advice

hi. I am a 13/f and i started my period about 6 months ago. I play soccer alot and do track in school. I have never used a tampon, only pads. My mom wont bring the subject up and i'm too nervous to ask her how to use it or if I can use them. PLEASE HELP!!!! my soccer tournament is in a few weeks and thats when my next period is supposed to come! any advice on how my mom can bring up the subject? or how i can get the nerve to talk to her about this?? should i just not tell her and just use one?? but i've never used one before and i'm nervous and dont know how to use one. PLEASE HELP!! thank you sooooo much

Tampons are very uncomfortable when you first put them in, and I would not recommend them unless you've had your period for at least 5 years or are an adult. Also, you could get TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome). They are very hard to put in, and it might take a while to do on your first time.

If I haven't dissuaded you already... if you REALLY want to use a tampon, just bring it up with your mom, its no big deal. Its not like she hasn't been through what you're going through right now. When you're alone, in the car or whatever, just say something like, "Hey, Mom, could you pick up a pack of tampons for me next time you go to the store?" I think she'll take the hint. Although if she says the same thing I did, don't try to go out and buy apack on your own. She knows best.

And just so you know... you can do sports with a pad. Just change it before your game starts.
