I am due my second period soon and I'm going on a school retreat with my best friend. On one of the days we go on a long walk and I kind of want to ask my mum if I can use a tampon for then. The only problem is that she never uses tampons and has never mentioned them to me and we don't have any in the house at all so I'm not sure how to ask her. Plz help me

@bethanyangel418 Try a note, email, text and just write that you would like to try tampons and would like her opinion about that. To write you back or talk to you privately. Holly

I just love ur guys videos. So anyway i've had my period for 3-4 months now. I was just wondering why do i see sometimes red dots on my pantyliner? I know it's not from my panties cause i don't have red panties!!! So also some r big others small. I am expecting my period soon though. Also a lot girls periods start to pick up in there 2-3 month but i still only use a liner i'm so light. By the way i love ur videos plz keep making them

[lifelaughlatte]

@Justusefullforgirls Probably little clots of blood. Totally normal. Fine if you see bigger ones too. Holly

your videos are really helpful so thx thanks for the advice but i want to know how long you have to wait before you can wear a tampon instead of a pad

[lifelaughlatte]

@hitoplop123 You don't have to wait at all if you don't want to. It could be helpful to go through a couple of months to understand your flow better. But you don't have to wait. Holly

I laughed sooooo hard when you put the pad over your eyes! You had that look on your face like "Well I'll just see how thick this thing really is!" HA!

Thank you so much for your videos, I get nervous when i try to talk to people about my period. I have like never asked for many period products and when i do I ask my brothers girlfriend and she buys them for me. I think I am going to get my period soon like in the next week, because I have some PMS symptoms. So thank you your videos help so much. Bye

I would like to suggest to you ladies to look into a menstrual cup. The Keeper and Mooncup (U.S.) are made in America (Ohio, in fact). They are a lot less cost and waste to throw away. Also there is little to no leakage [after a bit of a learning curve] especially at night, the average time between changing is 12 hours. I've used one for only 4 months now and I am a total convert. {33 year-old mom}

and when i started when i was sleeping and i didnt know it till i woke up and it look like someone murder me blood everywhere

[kristenschanel]

i have to use the alway night time thins that are really long but i leak easy so i still have to put some toliet papere be hide it :( and i use them all day not just for night time
