So hi Vicki two questions. . . . Why is it kinda itchy around my pubic hair area and also why haven't I gotten my period yet because I've had two years of discharge and my mom got her period when she was my age so I'm just a tad bit confused. Thanks so much.

Show Answer

Hi, firstly when pubic hair starts to grow it can feel a little itchy as it brushes against your skin, my tip is to wear cotton underwear to help reduce static. And please don't worry about when your period will be here, we do not all follow the same pattern for first periods as our family. Your period will be here when your body feels the time is right just for you.

How old do you have to be to use tampons?

Show Answer

Hi, there really is no age for using tampons. I always advise that you have 4-5 periods before trying tampons, this allows you to get used to your flow and cycle, both of which can be a little erratic for the first few years. Once you do feel ready to try tampons consider what absorbency you want and check out the Lil-Lets range.

What type of pads are good for girls about 11, I have my first period and my moms pads are way too big.

Show Answer

Hi, here at Lil-Lets we understood very early that girls new to periods needed specific products that would fit nicely into their underwear, and that sometimes adult pads were just too big. For this reason we created our teens range of pads and liners, ideal for smaller bodies, here is the link, and details about where to purchase.

I hate my boobs, I am the only one in my class who has them and I feel like everyone is staring at me.

Show Answer

I do appreciate how you feel, especially if you are the first to notice breast development. But I can assure you if anyone is staring, it's out of curiosity that you have started to develop, as this is something many girls hope to see as they enter puberty. So be proud of your new shape and be the one to answer questions if your friends ask.

Vicki can a period start at night do you think?

Show Answer

Yes, periods can arrive at anytime of day or night, so if you feel that your period is not too far away, then it may be a good idea to wear pant liners and keep some pads with you when out and about. Check out our teens range of products ideal for those new to periods, shorter and narrower than adult products but just as absorbent.

Hi it's LXI545, thanks for the reply, I'll look at those. I have another question too though, I've only tried to use non applicator tampons but I'm wondering which you think is easier and if I should try normal applicator ones, buy a reusable applicator, or just stick to without?

Show Answer

Hi, it really is a personal choice, both my daughters and I prefer non-applicator tampons as they are small and discreet and can sit nicely in your purse, or pocket. But like anything new they do take a little practice to insert, and the same is true for applicator tampons too. So my advice would be to stick with the non-applicator and not to worry too much if you don't get it right first time.

How do you use tampons?

Show Answer

Hi, great question and trust me even though it can take a little practice, once you've tried tampons you will be so glad you did.

My top tips are below:

• Relax
• Always try on your heaviest of days - generally days 2 or 2.
• Insert the tampon in a slanting direction towards the base of your spine.
• Don't worry if you don't get it right first time, and can feel the tampon, you can either remove and start again with a new one, or try to push the tampon up a little farther with your finger.

Hi! I recently found some lil let's teen tampons in my sister's old bag, I googled them but I can't find where to buy more. They're not on boots or superdrug and I found some lil let's teen super tampons on Amazon but it said currently unavailable. Can I get more of these and where from? Have they been discontinued and if so why and will they ever come back???

Show Answer

Hi, unfortunately these have now been discontinued from the Lil-Lets teens range, due to insufficient interest. But you may find our lite or regular non-applicator absorbencies are just as suitable if you are new to tampons.

You have talked about discharge right ? So I have it really bad and I dont know if my mum notices it when I put my knickers in the wash but should I tell her so she can buy me liners or should I continue to use the ones from school -Madelyn aged 11

Show Answer

Hi Madelyn, if discharge bothers you, or is making your feel uncomfortable during the day, then yes have a chat to your mum and ask about panty liners, especially our teens ones, that will fit snugly into your underwear. See our link below.
