I have this not-so-close friend who usually makes up lies to defend herself. She comes from a really protective family... So one example would be "No...I don't really wanna watch that movie" when it's obvious that she's not allowed. Anyway, one day she was talking about how she got her period when she was supposed to go swimming so everyone was like "tampon...duh" & she said it's some kind of "genetic" thing where she can't put one in. Her family is religious (strong catholics...so is everyone else that was sitting there) so I want to know if such a thing exists or if she's just covering up for her not being allowed to use them. thanks!
Additional info, added Monday February 20 2006, 9:31 pm: It's not that I really want to know what's going on with her... I just want to know if she's lying again. If you knew her like I do, you would wonder too.. Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Health? cheddar answered Tuesday February 21 2006, 4:15 pm: yes, there is such a thing that can prevent her from using tampons. but why are you so involved with this, if you say she's a "not-so-close" friend? it's really her business, and i don't think you should be mean about it. she could have a deformity. look at this site and maybe you'll be a bit nicer!!!

if "it's not like you really want to know what's going on with her.." you just want to know if she's lying again..? why? so you can embarass her and catch her in a lie? if she doesn't have anything preventing her from using tampons, she could just be scared. and if her parents won't let her watch a movie, maybe she'd just rather say she doesn't want to watch it so she doesn't have to explain it.

clearlypink428 answered Monday February 20 2006, 10:05 pm: there most definetely is NOT such a thing!- the only reason why a girl would be apprehensive to use one would be if she had an infection, or a u.t.i.- or if she's ever had t.s.s. when she says stuff that you dont believe, just catch her on it- and SUBTLY ask, for instance, when she sed she had a 'genetic' thing- you could have asked what the name of it was because youve never heard of it before. once she notices that she cant get away with lying about so much, she'll probably ease off. hope i helped. spitfire9631@yahoo.com [ clearlypink428's advice column | Ask clearlypink428 A Question ]
fish34 answered Monday February 20 2006, 8:26 pm: I would definitely suspect she is lying, but don't get on her case. It may be her family, but it might just be that she is the one uncomfortable using them, I know I sure am. Since she is a "not-so-close friend" I wouldn't really get into it the whole thing but maybe if you know someone who is closer to her, you could ask them to ask her about it. Maybe then she'll be more willing to explain her situation. [ fish34's advice column | Ask fish34 A Question ]
