How to tell my DAD that I started having my period?
I live alone with my dad and have since I was a baby. My mom died in a freak accident of sorts and so it's just been me and my dad all of these years. We get along great! The problem is that I started to have my period and I am going to need some pads (my friend gave me a few of hers to get me by for a couple of days). I know I should tell my dad so that he knows about it but I don't know what to say to him that isn't embarrassing for us both. How do I tell my single-father that I've started having periods?

if it makes it easier u could speak to one of your dads lady friend or any lady reletives and ask them to tell your dad.

I am sorry about your mom.
But sooner or later you are going to need pads. so tell your father. He is your father he knows that this would happen one day and that you period will come. so if you asked me, i think he is already prepared and is just waiting for you to ask

i found you the following on [Link](Mouse over link to see full location):
You'll be happy to hear that we have received similar questions from dads who are nervous about talking to their daughters! Chances are your dad knows that you might have questions and concerns about body changes. As for how to start the conversation, the first step is finding a good time. If you have brothers and sisters, you might want to find a few minutes when you can talk to your dad alone. It might be as simple as saying, "Dad, I need to buy some supplies at the store because I might get my period soon."
You both might be a little embarrassed, but also relieved because you will have raised the topic finally. It should get easier from there. For instance, your supplies will become just regular items on the shopping list. You also might suggest that your dad buy you a book about puberty. You also can find these at the library. Funny as it might sound, dads do know what periods are! But if you have questions you'd rather ask a girl, consider talking to girls or women you are close to, such as an aunt, grandmother, or older cousin.
Hope i helped :)

oh i remember when i started my period ....i had my mom to talk to but it was still embarrassing i was the only girl out of 5 kids ....well anyways you and your are close and i know its hard to tell your dad that his little girl is growing up and it (im guessing) the last thing he wants to hear ...but he also know its going to happen ...so you have to be brave and sit your dad down and just say "dad i need to talk to you ...and i know this isnt a coversation neither one of us want to have but we have to"......and then just come out and tell him it might seem hard to do but it really ok he knows it going to happen and i bet he is ready for that conversation to happen and be done with ......but he will understand its not easy for you to come to him about it but he will be glad you did ....and if he dont want to go get you pads its ok guys arent really into doing that lol have a friend go with you
