I'm 13 and I got my period November of 2003. My mom doesn't really like me using tampons, I never have, and I never really wanted to. Until now. They seem some much easier, and more conveniant. My question is, which kind do I buy? Mine aren't usually really heavy, but they aren't light either. So what brands to you reccomend?
FrEe2bMe answered Monday September 13 2004, 9:42 pm: Hey there. I totally was in the same situation as you when I was your age! My mom didn't want me to wear 'em either! But, you are right..they are A LOT easier than pads! And also, a lot more comfortable. My recommendation to you would be to get Regular absorbancy **Unscented**. The regulars can hold more than the slim fits and they are really easy to put it. A great brand that's easy to use (for first users especially) are the Playtex Gentle Glide (plastic applicator). Also, if you have some super heavy days and then some now so heavy days you could get a Playtex variety pack that has everything from Slims to Supers. Also, since it will be your first time and you aren't really sure if you can keep yours in for the whole 7-8 hours with no leaks I would suggest you to wear a panty liner or thing maxi pad with it. Good luck! :) [ FrEe2bMe's advice column | Ask FrEe2bMe A Question ]
