How can I deal with period's at school...only just started and going to have my second one when I go back to school....I'm scared the girls will hear me rip open the packet for the pad and laugh,and the teachers lock the toilets between lessons,so when should I change it? Please help xx
How strange your toilet policies are! Chances are if you just got your period, it most likely won't return by next month exactly on time. Most girls I know including myself were late by more than a month after their first period... patterns are never regular within the first year or so. Girls laughing at you for opening a pad would be very immature since all girls eventually go through it. If it really bugs you, just have the packaging open earlier (although it may not be entirely sanitary, you don't have to deal with the sound.) Hope this helps!
