so I got my first period during summer break so that was okay. I had just finished 4th grade so I was 10 (now 12) and I woke up, went to the bathroom because I felt wet down there and thought “oh it’s probably just discharge” since I got it like 3-4 months before. Anyways I went and as I pulled down my underwear, the whole thing was covered! From front to back and I kinda freaked out bc I had been wanting my period for a few months and I finally got it! I had done research before on the internet and because of family life in school, but my mom didn’t tell me about periods etc so I didn’t know if she had pads or not but I kinda knew what to expect. Then I started freaking out bc I was like how am I gonna tell mom? And I thought of different ways to do it until I finally thought “you know what? I’’m just gonna tell her” so I went to her bed and was like “Mom?” And she turns towards me and then I showed her my underwear and then she gasped and took me upstairs. My mom uses pantyliners for her periods idk why lol so then I had to use them for a while and I always stained my underwear using them so one day we went shopping and I asked if I could get pads and then I got tween pads. She told my sister, grandma and dad (awks) but yeah and in July we went to a lake and I was on my period but secretly before when I went shopping to get pads I bought a box of tampons just incase yenno so I was rushing but I managed to get it in correctly so I was happy :) and I’m currently on it rn and I remember wanting my period bc it seemed cool and bc I would become a woman but ugh I hate it now and wish I got it later :( so that’s my first period story :) thanks for reading if you do!
