First Period Experience
Where were you when your first period started? How old were you? Did you talk to your mom, friends? What was your initial reaction? Retrospectively, could it have been different or more positive experience, and, if so, how?

My First Period (age 15!)

Posted by: JessicaF on Tue Jan 1, 2008

I was with my cousin and mom and brothers returning from the grocery store. I was 15 years old, and I was SO GLAD that I had finally started my period after years of waiting. It was the 4th of July 1989 and my cousin and my family was preparing to go see fireworks in another town. I had never told my cousin that I didn't have a period already so when I saw the blood while changing, I was so happy but I said to her, "I just started my period. Do you think I need to change my pants?' She was like, "No, that's not much, you can't see anything." And I used a tampon right away, I didn't start out with pads.
I don't think it could've been a more positive experience. I still feel good about it when I remember it.
