asking mom
I know this may sound stupid but like me and my mom aren't very close like most kids and their moms so I don't like going up to her and asking her to get me stuff like pads/tampons. I usually just send like a text or email and she'll get them for me, which probably also sounds stupid. But I recently sent an email and asked her to get me pads and I also asked to get me food and stuff. Well she got the food but she didn't get the pads for some reason. I don't know why though. So I guess I'll have to get them when me and my whole family go to the grocery store. And my family usually just stays in one big group and I don't want to like bring them all into that aisle. Is there a way I can like just put them in the cart without them noticing?

Walk ahead and get there before them and put it into the cart.:)

i'm not close to my mom either but just tell her. if you're on and don't have any, ask her for (or just take haha) a few of hers then she'll be the one buying them for both of you. (you're probably not on at the same time anyway)If your family always goes grocery shopping together, don't buy them there.... just get them next time you're at target with your mom. get enough for about 3 periods so you won't have to do it often.
if you don't want anyone to notice just kinda be like oh i'm gonna go get the cereal that i forgot to get and then grab that and some pads and stick it in the cart real fast. if your mom says why didn't you ask me first when she notices (which i doubt she will even mind) just say that you didn't want the whole family finding out and she will understand. <3

Hey,
I know you feel uncomfortable asking her, but just sit down one day and tell your mom that you need some pads, and that you feel uncomfortable asking, then try to make a code, like mom, I need some macaroni and then everytime you say that she can just get them. If you make it something stupid then you can even put it on the grochery list for her. Yeah converstaions with parents can be uncomfortable, but you'll realize as you get older, then pads arent really something thats uncomfortable to talk about anymore, and all you have to do for right now, is try and get through it and eventually it'll be okay. Try to think of pads as like something stupid like macaroni and that will help too.
This is tough right now but you'll get through it dont worry, ad for the future try and tell your mom early, so you always have some extras, and dont run into this problem again.
As far as when you go shopping, try and talk to your mom quickly before and she can just grab them as if they are for her. If that doesnt work, when they're checking out, say you'll be right back and run off to get somet then run over to a different cash register and buy them. Good luck, Hope I helpped, love ya,

Offer to push the cart for awhile. Or, throw them in along with a box of cereal. Nobody will notice, and even if they do, it'll probably be your mom adding up the prices of everything. The cereal box should distract everyone else. Plus, it's not a big deal for a girl to buy pads. Don't worry about it =]
