Can you go swimming without a tampon? Because I've heard your period kind of stops in water. What I mean is when your in water there isn't a flow. Because i cna't seem to put one in and I have to go swimming for PE class! Help! Thanks so much! And I rate. :D (link)
okay.
it stops but it will come back.
i was on the swim team and we barely had ten minutes to get our suits on and in the pool and we didnt have enough time to put the tampon in so a lot of girls went in without one.
it stops
but it will come back later on that day.



So I've been using tampons for a week, and I just went to take mine out, and it was difficult to take out, so I looked down, and there was this elastic skin that was wrapped around one edge!I didn't rip it or cut it or anything.I just had to dig the tampon out from the other side.So I was just wondering if that was good or bad that that happened, and if I should continue using tampons?? (link)
Continue to wear tampons if you find them comfortable, but also if it is difficult to take out, then keep it in a while longer and it will be easier to take out .


I'm leaving for the beach Friday, and will arrive and the beach Saturday evening. I'm excited, but there's a downer- I just started my period. Normally they last about five days, so I'd only be on it until Sunday, which isn't too bad. (But I haven't ever used tampons.) Are there anything I can do to make my period end quicker, preferably before or on Saturday? I've tried Google, but nothing really helped. (link)
Try tampons 1st and if thats not working for you go with a smalller tampon !

But if you don't like the feeling , just go with your period .
If you go in the water your period will just start , its like MAGIC !


I've had my period since I was 12 and ever since I've had it it's been regular. The last week of the month like clockwork. I've never been irregular before, but recently I lost some weight. About 20 lbs and now, it's no longer regular. It comes once a month, but at differnt times. For example it might come on the 14th of march and the 1st of may as opposed to comming on the last week of each month. What could be causing this?! Does it have anything to do with losing weight? (link)
yes losing weight will affect your period !
so dont lose weight rapidly in a short amount of time
good luck

Okay so I have been shaving my legs for a couple years, but I've just noticed that the hair grows back like extremely fast. It's never even completely gone like my friends legs will be so smooth and mine will have stubble the same day I shaved. Today I used a brand new razor and I still had stubble after, it never comes out smooth. Any tips? Or are there any other things that work like those spray on things that remove hair? My friend told me that it didn't work on her.. she used the one that you see on the commerical and the girl says Mine is Kiwi! and shes on the phone with her friend. Any help? (link)
when i shave my legs i use the venus vibrace razor and i dont use shaving cream
i use conditioner
it doesnt leave red bumps or irrateted skin
it comes out nice and smooth and you wont have to shave for a few extra days


Okay, yesterday I asked a question about teeth whitening with braces and the responses I got were mostly not to do it because I would look weird when I got my braces off.

Well, I forgot to mention that I would like my teeth to look especially white for a very special occasion coming up and a) i'm not getting my braces off for another six months and b) i don't care how my teeth look after I get my braces off because it will be MUCH easier to get them whitened afterward.

With that said, can anyone give me advice on what's safe to use to whiten your teeth with braces?

thank you! (link)
i answered your question yesterday and i know how to answer again DIFFERENTLY

well you can rince with hydrogen peroxide . listerine and brush with whitening toothpaste

oh crest white night or w/e they're called
the paste willl work fast and its easy


hope i helped and have fun on your special occasion


Please help. I am a 13 year old girl. I am pretty small (5 ft, 87 pounds). I want to know when I will get my period. I have had pubic hair for like a couple years and I have had discharge for probably a year. I feel so left out because all my friends have had there period and I have heard that your breasts get bigger when you get your period. I am so insecure at this stage of my life and I do not know what to do!! HELP! Thanks (link)
hey
i know what your going thru
honestly
well

im 15 and i barely started mine 3 weeks ago
yikes
haha
i was always left out too .
i had discharge and i had the pubic hair
but still i never had my period
im pretty sure your weight shouldnt matter
but i wouldnt stress about i because that could delay it
and believe me i wanted mine so bad
NOW I WANT IT GONE
i had to throw away lots of underwear and pants
"/
not good
but yah its really not that bad . . .
i mean be thankful you dont have it now .
it will come believe me

ask your mom when she started
and ask a sister also
you will usually start around the same time as them
but as for me
my mom started when she was 8 and i started at 15 A 7 YEAR DIFFERENCE
haha
thats not very common
also if you are active in sports that could cause the delay
but dont worry . . . it will come



if you have anymore questions . . . feel free to ask
im on aim
okay miss meghan

hope i helped


hey im 14/f and i've hd stretch marks on my boobs for the past 2 years. I know they're supposed to "go away eventually" but its been 2 years! They show up in bathing suits and when im wearing a bra. I know for a fact i will be felt up in the near future and opening up someones bra and seeing...stretch marks! EW! What should i do about them? DO yout hink a dermatologist would help me? (link)
get cocoa butter . that should do the trick
and i dont think they are permanent either !
hope i helped !!


I'm usually at school during the day, and get back sometime between 5-7. Sometimes I find myself getting tired/lethargic after being out all day long, so I feel unmotivated and just want to sleep-right now, for example, it's passed 8 PM, and I really feel too tired to concentrate on my project that absolutely must get done by tomorrow.
My question is, is it a good idea to take a half hour nap this late at night? Do taking naps at night make you feel more, or less energized?
Thanks (link)
yeah you can take a nap now
but usually when someone takes a nap they tend to go a little overboard and forget timing and whatnot

but yeah just take about an hour each day to take a little nap and re-energize
hope i helped !


ok. this is super duper embarassing.

i am 16, female. and i pee my pants when i laugh. like kinda bad. when i start laughing, i just lose control of my bladder. and then its soo hard trying to hide the (sometimes) huge wet spot on my pants. (i also wet the bed, but thats only once every 2-3 months so its not a huge problem)

i have tried using the bathroom like every five minutes: doesnt help AT ALL. i have tried thinking of something sad/not funny when i laugh: doesnt help. i have tried concentrating really hard on not peeing: doesnt help.

my social life has been affected by this: there is this girl i met at camp, and we became really good friends, but she lives like an hour away from me, but she has invited my to visit many times. i really want to, BUT SHE IS HILARIOUS!!!! ahhh!! (oh ya btw summer camp was hell for me: it was fun but also funny -> causes wet pants)

please help me. i am willing to do anything but get diapers (i wear tight jeans) and hang out with serious people. like i am actually a really humourous person myself, and it kills me to be scared to laugh. (link)
hey , i think what you should do is maybe wear a pad
that will catch most of the pee but if it doesnt then tell your mom to take a visit to the doctor
its just a bladder thing
most people go through this

hope i helped !


I heard people twease there pubic hair? Does it hurt? (link)
OMG yes
hahah
like im in swim and we kinda have to shave it or whatever
but ugh
it hurts
i did it once
ahaha
but i wouldnt recomend it
shave if anything
but shave the direction hair grows
or else you will get irritation
hope i helped !!


ok this may be long but i really need help!!!!

ok i live with my dad, i havn't started my period yet, and i just turned 13 yrs old so i'm at the age where i'll be "changing" well i cant bring up the subject with him because its extremely awkward.... but one day my mom got a pack of 36 pads, a little box of tampons, and razors (cheap). she just gave me the bag and said if i had any questions i could ask her, but I'M NOT GONNA ASK HER. that would be extremely awkward as well and dont tell me to just say it and be honest! kuz i won't do that. i just shave my under arms and niether of my parents know so i can't shave my legs. but i was wondering if i could open a pad and see wat it is like fot a second than put in bak in the the paper package thing it came in, then use it for when i do get my period. and if yall have anything else that yall could tell me, i would sure appreciate it.
P.S. and can't go to ANYONE ELSE!
thanks in advance
(link)
well i think when you start it
tell your dad that you started
like i started 2 weeks ago
and i live with both parents
and i didnt tell them
i just acted normal
but i told my sister
and i wanted her to tell
she made everything better
she told my mom
and my mom doesnt really care
she knows best
and yeah she also knew i was gonna start it soon
so yeah

also dont take it out
cuz the adhesive layer on the pad might catch lint from the underwear
and stop working so it will shift when you do need a pad

ask a sister or your mom if you have questions because they had to go thru the same thing when they were little

also dont be afrais to tell them because sooner or later
you are gonna have to tell themm about other things like
bf's , sex , marriage , pregnancies etc

so dont be ashamed
you are totally fine


good luck


OK i pick my lips 24/7
i pick them until they start bleeding, and they hurt ALL the time
I use chapstick all the time, and never go any where with out.
So can anyone giving me somthing that'll maybe help my lips stop pealing.
i don't want chapsticks though (link)
instead of biting and messing with your lips play with your hair or something that will keep you occupied .
and for the lips . . . .

try
carmex
blistex
vaseline
and vitamin e lip balm will work too


hope i helped !!


so, i want to lose 10 pounds so im trying to eat healthier. i normally eat cheezits and fruit snacks but today i got those uncrustables (pb n j thing) and a bag of chips only because i was really hungry. but would the pb n j be healthy for me to eat everyday at lunch? (link)
yeah
those are delicious and nutritious
haha
i love them
they are also on the list of foods that prevent diabetes
=]


14/f

Ok well every since i was little mayber like 4 or 5 i have never wiped after i went pee, i would never get any infections and it wouldnt bug me, and atually it would bug me more if i wiped, so my question is, is there anything wrong with me? (link)
nope
nothing is wrong with you
you grew into a habit
and its very money wise

i mean think of all the money your family has to go through for toilet paper and what not
i mean
thats smart
sometimes i dont wipe either
but good for you

hope i helped !


Sorry about the wrong category btw! Well I have this important party to attend on sunday. I am worried to get pimples so I decided i'd use the clean and clear acne spot treatment on my whole face....will it work? Will it harm my skin? (link)
i have sensitive skin
and i rarely get break outs
but when i do
i wash my face with a mud treatment the mud from the dead sea is the best !!
i leave the mud on for about 30 minutes then with warm water i was it off
the mud tends to be a little pricy [mine was $80]


OR

you can go to a beauty store or somewhere
and get a pack of the dead sea bath salts
and if they are big
put them in a blender just to make them smaller
and put it in a little cup and add i tiny bit of milk and a tiny bit of honey
and gently scrub it on your face



warning

if it hurts
use a smaller amount
and scrub more gently
and

for next time
try to make the salts smaller by blending them for a few more seconds




but as for now
the clean and clear will work fine


hope i helped

if you need anything
just ask !!
=]


Does toothpaste help get rid of pimples? (link)
it works great for me
but it tends to dry out my skin if i leave a little on too long

its good for those pimples that have to go away for a big occasion
but drink water
and pimples go away


okay. well all my friends have really cute underwear and i don't! i buy only black cause i'm so scared that i'll get my period and then i'll have to throw that underwear i away...

well, i was just wondering, how do you know when youre gonna get your period so you can put on black underwear like the day before? my doctor told me you can find out if you press the center of your nipple. if it's sensitive, you are either getting your period or you have it. so i've been doing that, but sometimes i'm like a day off and then i have throw my underwear out again!

so my question is... how can i wear cute underwear without risking that it's gonna get stained? ANY advice i'll take! and i'm not a mean rater either so if you don't really know i'll give you a five anyway (link)
just wear a pantiliner
thats what i did before i started
and then
i saw a lil blood
then
i got my ugly undies
ahahh
hope i helped


Hi, I go to bed at 10, and wake up at 6:30
is it safe to leave a tampon in? (link)
hey i just started my period
and i went straight to tampons
and yeah
as long as its 8 hours


i have a couple dark mustache hairs around my mouth. what would the best way to get rid of them - pluck, cut or die? if dying is the best way, what kind of dye can i use? and what should i do about my happy ttrail? (link)
since when you ask a question its anonymous i dont know whether or not you are a girl or a boy

so im just going to say
if you are a girl
ask your mom to take you to a salon and wax it off
dying and plucking it harsh to the skin and painful

if your a guy shave it




and your happy trail
...
just leave it for now !!

hope i helped !
