Well I guess all todders are curious, but lately DD#1 seems to be asking ALOT of questions! I need advice on the best way to answer these questions!

The main one at the moment is a bit silly really (or rather I guess I feel silly for having to ask about this )

She keeps finding tampons & pads and asking what they are! Usually I'm a fan of telling an age appropriate version of the truth. But with this I'm hesitant - I guess I feel like she really doesn't need to know about periods yet (she's only 3) but also my mother was never really open about things with me when I was a child - so I don't have that experience to go by.

I remember asking what tampons were when I was about 4 or 5, and mum just told me they were soaps! Hehe so then I used to dangle them in the toilet! I digress...

Anyway, so what do YOU tell your inquisitive DD's? Does anyone have any advice? I don't think I can just keep hiding them, or blowing her off when she does ask.

TIA
