She might be scared that you could get toxic shock syndrome from using the tampons, which "is a rare but potentially fatal disease caused by a bacterial toxin," often occuring from tampon use during menstruation. But this is so rare, and the incidence rate is so low nowadays, that it is ok to use tampons.

O.K. you can be a C cup because it also goes by the size of your back. The same thing happened to me I did not know that I was a C cup until I went to Victoria Secrets and found out. This is what they told me when I got measured. The best thing that I can tell you is go to your nearest Vicky's and they will measure you for free right then and there. These people that work there are really nice and when it is time for my daughter to be in your shoes for her first bra I will take her there. So just ask your mom to take you or you can go with your friends. I hope that I have helped you.

Ok, so you have used a pleasure toy, is that it? No, your mom won't be able to tell. \n\nBut maybe try the tampon yourself - with the easy applicators most come with, you can probably figure it out yourself without your mom's help.

Why don't you want to tell your mom???  It's not a bad thing, hon.  But I guess you just need to tell her that that is what you want to do...it's not like you are asking her to buy you cigarettes and a case of beer!\n\nJust ask.  Or...show her your question on here that you wrote.  She will see that it is something that you really want/need to do.  Plus, you aren't going to get a close shave with those trimmers.  Does she use razors?  My guess is she does.  You are a female and deserve to begin using feminine hygiene products.  Just ask her.  Good luck sweetie!

my guess would be to avoid tampon use

Your mom would want you to just tell her exactly what you typed here.  You should talk to your doctor about this if it is bothering you, there may be alternatives.  Your mother has seen and done so much when it comes to something like this...surely don't be embarrassed.

stress and diet and genes effect your period. my mom was never regular, neither am I...my weight has also been fluctuating AND im under a lot of stress so all those can contribute. if you are concerned talk to your ob/gyn about getting on birth control to regulate it :)

Only one rule: Wear a tampon and change it when necessary.  Otherwise, you can do what you want and don't be embarrassed if you are a little bloated because you are menstral and its all only natural and out of our control

The best person to ask would be your mom but ultimately it is a choice only you can make.  Try both and decide.  I promise you that 50% will say pads and 50% will say tampons.  Your mom is your best advocate on that one.

It's not your mother's business as to what you wore.  If you were comfortable and it was impossible for anyone else to see or know about it, that should have been good enough.  Besides, it was really impolite of your mother just to walk in on you as you were changing. Nobody knows how to knock any more.

I would not go so far to say that she does not like anything about you.  She just wants the best for you even if it is just the way you dress.  My mom was the same way when i was a kid (not that long ago, i am only 25) and i wanted docs also.  I wore ripped up jeans that were baggy, long tee shirts, flannel shirts and boots. (the pearl jam grunge years) and my mom wanted me to wear cute skirts and dress more fashionable.  It is true that parents just don't understand, but they do love you.  As long as you are a teen living in her house you will but heads about your clothing, friends, music and everything else.  If you don't get anything from this answer i hope you get this.... The minute you move out of the house to college (you better go to college) you will miss your mom so much and she will be your best friend.  You will look back at your teen years and laugh about how you dressed and what you guys argued about.  All parents hate the way their kids dress and it is because they are parents and that is what they are supposed to do.  Don't take your mom's criticism so seriously and just do your own thing (when it comes to clothes). This will change as you get older.  When you are a teen, no one understands you, you don't even understand you and that is perfectly NORMAL (or what ever that is)  Just let it roll off your back and be yourself.  It is good that you don't want to be like everyone else, it shows that you are an independent thinker that doesn't follow the crowd.  The teen years are rough but just be happy that your clothing is all you have to worry about with your mom.  Trust me, so many kids have it much worse.  Your mom needs to understand that your clothing is not a reflection on her, but an expression of who you are and what you represent.  She may be scared that you are trying to represent that you are a druggie (i hope you are not) but sometimes that is parents fears.  You just have to be open with your mom and try to talk to her objectivly about what you wear and what you are doing and let her know that she should be thankful that you are only dressing like a druggie, heheheh, and not one.  I am a mom myself to a 9 month old little boy and i love dressing him like a preppy little man and dread the day when he says he hates the clothes i pick for him and he wants a pair of docs (even though docs are cool) because he will be showing how grown up he is and he is not my little boy anymore.  That is probably how your mom feels to.  Hang in there for a few more years and you will be suprised how different your relationship will be.

Normal, but tampons may be more convenient. Since you're so young, try O.B. tampons. They're smaller than other brands. You can also talk to your doctor. I know it seems embarrassing, but believe me, your doctor would think nothing of it.

You need to go to the doctor STAT! You can develop toxic shock syndrome, which can be fatal. This happens when tampons are inside of you for too long.

I assume it has to do with your thyroid gland.  I'm sure your parents are relived not to be changing your diapers for the rest of your life.

First, thank you for answering my quest, this is vikkiflanary, is 40 too young for menopause.  I am too nervous to get a pg test, too many neg results over the years.  havent had period now since 11-29, i will give another month and get a test, no hot flashes, not cramps, nothing.  like it just stopped.,  NOW, onto your question:  be thankful your parents still want to be involved, but set guidelines as to what they can be involved in and what areas you would prefer to keep private.  as long as you give a little info and keep them involved in some areas, they should respect your privacy points.  They should be happy that they are involved.  My mom is my best friend, but she does not know everything about my life, just what i tell her.  we have a great relationship.  Hope this helps.  and thank you again for your response to mine.

You can sleep with a tampon. Just make sure you put a new one in before you go to sleep and make sure that it's right for your flow, meaning that if you bleed heavy, make sure it's going to hold it all. I don't mean to sound gross, but sometimes you need a maximum strength one to make sure you don't leak while you are sleeping.

ok well if you are having any blood from your vagina rather it be lite or kind of heavy yes its your period and you should just tell her you need to talk to her alone. and just tell her there is nothing to be embarrassed about.i know it can be alittle scary sence its new and all but the best person you can talk to is your mom.and there is nothing embarrassing about becoming a  woman
