ok, there is a guide thing in the packet that you will get and it will explain everything perfectly. i suggest getting the multipack with all of the sizes.
and just ask your mom to get some, it will be akward but then you will notice that she won’t make a big deal about it…
no, if you don’t do it right then it will feel weird and you should take it out.
but if you do it right, you won’t even be able to feel them.
Okay. Thanks. Um….I they famous for leaking?
no.
they won’t normally leak unless you wear it too long. and if they leak it will only be noticable to you.
you have to match the size with your flow, which is easy, and there will be no leaking.
how do you match it though. Is it just a matter of trying the different kinds?
no.
you know how your period and your flow is.
like, on the first day or two- lights/mediums
in the middle- mediums/large (for the heavier to heaviest flow)
and on the last few days- mediums/lights
after your first few periods of wearing them, you will know exactly
Oh okay. Wow that is easy then. Um….do they take a long time to get used to?
they didn’t for me.
they will be weird at first, but after the first day or two you will pretty much forget it’s even there.
and don’t worry about them so much, they are made into a bigger deal then they actually are.
Okay. Thanks for the reasurrance. It means a lot cause Like I am really nervous because of all the things I hear about them. But Yeah I will try to ask my mom about them. THat is going to be the hard part I think. I hope she says I can use them.
i promise that they are wayyyy better than pads.
and just casually ask, mom, may i get some tampons since im gonig to that pool party on friday? its simple!
and i hope she lets you use them too.
Yeah me too. But like my mom is so old fashioned that I dont know if she will “approve” of them you know. But I can be pretty convincing sometimes. Others not so much. But it is pretty hard to change her mind. But I will talk to her and find out what she says.
Do you know what you do if your maxipad catches on fire?
