I just got my first period...?

so today I got my first period and I'm useing pads, when would be a good time to switch to tampons? Any advice in general?
I still have not told my mom I will when I see her Sunday I just don't the best relationship so its kinda hard to tell her stuff...

like that...

omg
I feel the same way
me and my mom do not have such a strong relationship either
and I never told my mom I got my peroid
so really I think the right thing to do is tell her
but I understand how you would be scared?
and it depends on how old you are
how old are you
using tampons is really for swimming and such

no it's not. using tampons is for whenever youget your period, not just swimming. and I think they are SO much better, no worryin about leaks, or anything like that, so much cleaner too.
you can switch whenever you want. you just have to tell her, she knows you are going to get it, and so you might as well tell her now. it's SO awkward, but if you're cool about it when you tell her she'll be cool about it to. just say
'hey mom, I started my period, and I hate pads, I'd rather use tampons will you take me to get some?'
(Playtex Sport, is the best btw.)

I ad my period 2 yeers afore I started using tampons they are a bit uncomfortable at first but then they are ok

you should tell yo mom fast im sure shel be very happy... and its good you knew what ti to...but tampons hurt!! but get used to the pads for a wile before you switch to tampons atleast a year.and when you do make sure you use the smallest 1...and tampons are better after you start haveing sex cus its not so tight dwn there!!! but dont rush into any of that!!!lol
