Tampons go Where?

Posted by: nhutchens on Mon Jun 2, 2008
I got my first period in early 6th grade.
I was at home. I went to the bathroom and noticed very light pink stains in my pantys and on the toilet paper.
I was horrified, but knew that I needed to tell my Mom. I went into the room where she was watching television and told her. She came with me into the bathroom - and that's where it got worse. Mom had been exspecting it, and had bought slender tampons and panty liners. You do WHAT with those Tampons??? Until then I thought they were just rolled up pads! No way was I going to do that!
I was devestated and embarrised. I made her promise not to tell my dad. I tried my best to hide it from everyone.
I guess it was about a year before I admitted to anyone that I had "started".
I did end up using Tampons later that year - when it came time to go to the pool.
