ASK VICKI A QUESTION

It’s only natural to want or need some puberty advice when you start to see your body changing.

If you have a question about periods, changes to your body or how you're feeling and can’t find the answer on here, ask Vicki for some advice. Just type in your question and press submit.

If our agony aunt Vicki can help you, she'll post an answer in ‘Your questions answered’ page, so don't forget to keep checking it. You don’t have to give us your name, it’s completely anonymous and nobody will know it was you that asked. Vicki knows a lot about periods and sanitary protection but she isn’t an expert on everything and isn’t medically trained, which means she may not be able to answer every question. But don't worry, if she can’t help, she'll suggest where you should go for the right advice.

If you like a boy should you be okay to give him a Christmas gift, we're not dating or even that close but I do have a crush on him and his friends have told him I have a crush too!

Vicki would you say asking for 10 Christmas presents makes me spoilt, my friends say I am too much and showing off. But honestly all of them come to less than £300, so I don't see the problem.

Can you tell me when my first period will be here, I have discharge and boobs, so when will it be here, I am 12 and a half.

Show Answer

Discharge is generally noticed for about 6-12 months before the arrival of a first period and at just over 12, I am sure you will not have much longer to wait. My tip would be to keep some period pads with you from now on, when out and about, so you are always prepared.  Check out the Lil-Lets teens range below.

My pad feels so uncomfortable and I don't know how to fix it,I've tried adjusting it but it just really annoys me any advice?

Show Answer

Hi, like anything new using a pad can take practice. If you are a teen or pre-teen you may find our Lil-Lets teens range of pads a more suitable option as they are shorter and narrower than other brands but just as absorbent.  Teens: Period Products For Teenagers | Lil-Lets

I HATE PERIODS, THEY ARE RUINING MY LIFE!!!!!

Show Answer

Firstly, it's ok to be angry and a little upset with the disruption a period can bring, but remember to be proud too as this is a stage in your life when you grow from being a child to a young woman. As you get older you will quickly realise that periods do not have to stop you getting on with your daily life at all.

What to say to the boys in my class when they tease girls about periods, my teacher does nothing and its so embarrassing?

Show Answer

It’s a necessary fact of life that girls get periods and there can be a lot of mystery surrounding this and boys are naturally curious about this subject, which is a good thing, as they do need to understand periods and the impact it can have on a girl. So if you find yourself being teased let them know that women all over the world have periods probably also their own mother and sisters, so they need to be a little more mature in future.
