I am almost 14 and I've never had my period before. I have a few questions that I really need answered.
1.) I heard that you gain weight during your period/puberty. I'm definitely in puberty right now, but I'm afraid that when I get my period, I'll gain alot of weight. Is this true?
2.) Does it feel uncomfortable to exercise when you have your period? I would really like to keep biking (about 60 min) daily. But I'm afraid it will feel uncomfortable if I have my period when exercising.
3.) Do tampons hurt to put in the first few times? I am probably going to have to wear them when exercising. But can you put them in wrong or can they get stuck? Also, which brand of tampons do you like the best? (link)

1. You will not gain alot of weight just from your period. It is true that girls do experience weight gain and loss during puberty because of hormones. But every girl is different and if you are concerned about gaining weight once you get your period, you should get consider watching what you eat and getting regular exercise.
2.I personally do not think it feels uncomfortable to exercise while Im on my period. You might feel a discomfort from cramps, but actually exercising helps decrease the pain from cramps. After you work out, you may just feel better.
3.It does hurt the first few times. I think part of the reason it hurts is because of being nervous. Just remember to relax your muscles and things will go alot smoother. Tampons cannot get stuck. I perfer tampax pearl.
