That chick juuuuust so happened to get her period right at the beginning of summer and brought a big carton of pads to the bungalo. She told me that if i got my period, I was welcome to the pads. and I was like "noooooooo thank you not gonna happen." <BR/><BR/>...i got my period a month later. <BR/><BR/>and i think it took me several years to become actually proficient at handling overflow, staining, and all that great jazz. Oh and not having to wake up to a random stain on the sheets cause i friggin wanted to sleep in a comfortable position. <BR/><BR/>oh, oh! This august I'll be celebrating 10 years since my first period. ...goodie.Tatyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10507302176348930523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553748830358173771.post-78714896482133541592008-04-24T23:23:00.000-05:002008-04-24T23:23:00.000-05:00When I got my period my mother ran around the hous...When I got my period my mother ran around the house yelling "She's a Woooman now" and of course made phone calls to the entire family and some friends and a dinner to celebrate. I think I was scarred for life. She also attempted to tell me that tampons would give me tss and I shouldn't use them - but alas with some sports they are required and I found them!P.

I had no mom and no one had explained it to me so I was in the bathroom screaming for someone to bring me a bandaid because I had cut myself.

Why oh why don't you still live in Portland???<BR/><BR/>I got my first period when I was 10. Yep, that's right. And in the fifth grade. My stomach had been hurting strangely all day, and then the rust in my underpants made me understand. I didn't know quite what to do, but I tried to summon a reaction like what was described in the seminal girl's help book, "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." Which was laughing and crying simultaneously. My teenaged aunt (I was at my grandma's house) thought I was just spazzing out, but grudgingly gave me one of her pads anyway. My mom, returning from work, had a grimmer reaction. She recognized it for what it was: seasons of pain and complication.<BR/><BR/>Have I told you that I dealt with infertility? It took IVF for us to conceive our first son. I have some knowledge of endo from friends who've gone through it, and have a book recommendation for you. It's an awful thing to have, and I'm so sorry. It's a good thing you're so kickass tough, doll.<BR/><BR/>xox<BR/>Di<BR/><BR/>P.S.

Sixth grade is enough of a pain in the ass - you don't need a teacher telling you the way your body is growing is unacceptable.<BR/><BR/>I was fourteen, on a family roadtrip back from Ohio. I started figuring it out in a porta-potty (gross) in the middle of nowhere. For some reason I looked down into the, well, crap and stuff, and there was a polaroid with a naked young girl sitting on a naked man's lap, terribleness floating in a sea of excrement. I hated my first period and everything associated with it.<BR/><BR/>Now I need to read something else to cheer me up. :`(<BR/><BR/>BTW reusable pads ARE awesome.

Its an extra absorbant one, with snaps that help hold it on. It feels a lot more comfortable than the disposable kind. And I've actually gotten diaper rash from the paper kind. It was HORRIBLE. Now I know how my daughter feels when I don't jump up and change her diaper immedietely. But I still can't bring myself to make the switch entirely to cloth. Maybe some day.Tia Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055062627149820244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553748830358173771.post-9227244928421304232008-04-24T15:59:00.000-05:002008-04-24T15:59:00.000-05:00Great blog article!

The yucky smell only happens with the disposables. <BR/><BR/>The day I had my first period, my mom announced at the dinner table that "Jen is a woman now." My Dad almost choked while I almost died. Then mom gave me her super ultra tampons.

The best part about it for me was no more yeast infections. I used to get them every 2 to 3 months, now they are gone.<BR/><BR/>When I had my first period, I cried! I knew all about it and wasn't scared, I just felt the impending doom of a lifetime of periods.
