I just got my period and I have a water park trip planned for tomorrow! I’ve never worn a tampon, So here are my embarrassing newb questions about it
Can I lose the string ?
Can it fall out ?
Will I leak If I don’t use a panty liner?
What kind do I buy?
How often do you change ?
🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Get a cup! Save money and reuse it! So much better for you and the environment 😍
@redheaded_inkednurse, how the heck do you rinse it discretely out in public ? Or do u just throw out your blood and put it back in? 🤔
You won’t lose the string. It’s naturally pretty long even if the tampon is all the way up. Mine have never fallen out, but they have moved down a little. I never leak if I change it every 3-4 hours. Just make sure to wipe well down there before you put the suit on so that the leftover blood doesn’t go onto it. I use Kotex I think. It comes in a black box and the tampons are different colors.
I wanted to go to the beach so bad I put a pad on and put short on over my bathing suit bottoms
Sit on a toilet. TMI but to get it in easier kinda spread your legs far apart to get it in. It took me a few tries to figure it out the first time I ever wore one
Get a cup girlfriend 🙄 tampons soak up the water and get so uncomfortable. You won't be able to lose it when it's full of blood and water. It also holds in all that nasty public water.
@jneill_bb, @izzyaspie, gotcha , I guess I’m just gonna wing it the first few times! Thank you so so much for your replies . Also, do you put one in as soon as your periods started? Or wait till you’ve got a good flow coming down? Because anything going in there dry I’m assuming will hurt right?
@domsmama96 it was good . I just changed my pad when I needed to 😊. No getting blood everywhere .
If you decide to do the pad thing with shorts on be careful, the pads can absorb the water instead of the blood and detach from your underwear or could cause the blood to leak out. Speaking from experience. I was that sad little girl who started her period at the age of 12 and I was too afraid of tampons then. 😳
@kambam, 😳 oh shit that’s a little concerning ! But how will I rinse it in a public restroom at a theme park!
You can dump it and reinsert or sometimes I wipe it out with a wet wipe or toilet paper. Nbd
@jneill_bb, I started early too girlfriend , I just didn’t do water on my period! But now I’m older and I’m feeling brave enough to try it out
The only time it was uncomfortable was when it was the end of my period and I didn’t realize that I had stopped
@kambam, hmm okay! I’ve got some options to think about :) thank you! And yes^ id like to know which cup you use
I started with the diva but after having a baby I don't like it. I have a few different ones I use now. The fem cup or something. There's sooo many on amazon, can't go wrong with any @izzyaspie
Best choice you can make for your vajay. She will be so happy lol @izzyaspie
DO NOT WEAR A PAD IN A POOL lol. Speaking from experince just do not do it trust me.
@spookylyn, I’m gonna try a cup for sure in the future! I just ended up buying tampons for tomorrow :)
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
My dad doesn't think I can do this #need help.

Transgender children So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are your thoughts on the matter? Do u think the parents are behind this? Idk because I haven't met the parents or children. I just think at 5 it's very young for children to really understand. What do u ladies think?
