We can only go to the bathroom once a day at school and when my flow is heavy I have to change my pad twice during school. What should I do?? And, where should I keep my pads without anyone finding them?They won't really fit in my pockets. Please help me-thank you so much.

Answer 2

ur school shouldnt do tht

Answer 3

That is actually illegal. So if this is actually true, I'm sorry, but you need to deal with it. You need to change your pad? Go change your pad. And who cares if someone finds them? They're just pads. Not the end of the world. Put them in your bookbag, or purse.  

Answer 4

first of all use the branded one & large one then there will no need to change

Answer 5

I know how awkward it is to have a heavy period and only being allowed to use the bathroom once a day.  I got around it quite a bit by quietly telling the teacher that it was that time of the month, and I needed to go take care of things.  They immediately understood, except a few, who I then told that they'd have to clean up the mess then.  They let you go after that.  

As to where to keep them, you can get a slightly larger coin purse type of bag to store them in, and keep them in your backpack or locker or purse without them being easily seen.

Good luck, and I won't wish you a happy period, as most women aren't happy during theirs.  I hope this helps.

What kind of school do you go to that only let you go to the bathroom once a day?!! To be honest you HAVE to go to your teacher and explain her situation to you, if they don't understand then they CAN'T stop you from going to the bathroom. My mom, grandmother, and dad always told me if you have to go and they tell you no then just walk out. You also need to invest in purse and keep it by you at all times, and take that to the bathroom with you.

Answer 7

Carry a purse with pads in it. If you can not carry a purse, dont be shy, every girl has their peirod one point or another. I would change it before you go to lunch, and before you get on the bus to go home. And the school you go to sounds like a load of $*it. Because they expect kids not to go to the bathroom but once in what 7-8 hours? I would say something to your parents, and maybe they can bring up that issue at the next PTA meeting.

Answer 8

Keep your pads in a purse. If you need to change your pad more than once per day, tell your teacher (if a girl) that you have girl business to do, and she will understand. If your teacher is a boy, talk to the nurse, which is usually a girl. She will understand and give you some tips, and she may say something like: During passing period. Or, during recess (if applicable). Or at lunch, or that time when everybody is going to lunch, make a bathroom run REALLY quick.

Answer 9

I had the same problem but I worked out stuff with my teachers saying i had to go to the bathroom REALLY bad, so they couldn't tell me anything.

I don't like using purses but I have no choice to when it comes to that.

Answer 10

same as the other people, what kind of school do you go to? for my school, it's that you can only go to the bathroom once each class(about 55 min)

just tell your teacher you have your period(unless it a male teacher, then say it's woman problems) and keep your pads in your backpack, and then bring it out and put it in the waist band of your pants, so it won't fall(only if you don't have pockets big enough.

Answer 11

Once a day? That is inhumane, what if you aren't feeling well. Honestly, I would have parents complain, that just isn't right. Sometimes a lady needs to suddenly run to the restroom, accidents can't be helped sometimes.

If you were already into using tampons I'd say use one WITH a pad too. Then change the tampon (and pad if necessary) with the one bathroom break. This way the tampon would hold it back for a while and the pad is backup when/if the tampon starts to leak.

You have my sympathy... get adults to complain about that! If there is an emergency don't be afraid to tell the teacher that you *need* to run to the bathroom for personal resons.

Answer 12

Can you go during lunch? Start carrying a purse :-)

Answer 13

If you tell your teacher your on your period they cannot keep you from going to the bathroom. also if you need to buy your self a little extra time try using a tampon for a heavy flow along with your pads. tampons are a lot easier to keep from being seen if your worried about other people noticing. They have certain brands that are made to be discrete. However its nothing to be a shamed of you should worry about what other people see, all girls have to deal with it and the guys get use to it.

Answer 14

Just change during lunch or any chance that you get.Tell your teacher you need to go to the nurse a.s.a.p

If i need to change and the teacher doesnt let me i dont tell them i just walk out im not gonna let it seek through and have everyone laugh at me

Answer 15

you should ask your mom if she can write you a note that says you need to change your pad because it gets heavy and stuff or you could just tell your teacher...is your teacher a girl...then she will shuley understand...by the way you can bring a puse with and put your pads in there or you can put them in your  shoe if you are that worried or a pencil case woks also...and no one will ever no! good luck

and you talk to your teacher about the bathroom stuff

ps if that does not work talkto your school nurse or even the princable
