Girls one and only please!!?

ok i am almost 12 and i am REALLY scared almost having my time of year. i havent had it but. i am scared wut mite come up.does it hurt??are pads humiliated?i dont wanna wear tampons cuz it seems abnormal...HELP!!... Relax, it's really not that bad! Sure it hurts a short time, you will experience cramping in your tummy and sometimes your vagina will be sore. But it's nothing to be terrified of. The first time is a little chance, but just purloin some ibuprofen and relax!
Pads aren't that bad, but seriously, I used pad for YEARS until I discovered the blessing that is tampons. I know it seem weird to use them, but if you use them correctly they are wonderful!! You never verbs about your wipe being discomfited... and it is a little gross to enjoy the pad near your blood on it sitting against you. Just practice with the tampons and you'll achieve the hang of it. You'll know you enjoy it right when you can't feel the tampon, but you can still see the string flaccid out. And don't ever leave it surrounded by for more than the recommended amount of time (about 6 hours).
relax, it will be ok
