Answer 1

im guessing this is your first period other wise you wouldnt be posting..... get a pad , some aleve(if needed) , and just enjoy congrats your a woman

Answer 2

Hey, congrats!  As for tips/advice: you should check your pad/tampon often until you have an idea of how heavy your flow is and how often you need to change it.  This may vary alot from day to day and from month to month at first, and your period may not be completely regular for a while.

If you do have an 'accident' and get blood on your pants or underwear, remember that hot water will set the stain.  You also might not want to wear your favorite underwear while you have your period.

If you have cramps, take an ibuprofen pain reliever like advil or motrin.  You can also put a hot water bottle on your tummy or have some herbal tea.  It shouldn't hurt much, so don't be worried.

What else?  Just try not to feel freaked out or self-conscious.  Getting your period is something almost every woman in the world goes through.  After a while, it won't be a big deal to you at all.

Answer 3

Oh well... there are great things to preiods and bad things. The great things are that if you have a swimming class and you don't like it very much your excuse could be "I'm on my period and I only use pad." You can get away with alot of stuff like that. The bad things are the symptoms like back aches cramps sore breasst (only if you have them)...etc but yea, pareiods are just a way to know that your beginning to become a women from a girl. :)
