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.

Hi Vicki what does black period blood mean im scared

Show Answer

Hi, please don't worry period blood that appears so dark red it looks black is just a heavy flow and nothing you need be alarmed by. If you also notice clots, remember that if they are smaller than a 10p this is also fine too, although you may find you need to wear a long or night pad for this heavy flow.

Whats the difference between non-wired bras and wired ones? Do wired bras just offer more support?
