Subject: Uh-oh.....

Hi everyone. Well...guess what happened on friday...I got my first period...waaa...I don't want it!!!!!!!! Especiall in the summer time!!!!!!! Today I HAVE to go to the pool, cuz I babysit 2 little kids at the pool while the mother does Water Aerobics for 2 hours. I'm scared. I don't want to use a tampon! Just the thought of them...yuck! What should I do? Should I just leave the kids in the baby pool, and sit there and watch them? Luckely they are old enough to still ENJOY the baby pool. hehe. Also, I was wondering. How much weight will I gain from this? I don't like it!! I hate the craps...arghh... Thanks for listening! bye!

~*Katie*~

ps- I posted here, cuz there isn't as many Men on here then there is on FWL.

Well,,,,,

14 is old to have your first isn't it??? LOL I had mine when I was 11.... hmmm.... NE ways....

You'll bloot a bit meaning you'll FEEL fatter... but it all water retention and will go away in a few days along with your period....

I used to feel the same way about tampons..... I used to use the expression that I didn't want to "have sex with a piece of cotton" but when I had to go swimming in PE and the Gym teacher didn't take "i'm on the rag" for an excuse,,, And faild me.... So I learned quickly to use those tampons... the first time I used a tampon I was 15 and had been useing pads for quite some time.... let me tell you TAMPONS are a RELIEF!!!!! its harder to have mishaps,,,,, and a thousand times more comfortable then pads plus they arn't smelly... and alot easier to dispose of... no more worring about who will see them in the bathroom trash can.... because all you throw in the can is the applicator.... which when you put it back in the wrapper and then wrap a snitpi of toilet paper around it no one will ever know.... since I started useing tampons I have had alot less ruined undies,,,, alot more confort... and alot more fun not having to worry if my pad will hold up and being able to swim.....

My advice to you is USE THE TAMPONS.... when I first thought to wear them My worries were... "what if it gets lost or the string breaks... don't worry it never does..."

hope everything works out for you... try some Mydol for teens if you get the cramps bad... it will take it away lickity split!!! good luck girl...

semper fi,
Ivy

Be thankful, I got mine at 9. It's really nothing but a hassle we have to live with. I started out with pads because that's what my mom always used, but after a year or so I tried tampons and after a few fumbled attempts, got the hang of it. Wouldn't use anything else now, they're great! Be prepared to be grumpy ( and weepy) and to gain a few pounds around your period, don't worry it's just water and will come off in a few days. Good luck and welcome to the club:)
