period leaking
14/f
ok so I've had my period for a year now, and i've never used a tampon... is that normal?
another question is what tampons do you suggest for starters? If it helps I play a sport.
And last question- When i wear pads... I always have this feeling that my period is leaking through my jeans in school. But really its not. I don't know how to explain it, but it just feels really weird.
What are some ways to prevent my period from leaking? and What are some ways to make less blood come out, so I feel safer?
thnx, much appriciated

It's perfectly normal that you've never used a tampon. Some women simply prefer pads over tampons, and that's fine.
I'd suggest a junior sized tampon with an applicator since you've never used one. Tampax Pearl makes a good junior tampon.
You can prevent your pad from leaking by changing it every 4-6 hours. The only way to decrease menstrual flow is by going on birth control, even still, not all women have lighter periods while on birth control.

ok first; yes its normal. i didnt use tampons until i was 15, almost 16 =] but thats just because i had a bad experience lol that we won't get into! haha so yeah.. now that i've sucked it up and stopped being such a weenie, i use them whenever i had my pd. PLAYTEX SPORT!!! amazingggg. but you might feel leaky with them, soooo i recommend TAMPAZ PEARL!!! they're equally amazing and have a leak catching braid thing. you should wear a panty liner with them to feel extra safe =] good luckkkkk hun! ♥

its totally normal that you have never used a tampon. im 16 and i just started using tampons over the summer even though ive had my period since i was 12 or 13.
tampax regulars to heavy are my favorite ones.
its kind of weird when you first start using them but their way better than pads.
and if your still worried about leaking then do what i do. i wear a pad and tampon to school that way if i leak through the tampon i still have that pad until i get to the bathroom.
hope i helped.
