Ditto to tampons...
The very first time I had my period I was away at summer camp. I was too embarassed to ask the camp nurse for a pad. My girlfriend who had already started brought tampons along with her and gave me one.
I was terrified! But more terrified of humilating myself infront of the camp nurse so... I just kind of "winged it".
After I returned home I tried pads... once. UCK ... I guess I got spoiled by the freedom you have with tampons.
Now... after 3 kids and the mid-life hormonal rollercoaster... my periods can get pretty crazy. i wear tampons with a backup panty liner. nothing worse than an unexpected leak.
