Dear BeingGirl Experts,

OK—first of all I really hate my period!!! I feel so uncomfortable going out when I have it. It doesn't flow super-heavy, but it still feels weird! And my question is, is there any way of getting rid of your period? For example removing your eggs? I ask this because I want my period to end because it's in the way of all my activities! Please answer back with the honest response! Thank you!

Jasmin

Dear Jasmin,

Your period is an indicator that you are healthy, and that you are maturing into a woman. Like you, there are times when most females wish they didn’t have to deal with their period.

You don’t have to get rid of your period to participate in activities. If you use pads, you might try the Always Infinity pad. These pads are so flexible you can comfortably participate in all your activities, other than swimming, even when you have your period.

Tampons are another choice of menstrual protection. Wearing tampons will enable you to participate in all activities, even swimming, and make movement more comfortable. You might want to try Tampax Pearl Tampons when you are having your period for comfortable protection. www.beinggirl.com/en_US/yourperiod_inserttampon.jsp is a page with links to info on tampons and tampon insertion including a video you may find helpful.

Good luck,

Your BeingGirl Experts
