Period Talk: How Can I Talk to My Mom?

Dear BeingGirl Experts,

I have trouble talking and telling my mom when I start my period and need pads. Can you help?

Dear Alexa,

I’ve always thought telling your mom face-to-face is the way to tell her. Casually say "Mom...I got my period. Isn't that great?" Some girls find this difficult so if you can't tell her face-to-face, try writing her a note and leaving it in a place only she will find it or text her. Another way is when you can go shopping with her—casually toss a box of your favorite menstrual protection into the cart. Finally, you can just let her see your soiled panties. She'll get the message.

I do know you will be pleased you have let mom know. Your mom can be a big help when it comes to having periods. She remembers what starting your period is like and will want to be a part of this with you.

Good luck,

Your BeingGirl Experts

I havent really gotten mine. Thats some good advice though. I thought about when it comes like pretending to like know something down while shes close to the bathroom and take one of the shelf that she keeps for me.

@volleyball01, i havent started my period yet either, but i asked her the questions about it in a note or face-to-face. i found that the easiest way for me to talk to my mom about period siguations or anything personal, email her. even if u dont want her to talk to u after that face-to-face tell her to email u back. hope this helps! :)
