I wear larger pads and they seem to work well. and if u change your pad every 4 hours, everything will be fine. dont worry, i sit next to guys all the time and they are too stupid to notice anything is wrong. trust me, im a pro at this now :) [ jellybean090's advice column | Ask jellybean090 A Question ]

As someone old enough to be your grandfather and being male I can't really offer advice on your immediate problem. What I am going to offer is where to go to find the best advice for this problem and other problems of this type.
I'm sure you have heard what I'm about to say from your own parents or grandparents; none of us were born parents or grandparents. At sometime in our lives we were once you age and have gone through just about everything you are facing and will face. When it comes to the different changes your body is going through your best source of information is your mom.
Trust me your mom went through this, she had all the questions you have and are going to have and she has the answer. If something is happening that is not suppose to she will know it and know what to do about it. There is no reason to be embarrassed about any of the changes puberty is bringing about; it is a normal part of life.
As I said this is a normal part of life; trust mom to have the answers to your questions, the right answers. If for some reason it is not possible to have a private conversation with mom at home as her if just the two of you can go for a ride or a walk someplace where you can have a girl type talk. Mom will understand. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
