I haven't had my period yet and im almost 13. Am i a late bloomer? I so, is that bad? And please answer these questions along with any other perioud advice. (I know some of these questions are stupid but please be serious)Do you only wear pads/tampons on the day that you usually get your period?How do you know when you are going to get your first period? Like could it come out and leak out of your pants and cause embarrassment?I don't think I would want to wear tampons are they sore? Sre pads better because I would feel more comfortable with them?Please help Im kind of worried =[[[

I started my period at 14. It can take up to 19. If it hasn't started by then you do need to see a doctor.Wear what makes you comfortable. You'll need to wear a pad or tampons every day of your period until the flow stops. Tampons, change them every 4 to 6 hours, depending on the flow. Pads should be changed after going to the toilet because the exposure to air can cause odor.From now on wear a panty shield daily. If you feel wetness, you can go check in the restroom. That way you won't have embarassing"accidents."Carry a pad in your purse.

1. Don't worry if you haven't had your period yet. Everyone's body is on a different schedule!2. You will wear pads or tampons for the duration of your period. Some lucky women will have a period that lasts only three days. Others will have it for as long as seven.3. Unfortunately, you will be surprised by your first period. After a while, you will start noticing the signs that it is coming. You might feel cramping a couple of days before. Keep track on the calendar and notice how many days apart they come. When you know it is coming, wear a panyliner just in case. That way you won't have an accident.4. Tampons are difficult to put in when you are young. You may want to wait a few years for those. If you decide to use them, be assured that they don't hurt! If you put them in correctly you don't even feel them. It's a good idea to use a pantyliner with a tampon to prevent leaks.I hope this helps. Good luck!

You are so not a late bloomer...chill it will come eventuallyyou wear them when you get it and keep wearing them till it goes(it will come back in a month) Keep pads or tampons with you, even when your not expecting it. Tampons are good if your sporty but pads are also comfy. Dont worry if once you get your period you sometimes miss out on your it every now and then it happens to everyone.When your about to get your period you can feel tired and get cramp in your back and in you tummy. NO....it cant come out and leak through your trousers, just make sure you use a pad or tampon as soon as you discover some blood on your pants.Tampons do NOT hurt so dont worry. But make sure you just dont wear on when your not having your period. Pads are also comfertable so any is fine....it's totaly up to you.Dont worry too much everything will be fine.
