Young ladiies and menstruation

[Guest guest]

My girlfriend here attended a presentation on hygeine and came away with this little gem....

Make the girls a file folder to carry in to the restroom at school. In side the file folder is envelope containing the pad and on the other side pecs showing directions for use. :-) I thought this was a kewl learning tool and also a help for those who have a difficult time remembering.

The presenter also said we should start letting out little girls wear pads or panty liners early so they get used to the feel.

Just a cautionary tale (sorry guys on the list) be very very careful to never allow the pad to fold over at one end and inadvertantly catch some hair (when they have some) on the sticky part of the pad or you may be nursing a fractured nose for some time to come and your daughter may never ever trust THE PAD again.

You guys are making me SO GLAD I have a BOY!!!

HAHAHAHA!

My 'lifes most embarrassing moment' (I cant' believe I'm going to share this) was when one of those 'light days' adhesive panty liners exited my shorts as I was running down the street, trying to outrun a boy I HAD A CRUSH ON who was chasing me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Days later it was still in the street...I would have NEVER picked it up...mortification at it's best!

Young ladiies and menstruation

Now why did I think this would possibly be easy??? LOL

Oh my gosh, who knew these things could go wrong.

Losing a pad would be nothing short of horrifying.... bikers shorts during that time?? Don't they made the old belt type anymore? That would prevent the hair issue and geez, you are are so right about that Sherry!!! OUCH....

Would be ok if no one panicked and gave you time to grab the scissors, but somehow calm never seems to rule at such times.

Toxic shock happens when you wear the same tampon for an entire day...as long as you 'know' it's being changed that's not such a worry...and also teach to pull the string to test it first isn't a bad idea...you can still swim with a tampon!

(but not with sharks)

well then you'd have to worry about toxic shock syndrome, or the string breaking off, or forgetting it's in there or infections. Either way you go it's not fun.

And ya ,right to the boys... I would much rather deal with a little mess then the male sex drive during those teen years. ;-)

I wonder if teens in health class are as rowdy group as we are???
