UNDER MAINTENANCE

advice

My mom won't let me use tampons, she thinks that I'm irresponsible and she's afraid that I won't take it out every 4 hours or w/e. What can i do to persuade her?..I hate pads.

Also, I didn't get my period all last month...at all. Is there something wrong with me?

Your mom knows what's best for you so I advise you not to wear tampons until she thinks you're ready. You can't feel them and you can catch a disease if you don't change it so it's harder to remember. But if you're really fixated on it just tell her this:
"Mom, I'm growing up and I really am more responsible. I know you know what's best for me, but at least give me a chance. I'll start out not wearing them as frequently and try to get adjusted successfully. I'll let you know if anything weird happens immediately, I promise."
Or something like that. Keep in mind that putting in a tampon can be painful if you're cherry isn't popped. Because inserting a tampon could pop it... which might make sex a bit less painful later but that's another story. As for your being normal, if you've had your period for about a year or a year in a half you're fine because you can have iregular periods from time to time... or maybe never have them regularly! So it's ok and there's really no reason to be worried, to the best of my knowledge, but if you are really concerned I suggest seeing a doctor about this... but I don't think it's anything abnormal.
Good luck with tampons! Lol
