If I get my period in school how would I take a pad quietly out of my bag and to the toilet without anyone noticing or the packaging crinkling. And then how would I open it quietly?

Show Answer

Most pads now come with whisper wrappers that are so less noisy than in years before, they are also wrapped into a nice little square so you can easily pop one up your sleeve or in your pocket. Consider our teens range of pads, shorter and narrower than adult brands but just as absorbent and much more discreet.

Im 26, and have never used a tampon because I dont like the feeling of sticking something up "there" and i have a fear of developing TSS but at the same time I feel nauseous when I see my period blood, and especially when I smell it. So I dont know what to do really in terms of my protection options for my period

Show Answer

There are a few different types of internal period protection such as tampons or menstrual cups, both work by capturing menstrual fluid internally. If you don't like the thought of using your fingers to insert the tampon consider an applicator tampon. Lil-Lets do both a cardboard and reusable option. We also have a 'How to Guide' you may find useful, please see our links below.

Hiii, Vicki so a few questions: What is smegma? Also, does a period smell bad? If you were to have a pad in while excersising would people smell it? Also, I am worried because I have had discharge for 4 years and I haven't gotten my period yet. My mum was a good bit younger when she had it, so did most of the women in my family. ALSO WHAT TYPE OF BRAS CAN U GET????? Thank you so sos sos sososososososo much, sorry for burdening you. :)

Show Answer

Hi, Smegma is a white oily substance that keeps the folds of the labia lubricated, it is quite normal and different to discharge. 

Period blood has very little smell to it when inside the body, it's only when it is released and comes into contact with the air around us that bacteria forms and an odour is noticed. This is why I advise changing a pad every 3-4 hours, or even better wearing a tampon.

A period can arrive between the ages of 8-18, and it's a bit of a myth that we all start our periods at the same time as family members, our bodies you see are unique, and your period will arrive when the time is right just for you.

See below for a guide to all the different types of bra that are available.

Can a period be tough?

Show Answer

Some people experience a little discomfort during their period, but this is not true for everyone. And for most people a period does not stop them getting on with their day as usual. Check out our blog My First Period Story - First Period Stories | Becoming a Teen
