Hey, I'm Kelli, better known as fabulous ;)
after a very long break from this site, I'm back and ready to help out anyone who needs it.
A little bit about me:
I'm fourteen and in eighth grade.
I'm a crazy girl, and I always have a smile on my face.
I love to sing and dance, I spend most of my time doing one or the other.
I am nice to everyone, until they give me a reason not to be.
I have the best friends in the world, and without their love and support, I wouldn't be who I am today.
Ask me anything, I'm told I'm good at advice so don't be afraid to ask my opinion. I'll do the best I can to help you out! ♥

Hey. Absolutely it is! I remember when I first got my period last year when I was 12, I wore a pad and was like "mom I feel like a duck cause this thing makes me waddle!" Practicing is actually pretty smart so you can be used to them when your period rolls around. Even though there big, that's good because they offer better protection from leakage. Try out different brands and sizes. Panty liners are generally for light days and they range from that to maxi pads for extremely heavy flows. If you still find that you do not like the pads, tampons are also an option. As for what to know, when you first get your period it will be VERY irregular so dont panic if it lasts for a very long time, ends quickly, or comes one month then skips a few others. Girls are generally not regular for at least a year. If you are into sports especially running, your period may stop during the season but thats normal so don't panic. Many girls get cramps with their periods some lucky girls get light ones other unlucky girls (myself included!) get kind of bad ones. Heating pads are excellent. Motrin works well also. Many people will tell you a warm bath is good but when you have yohr period, it isn't sanitary to take a bath. Make sure you change your pads often and especially tampons. Never sleep with a tampon in to avoid toxic shock syndrome (extremely rare disease from wearing a tampon over eight hours) dont panic this is VERY VERY rare. Try to take a shower every night on your period to keep that area clean. If you have any other questions feel free to ask! ♥ fabulous
