great but pads are a lot safer.
tampons carry a risk of TSS.
you can forget you have one in and try to insert another…OUCH!
you can leave it in too longggg. not goodWait a lil longer. Pads are safer than tampons. ALthough tampons are more convenient. I heard that tampons are not good for you. Theres a possiblity that you can get some cancer and might smell more down there since its always blocked.Listen to your mother.I used tampons the first day I started my period- I was 11, just tell your mom that you want to go to a beach party, but you can’t wear a swimsuit with a pad, so ask her if you can use tampons!My Mom did the same thing. I just waited a couple of years, got some and started using them anyway. They were in the bathroom cabinet and she never said a word. wait a little longer, tell her how uncomfortable they are and about how pads cause you not to be able to do stuff you would be able to if you were using tamponsI had to wait 2 years to be able to use one, and even then my mom really did not want me to were one but she said yes because I had been on it for 2 yearsShe is worried about your precious virginity.Buy your own.She’s in her own world.I’ve used them since I was 11.It’s none of her business.If she finds out,tell her to speak to your Dr.They will set her straight.trust me.
mom know best!
just lie to your friends.
