ok i live with my dad, i havn't started my period yet, and i just turned 13 yrs old so i'm at the age where i'll be "changing" well i cant bring up the subject with him because its extremely awkward.... but one day my mom got a pack of 36 pads, a little box of tampons, and razors (cheap). she just gave me the bag and said if i had any questions i could ask her, but I'M NOT GONNA ASK HER. that would be extremely awkward as well and dont tell me to just say it and be honest! kuz i won't do that. i just shave my under arms and niether of my parents know so i can't shave my legs. but i was wondering if i could open a pad and see wat it is like fot a second than put in bak in the the paper package thing it came in, then use it for when i do get my period. and if yall have anything else that yall could tell me, i would sure appreciate it.
P.S. and can't go to ANYONE ELSE!
thanks in advance

meghan2492 answered Saturday March 31 2007, 1:35 am: well i think when you start it
tell your dad that you started
like i started 2 weeks ago
and i live with both parents
and i didnt tell them
i just acted normal
but i told my sister
and i wanted her to tell
she made everything better
she told my mom
and my mom doesnt really care
she knows best
and yeah she also knew i was gonna start it soon
so yeah
also dont take it out
cuz the adhesive layer on the pad might catch lint from the underwear
and stop working so it will shift when you do need a pad
ask a sister or your mom if you have questions because they had to go thru the same thing when they were little
also dont be afrais to tell them because sooner or later
you are gonna have to tell themm about other things like
bf's , sex , marriage , pregnancies etc
feel_the_burn answered Saturday March 31 2007, 12:36 am: you shouldnt take the pad out of the plastic thing that goes on it, if you put it back, it may not stick and it will look all lumpy, and more noticeable, try putting it at the very back of something
and the thing about your dad, i live with my mom and my dad
so maybe i dont have it the same but its similair
when i first started, i told my dad that i had started my "condition" and he pretty much got it lol
if you have a sister, maybe ask her
