xo_dream answered Friday August 13 2004, 4:43 am: Just ask her if the next time she goes to the store she could get you some tampons. Or if you have a grocery list, put them on it. It's no big deal =) [ xo_dream's advice column | Ask xo_dream A Question ]

xo_Meg_ox answered Thursday August 12 2004, 8:07 pm: i kno what you mean about being embarassed - maybe you can go to the food store with her next time you go shopping and if you pass that aisle be like oh! i just remembered i wanted to buy tampons so i could go swimming!...or if you know a friend who has a pool and you're gonna go over there, tell your mom that you are just goin to hang out but don't plan on swimming and she'll be all like why? lol [ xo_Meg_ox's advice column | Ask xo_Meg_ox A Question ]
simpleesweet78 answered Thursday August 12 2004, 6:53 pm: Just tell your mom that you would rather have tampons so you can go swimming! i'm sure she would understand cuz she goes threw the same thing or ask her when shes in a good mood.

xXKiSsMeXx answered Thursday August 12 2004, 4:00 pm: just get up the courage and ask her sometime... make sure you say WHY you want to (swimming, comfortable... etc) OR who says she has to know? go out and buy some yourself [ xXKiSsMeXx's advice column | Ask xXKiSsMeXx A Question ]
lilmagoo8108 answered Thursday August 12 2004, 3:42 pm: Everyone says, just ask her! They are right. But it really depends on how close you are with your mom. I asked my sister to help me. If you are close just ask her. Or you can buy them yourself. If you a store close by just go into the asile where they are. I would recommend Tampax Pearl Regular. To be honest I have used tampons ever since I started. I have never used a pd. So, go for it and you'll be amazed the results..Good Luck and God Bless

dance20 answered Thursday August 12 2004, 2:33 pm: Hi!
What I think you should do is when your next period comes, ask your mom where the tampons are. If she says there aren't any, just ask if you can go to the store and buy some. OR, if she says she has some you can use, go find them, and if you don't like them, ask if you can buy some for yourself.
EmbracedxRain answered Thursday August 12 2004, 2:25 pm: Just ask her! Its no big deal really, shes your mom- shes been there herself. Its a woman to woman thing, she'll understand. So don't worry and just tell her you want them =) Hope it helps *amber* [ EmbracedxRain's advice column | Ask EmbracedxRain A Question ]
liddylflirtx3 answered Thursday August 12 2004, 2:21 pm: your mom probably uses tampons, so you shouldn't feel too nervous to ask her. you have good reasons to use tampons and it's not like you're losing your virginity or anything .. =) rate me!

BeezKneez answered Thursday August 12 2004, 2:16 pm: It shouldn't b a big deal 2 ask her. She went thru the same thing @ 1 point, and she should totally understand. Don't worry about it! Just go up 2 her and ask! [ BeezKneez's advice column | Ask BeezKneez A Question ]
CheapChineseFood answered Thursday August 12 2004, 1:55 pm: Maybe it's because I've had my period for years and I'm comfortabe saying I have it to anyone that calls me a bitch :) Why be scared? She's your mother. She has it too. Walk right up to her like it's no big deal (cuz it isn't) and ask..."Hey Mom! I heard tampons are easier...can you get me some?" It's as simple as that. Promise. And your mother won't even give it a second thought. Oh and there is directions in each tampon box to show you how to use them. ;) [ CheapChineseFood's advice column | Ask CheapChineseFood A Question ]
PLhotchick8456 answered Thursday August 12 2004, 1:54 pm: just say mom i've been wearing pads for a while now and i was wondering if i could start wearing tampons.
chances are she'll say yes and shes your mom so she probably went through the same thing... hope i helped ...drop 1 in my inbox! [ PLhotchick8456's advice column | Ask PLhotchick8456 A Question ]
Just_Being_True answered Thursday August 12 2004, 1:54 pm: This really isn't something that you need to be nervous about. You should be comfortable when you have your period. And your period shouldn't make you have to put your life and all of it's activities on hold. Your Mom should want you to be comfortable also...so just tell her that you would like to try tampons. * Alina * [ Just_Being_True's advice column | Ask Just_Being_True A Question ]
StiLLwiShinG_1217 answered Thursday August 12 2004, 1:52 pm: Ha! I've had this problem before.. My mom said no though.. hehe.. anyway.. What I did was just go up to her while she was sitting down watching TV, and simply said, "Mom, can I use tampons?" and she said no. yeah, nice strategy, but, it was the most direct and I got the answer I needed. If you don't want to do this, then you can play stupid with her and the next time u see a box of tampons at the store, u can ask if they work and the conversation could carry on to asking if you can have them from there.. I hope u can! It's so much more convenient..
Tell me wat happens!!

a_unit answered Thursday August 12 2004, 1:52 pm: tell her u want to go swimming tampons arent that big of a deal but you should talk to her so she doesnt freak out [ a_unit's advice column | Ask a_unit A Question ]
TucanFullOfHoles answered Thursday August 12 2004, 1:50 pm: ok i was just like you. i was nervous to ask my mom about tampons, but seriously, she was really cool about it. the thing about tampons is that they're hard to use if you're a virgin. it might not work out so well for you and that might be why she didn't offer it to you.
