Ok so I got my period kind of young, in 5th grade. Now im in 6th grade and even though i know more and more girls are starting to get it, im still reallly scared to tell anyone. Well obvilusly (sp?) like anyone else i dont want leaks. but the problem is since i am young i cant put in a very large tampon, so some blood always gets on my underware. I've tried wearing pads with my tampon but it feels so uncomfortable. What should i do? Thanxxx in advance<3

Anywho, in my opinion, pads are wayy better than tampons 'cause you don't have to worry about them being in for too long and giving you Toxic Shock Syndrome. Even though you might feel like you're wearing a diaper, you just place the pad in your underwear unlike having to insert the tampon all the way "up there." lol.
