when i got mine my mum made a big deal about it and i hated it. done the whole was so excited wanted to take me out had to tell nana. i was like big deal and hated the attention from it.
we didnt learn about it at school until year 10, and give I got mine in year 7 that was kinda too late.
Luckily my mum spoke to me about it, but I refused to take the stuff to school in my school bag - we had no where to store our bags and people used to go through them - so there was no way I was them to school until I had to. Lucky for me it was school holidays, and I was on the loo at home.
Well we've had the talk since I started this thread, and it was really good... We were both there, I talked, and Ad just sat with us...
She took it fine, we put a pad into some undies, and she decided to wear it to bed... She is such a card...
Her only question was "will it hurt?" I explained IT doesn't hurt, but she may get some cramps and belly aches, feel a little sick and dizzy...( I had iron tablets for a while cause I kept fainting.. )
Showed her tampons for when she's older, and she has her liners and pads in her underwear drawer
She siad she had never heard of them before (periods) and none of the other girls had mentioned it.
We decided to go bra shopping after winter, as singlets will do till then... I jokingly told her Ad can go with her, and she went, "yeah, ok, at Target?"
