What is a period????

When will my first period come?? Since you first heard the word "period," you've probably been wondering what it is and when you'd get your first period. Although most girls get their first period between 11-14 years old, you could start your period anywhere from 8-17 years old.You could narrow that down by taking clues from your body. During puberty, when your body becomes sexually mature, you'll have some of these changes that show your period's on its way. (By the way, these changes may happen in a different order than listed here.)Developing Breasts. First, you'll get breast "buds". (Your breasts then can take up to 3-4 years to fully develop.) Generally you will get your period 2-3 years after your breasts start developing. Growing Pubic Hair. Right after your breasts start to form, you'll start developing pubic hair. It will be soft and thin at first, then gradually become coarser. Your period usually arrives around 1-2 years after the hair development. Discharge. This is the big sign. You'll start to experience vaginal discharge that will be either white or yellowish. If you like, you may want to start using Alldays Pantiliners to protect you underwear. You period should start around 6-12 (but up to 18) months after the start of discharge. There's one more way to figure out when you'll start menstruating: Ask your mom. You'll probably get your period within a year or so of when she got hers.Since you'll only have a general idea of when you'll get your period, you might want to do some planning.Most girls will use pads at least for their first period. Your first period will probably be fairly light so Always Thin Maxi Regular or Always Thin Ultra Regular would be a good choice of pad. If you are physically small, you may want to consider Always Thin Ultra Slender. It's a good idea to keep a pad or two hidden in your locker at school, and carry another in your backpack. This way you won't be caught off guard when it does happen.
Relax, you will get your period, and you'll have them for a long time!

REVIEW!! : tampax pearl

hey gyrlz!!! lucy here!

so lately iv been "risking my life " with new tampons.. i used to use ubykotex but i wanted something new!!! i read about some great choices on Beinggirl.com but tampax pearl always stands out from the crowd!! so, what makes tampax pearl so good? easy question and i can answer it with the following :

1. it has a leak guard braid to help protect leaks (as if that was possible!)
2. its easy to use plastic applicator makes it so easy for first timers!
3. the tampon opens 180º (unlike the kotex which opens 360º) which makes it easier to remove (in my opinion) !
4. the wrapper is so quiet it barely makes a sound cause when your in the bathroom , who really needs to know what your doing?!
5. the best part about using a tampon is that you can be free!!!!! i know that some pads can help you move easily but with tampons, you barely feel like its there!! and of course theres just some  things you can't do with a pad! e.g. swimming, gymnastics and sometimes running.  now I'm not making you have to use them, or have to use one every time your on your period but sometimes its just easier!

hope this helped :)
love
Lucy <3
