Answer 1

you will just have to go to the bathroom.

and take a little plastic bag to put your used pad in if they dont have the proper bins

get super absorbant pads,

  unfortunately we all have to go through this at some point so its best just to get on with it.

Answer 2

Just wear a tampon! You will be fine. Aunt Flo is going to be around for some years to come, so you better find a way to deal, and tampons will become your best friend. Just change it every 4 to 5 hours at least, depending on how heavy your flo is.

Answer 3

Welcome to the menstrual cycle. They suck. They're no fun for anyone. If it makes you feel better, I got mine at 9 :(.

Tampons, shouldn't be uncomfortable if they're put in properly. They make teen slim versions of them.

Pads, are only sticky on the bottom to stay on your panties. They probably won't leak. Your teachers should let you use the bathroom to change your pad. You should pull one aside and talk to them about it, especially a female teacher.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Gosh, I'm really sorry. That's quite a tough situation to be in. I think you should try wearing maybe two pads at once. Like just stick one ontop of the other. It will be uncomfortable and annoying but it will give you extra protection against leaks. If you don't want to do that, then try wearing an overnight pad, during the day. They are thicker and longer than regular pads and they are designed to keep you protected while you're moving around or even laying down. Good luck, girl!
