Q: 14/f

after school, i'm doing a sport and well around now is when i'm supposed to get my next period. So I already know that I can't wear tampons when you do not have your period. Well for now until my period starts I am wearing Maxi Pads and well they have the slips that you tuck under your underwear so they stay in place...

My question is when I change in the locker rooms (i can't in the bathroom) there's gonna be almost 50 other girls there... and well I really do not want them to see me with a pad, so my question is what if I wear some kind of workout tights/shorts underneath my jeans at school, and then after school when we change nobody can see my underwear, and so i would just change into shorts.

does that seem weird? would people laugh??

if this sounds like a bad idea- how do i make my pad seem less visible in front of people when I change?

I CAN'T wear a tampon yet because i havn't gotten my period yet, it's gonna be starting pretty soon, so i just wanna be prepared.

PLEASE answer quickly. thank you!
I think if you wear shorts under your jeans people are going to ask you about it, it'll be noticable. if you're wearing a pad and someone sees then it's no big deal, everybody wears them, it's perfectly fine. And to be honest, unless you're wearing see-through undies I doubt they'll notice it anyway, someone would really have to stare at your crotch to see the little fold down tabs.

thanks so much!

I've been in the advice column over five years now so I think I've pretty much heard it all... the love, the hate, the random insanity. I don't take it too seriously, so I'm not always giving the best advice, but my column is fun to read!

I am a 23 year old electrical engineer, a feminist, a Christian. I don't know everything but I can sure pretend to.

Disclaimer: Now that I'm on advicenators I'm getting even more questions every day. It's fast and easy for me to answer them, yes, so at least I'm answering something now, but if your question contains the words "there's this guy that I like..." chances are I won't get around to it. I'm only answering interesting questions that I haven't answered before. Register at the site and ask everyone for advice if you must have an answer, because if people read my column and boring love advice was all they found, they'd never come back.
