Soo…I started my first period recently. I know many people hate their periods, but my mom helped me see it in a different way. Periods are a true blessing, even though uncomfortable. After all, you can’t have babies without them! And it shows that you are a true woman. It also shows that you are responsible enough to keep yourself clean during your period. It shows that you are mature. READ MORE… »

I got my First Period in May of 2009 when I was 11, now I’m 15. I got up & got dressed, I remember I was wearing purple capris with sneakers & a white shirt, I also had my hair pulled back. I remember I had to pee so I went to the bathroom, when I looked at my underwear they had pink stuff on it. I remember getting a little freaked out even though my mom had told me about periods. I got out & was like, “mom we gotta get me pads.” She was like, “pads? for what?” Then i said, “mom i have my period,” she started to cry i mean CRY! I was like ” -.- really mom really?” lol I stayed home from school that whole week cuz I go for a WEEK on my period. READ MORE… »

So hi, I haven’t gotten my first period yet and I’m 12, but this is how I imagine it…

I’m at home just waking up at 7am like normal, and I go to the bathroom (as usual when I wake up) and I’m about to wipe myself, but I see some red ucky stuff on my panties. I already know about periods. So I start panicking because I think it is my FIRST PERIOD!!!!!! I get excited and get my panties off and quickly get to my room while my parents are asleep. I get new panties and a pantyliner. Put it on and get dressed for school. READ MORE… »

I was going to class and had to go to the bathroom. So I went and found brown, wet, clumpy stuff in my panties. When I got home it was still there. So I put on a liner. I told my mom and she said that that was my period. Then it was scary but I got used to it. The only really bad part about it was it happens right before my first select volleyball practice.

My first period happened in the eighth grade. Age 14. I was a late bloomer, I guess you could say. I was a gymnast, cheerleader, and ran track; very athletic. I never had the talk with my mother. So when it came, I had no idea what to do. I was wearing shorts and I seen red on my legs. So I went to the bathroom casually. And tons of blood gushed out. I wadded toilet paper up, and put it in my underwear. READ MORE… »

Ok, so my first period started on July 3rd of 2012! My family goes so Torch Lake with a bunch of family and friends for the 4th of July. I remember walking back to the house from the sand bar because i had to pee REALLY bad. So when i got to the house and went to the bathroom i saw blood gushing out of me!!!!! I was FREAKING out because i was only 11, and LOVED swimming and tubing in the lake. So i sat there and cried (nobody was home) and i would NOT use a tampon!!!!!! So then i rememberd i packed a pad ( just in case) so i just wore that and i was fine. Untill i had to take a shower……i only brang 1 pad, soooooo i was thinking stupid and put my used pad in a drawer untill i got out of the shower. So when i got out i wraped myself in my towel and thought if i went real quick to go grab my underware nobody would see my pad. READ MORE… »

I started my period during a morning before school. I woke up to get dressed for school, went to the bathroom, and there was blood all over my clothes. So I hollered to my mom, luckily she had some thin panty liners. I wore them for the first time. The second time I switched to bigger ones. I did end up going to school. READ MORE… »

I got my first period when I was 9. I blame drinking hormone filled cows milk as a child. That day I had a friend sleeping over and I woke and went to the bathroom to find that my undies and pajamas and legs were covered. It looked like I had a murder in my pants. So I sat there screaming with the door locked and I wouldnt let anyone in. I knew where my mom kept her pads but they were far too large for me. Hers were 14 inches long and 2 inches thick. My friend called for my mom who went to the store to pick up some appropriate supplies. After that we had hot cocoa, ice cream, and made cookies so we could eat the cookie dough. I felt really awful that day, READ MORE… »
