first of all..cant you leave tampons in for 6-8 hours..and school is only about 5 hours..so why would u have to change it inbetween classes?..that kind of confused me..but if your scared of your friends seeing it..you shouldn't be..they all go through the same things as you...although if you have guy friends that go through it it might not be such a great idea...but i think if u change it durring lunch that should be fine..i wouldn't worry about it k hun
eternity answered Saturday February 5 2005, 10:11 am: If you wear pockets, just stuff em in there. Also, um...so what if everybody knows? It's not like it's that bad or anything. NEVER EVER EVER leave it in for more than 8 hours or you will get Toxic Shock Syndrome. Trust me, it's happened to my friend. She had to go to the hospital and everything.Just stop being such a wimp and go to the bathroom, gosh! ~Jordan Wang~ [ eternity's advice column | Ask eternity A Question ]

diffenderfer answered Saturday November 27 2004, 12:46 am: Do you happen to wear a hoodie during classes? At my school, the AC is always on, so it's freezing. What I do is just put the tampon in my hoodie pocket, get my hall pass signed, and voila! Just make sure that you are holding onto the tampon with at least one hand at all times, so that it doesn't fall out. [ diffenderfer's advice column | Ask diffenderfer A Question ]

rainbowcherrie answered Monday November 22 2004, 2:41 pm: Get tampax compact and keep one in your pocket. They are very small and descreet so nobody will notice. That way, you can leave classes without anyone batting an eyelid. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
lyDia_LoU answered Monday November 22 2004, 12:39 pm: Sorry, but I think you need to go during class! I know it sucks, but I don't think guys realize what's going on most of the time. And girls won't care, bc in a couple weeks they'll be doing the same thing. Hope I helped! [ lyDia_LoU's advice column | Ask lyDia_LoU A Question ]

dramaqueenbabeiwb answered Sunday November 21 2004, 8:04 pm: Between classes tell your teacher u need extra time. She'll understand, you're a girl. If u need to change during lunch, you could wait for everyone to leave or just change. When u say "manage it" if u mean not being made fun of, u wont. ALL girls get their period and girls won't make fun of u. ( i didn't no wut u meant) well hope i helped [ dramaqueenbabeiwb's advice column | Ask dramaqueenbabeiwb A Question ]
xO_Chelsea_Ox answered Sunday November 21 2004, 7:09 pm: Hmmm... at my school, there is not time to change your pads or tampons, so, everyone just wears a tampon AND a pad so that are covered for the day... i hoped i helped!! :)
LilMia811 answered Sunday November 21 2004, 6:13 pm: look, who cares if people know you have your period. this is a natural and very common thing. you are acting like YOU are the only person in class who gets it. if you gotta go and change your tampon, then you gotta go, you shouldnt feel embarassed. trust me, kids in school are worried about waaaay more juicer gossip, then someone having thier period. so just keep tampons in your purse and if you have to leave class then go. but if this a really big deal for you (which it shouldnt be) then maybe you should wear a panty liner for back up protection. that way if you leak before lunch youll still be safe.

HunniBunni answered Sunday November 21 2004, 6:08 pm: Put it in your pockets or under your shirt when you are going to the bathroom in between classes. Or put it in your bra or something. Not your lunchbox that's like the number 2 things people look in besides books bags. Hope i helped ya -Bianca [ HunniBunni's advice column | Ask HunniBunni A Question ]
Cath answered Sunday November 21 2004, 5:27 pm: Hi Sweetie,
My period is more... less frecuent than avarage I gguess so fortunately I don't have to worry every three weeks (l.o.l.) ...Well lunch is a good time.Or nutrition. Don't you have a backack or something? Or when you have your period go to school wearing one and get one from the nurses' office. OR take your purse to the restroom. Maybe you're being paranoid... girls go to the restroom with their purses to apply on their make up.
It's eassy if you go STRAIGHT to the restroom right when the bell rings for nutrition or lunch. I don't think you should stuff yor tampoon in your lunch box... if you ever drop it or something... it'll be sooo freaken emebrrasing.
Wait! You wear tampoons istead of pads? Well you can use the new ones that are in a little wrapper and really eassy to hide.
I'm sorry I can't help. I don't find it difficult to hide my pads... but I don't really let my frieds go through my purse. Maybe if you didn't let them go through your purse in your time of the month... I really have n mre help to offer.
Good luck! My best wishes! ~Blessed Be... [ Cath's advice column | Ask Cath A Question ]
gsgirl answered Sunday November 21 2004, 5:22 pm: well you dont have to change them at school you can keep them in for 7 hours. but if u have to like go to ur locker slip on up ur shirt sleve and go to the bath room no one will ever no. and so what if ur friends find them everyone has to have them.good luck [ gsgirl's advice column | Ask gsgirl A Question ]
