Changing Pads or Tampons When You Have Your Period During School

Dear BeingGirl Experts,

How do you deal with your period, e.g., changing your pads/tampons without getting caught in school?

Sara

Dear Sara,

Your period will probably not come flowing out heavily immediately from the start. It is more likely that you will notice some dampness or wetness and excuse yourself to the restroom to find that it has begun. You should be carrying your menstrual protection in a backpack or purse, so you take that with you to the bathroom. Changing during class breaks or lunch makes the most sense. If you aren't sure when your period is due, wear an Always pantiliner daily and avoid any accidents. Also, check out the location in your school where emergency menstrual products are kept. Sometimes it is with the school nurse, the health/physical education teacher or even the school secretary.

Hope this helps,

Your BeingGirl Experts

He always comes to my house with me..soo when i get off the bus i notice my pants were red-stained..i was thinking "oh no i hope he doesnt notice!"..so i started running towards the house as fast as i could..i look behind me..hes just walking along the road..whew i was safe:)..i finally reached my house, i opened the door, and made a beeline for the bathroom. Yep i was right my pants were soaked!! that was the most embarrasing day of my life!!:)

One time, in class i was my friend took my extra pad out of my bag, and showed it too my crush! : O i was sitting right across from him then, and the rest of the day was SO awkward.... I forgave her of course, and I think he kinda forgot about it, so its all good :) but was still scary

Well at my school we have 4 minutes to change classes and my classes are all on the other side of the school each time on a different side. I am normally never late to class! When Im on my period I am always late but my teachers all get it cuz their is always a few of us late for that very same reason :P But if you are late its for a good reason! And don't be embarrassed to tell any body! I was going to art and apparently I didn't zip up my bookbag and you could see my pads! We have a male teacher in art but I mean I don't care if everybody knows every girl goes through it so yup! and BTW I am 12 and In 7th grade :P

Guys at my schools always go through kids backpacks, so I can't keep pads in there. Instead, I either ask a friend or my school nurse for one.
