Tell Mom about period...
I just had my period and I know I should tell my mom but I don't want to be embarrassed. I cannot find the right words to tell her that I've started. It wouldn't be a problem but my mom doesn't have periods right now and doesn't keep any pads or tampons in the house because of that. I can't just stuff toilet paper in my panties. My friend gave me a few pads but I can't keep asking her for them. How do I tell my mom about my period and not feel stupid? I don't want her to make this into a big deal...

Let your mom make it into a big deal. its a big deal for a mother when their daughter gets there first period. Tell her. I got my first period the day of vacation that morning. i was so upset and my mom was all excitied.

Mothers always make it into a big deal because they say their baby is growing up.Just tell her to give you pads or go to the store with her and get pads and hopefully she dnt make a scene in public

If your worried about telling your mom, ask her if you can have some money to buy some tampons/pads for yourself. You don't have to tell her what you need the money for, just tell her you need some money to pick up a few items. She may not be okay with that but it's worth a try.
It really isn't hard to tell your mom. She was in your place once and will be completely understanding. Parents know they have to deal with stuff like that when they have children, especially girls. Just tell her you need to talk to her and sit her down and just be like "mom, i got my period for the first time, would you please buy me some tampons/pads?" it really is that easy. There is no need for it to be an awkward situation. My best friend was raised by only her father so when she got hers for the first time, she had to ask her dad to buy her products. Things could be a lot worse than having to talk to your mom. I promise, she will understand without a problem. :)

I messaged my mum "I'm having my period" at my first time. She answered "me too". :P It really isn't that hard. For adults, it's something very normal to them, it's us who are making it complicated. Just tell her indirectly and I'm sure it will turn out fine~ ;D

I know that it can feel embarassing but it really is nothing to be ashamed of. If you don't want to tell her directly, try writing a note or dropping a hint: "Hey mom, could you stop by the store and grab some 'feminine products' for me today?" Something like that. If you have an older sister, you could ask her to tell your mom for you.
As a graduate from an all girls school, I have gotten used to people yelling down the hall for tampons ^_^ Don't worry, everyone goes through this. I know I was embarrassed when I first told my mom. Just know that she loves you and you are not alone in this.
Good luck!
