Tampax is definitely the best brand of tampons. There is also Tampax Pearl, which is made by the same brand, it's just different.

my freind has 2 holes in each ear, and she wanted another one. has been buggin her mom for like half a year. a few days ago, she peirced it. she told me that it hurt...so she only stuck the needle halfway through. now there is a reddish purple bump over where the hole should be. it is soo noticable is it infected or something?

Yes, it's infected. Did you friend sterilize the needle that she pierced her ear with? If she didn't, then this probably caused the piercing to get infected. Just tell her to keep cleaning it and to go to a place where someone will pierce it that knows how.

Cn anyone help me by giving any websites that have layouts I could use for advicenator? And where exactly do you put the codes?.. if there are any. Thanks

There are no layouts for columns on Advicenators. Only columnists who have paid accounts can customize their own column so it's like making their own layout. You can only enter HTML codes into your Profile Settings to change the color of links, your information font, the scrollbar, and small things like that.

I have circles under my eyes and they look terrible. Please,dose anyone no websites or a simple home made solution for it?[[or something you could by at CVS along those lines..]]

Try going to your local Pharmacy or CVS and buy an under eye concealer that will cover up the circles. You don't have to use an exact under eye concealer; you can use a regular concealer and that will work and it will help hide them.

Does anyone know of any movies with dancing in them?
Apart from musicals, I think I've watched enough musicals to last me a life time.

It doesn't matter what type of dancing it is I just need dancing in it.

Some movies that is based on dance is Dirty Dancing and Dirty Dancing Havana Nights (the second movie), You Got Served, Shall We Dance, Honey, Save the Last Dance, and a few others. I could name more but those are movies that are good.

I think that i may have an ear infection and i'm wondering do i have to take out the ear rings let it close or can it heal eventually?

You don't have to take out the ear rings; just make sure you clean both the ear rings and the are around the infection and it will heal soon. If it doesn't heal, then you should take them out.

You just need to tone your stomach/abs by doing crunches, sit ups, side crunches, and by running or jogging. If you want other exercises, then check out the fitness section of http://www.toneteen.com.

Can you wear a skirt when you have your period? Is it safe to? Because I have my school picture tomorrow and I'm due to get my period tomorrow too! So I dont know what I should do! Help me out here! Thanks

Yes, you can wear a skirt while you're on your period but the only problem with that is that you may need to wear a tampon, since using pads will be uncomfortable. It's safe to wear one, don't worry.

what is a pre paid cellphone details ideas etc....

A pre-paid cellphone is just like any ordinary cell phone, except you don't receive monthly bills about your minutes and such. You basically buy your own minutes and pay for them whenever you want, rather than every month.

okay I just got my braces today and I think I look kinda stupid, but I just wanted to know if anyone knows whether or not it's harder to kiss, I've never actually kissed a guy but I have my braces for 2 years so I think I'll probably kiss a guy within those 2 years, so if anyone could help me that would be great, thx!

Anna

It's not harder to kiss if you have braces, rather than without. The only thing that is different is that if a guy kisses you, he may get a cut but no one that I know has ever had that happen to them.

How many years older should a guy be for a girl to date?

How many years younger should a girl be for a guy to date?

It doesn't matter what the age difference is between a couple; as long as it's legal, it's all right.

where can i get cute myspace layouts??

I don't know any exact links but there are people on Myspace who do have a site that has layouts on there. Just do a search on Myspace and type in Layouts and you can get links that way. Or you can use generators that will change the colors and text on your Myspace. If you want a few generator links, I'll give you some.

i have really frizzy curly hair and for the last year i have been straightening it everyday which gets rid of the frizz aswell as the curl but this summer i really don't want to be straightening my hair everyday i want to enjoy my time in the sun but without the frizz i have tryed loads of different frizz shampoo's but i can't find one that will make me have cute natural curls (like i have) but without the great frizz,
anyone know anything i can try??

John Freida's "Frizz Ease" just came out with a new shampoo/conditioner that will help your hair from not frizzing. Other than that product, Pantene Pro-V and Garnier Fructice both have products that will smooth out your hair and not make it frizz.

Is it normal to still be bleeding the day after your first time?

Yes, it's normal to still be bleeding but if nothing changes and you are still bleeding after a few days, then that isn't normal.
