When youre waiting for your period should you put a pad so ot doesnt leak or just wait? Thxxx

Show Answer

Hi, it's a good idea to use a liner if you think your period may be with you soon, or if you want to capture discharge and feel fresh every day. A liner will keep your underwear protected from any period leaks until you can pop to the toilet and switch up to a pad. Check out our teens range of liners, ideal for smaller bodies.

Hi, I had my period a few weeks ago and it was due today but it didnt come so how will I be abel to know when its here?

Show Answer

Hi, the thing with first periods and indeed for the first few years, is that they can be erratic with either long or short gaps in between, sometimes several months can pass between each one. So don't worry this is quite normal and instead keep some pads or liners with you when out and about, so no matter when your period arrives you are prepared.

Random but if a toddler is about to do something dangerous is it okay to tap them on the bottom or hand? May be too personal but did you use it on your children?

Show Answer

It would be much better to distract them so they stop what they are doing and move over to where you have something else to show them.

People at school keep asking me if it is true if I have nits and I feel really upset that people obviously think I do and I am starting to worry if I do and I don't know whether I ask my mum to check

Show Answer

Hi, why do you think people are asking you this question? Have you been itching this area more frequently?  Have a chat to a good friend in school and ask why this rumour is going round, and then come back to me and we can chat further.

Hello, I didnt ask this question IFP663 but I had a question about your reply. You said something about knowing what country the person who provides the measurements with is from, does that mean you know what country we may live in? Thank you

Show Answer

Sometimes different countries have different ways of identifying bra sizing for example the UK and US are the same, but Australia and Spain are different.

Hi Vicki, I think I might have adhd, I know only a medical expert can really diagnose this, however I often cant concentrate in school unless Im fidgeting with something and I often draw on the tables in school. Im thirteen and as I live Ireland Ill be going to secondary school in September, do u have anyway that I can cope better? Also I often hyper fixate on my hobbies often not thinking about anything thing else for WEEKS. Thnx, Lola

Show Answer

Hi Lola, at 13 lots of the things you mention can be attributed to puberty as well as ADHD. If you have concerns, share these with your parents, or the person who cares for you and they may decide to pop you along to your doctor for a chat and they will be able to help you identify if this condition is something you have, giving you peace of mind.

Show Answer

Hi Libby, I have been doing this for a while now and I agree it's totally cool to have a site for teens to visit, read great stuff about puberty and periods and ask questions anonymously. I hope you find the site useful.

XFI582- thanks for your response. but u said that it never came up ie ur kids never wanted to drink under 16. for example, if u asked my parents about me they would probably say the same thing, that i wouldnt want to drink. so i feel that its a bit random to bring it up you know. i just feel that alot of stuff in my life i just shove away to one side, and keep it to myself. me bringing up just a small topic about drinking would probably spiral to alot more- maybe some of the things i expressed to you in the previous question. and then my parents would think im being rude. idk. i geniuenly appreciate what youre saying. i just wouldnt know how to even bring it up. its like my parents arent even strict. ofc they want me to do well in school, etc, but if i did badly on a test (which is quite rare because i do work hard off my own back not my parents) they wouldnt get cross, theyd understand, that sometimes these things happen. they would never ground me, get cross at me. im never moody, never have been. dont ask for alot, very polite and helpful. so obviously theres not much for them to get cross about, its just that because i never do anyhting wrong i feel like it wouldnt harm them to let me act more like a 16/17 year old. im really sorry, this is probably a bit of a long ramble, but idk. look even if u dont have much advice to give back to me, i geniuely appreciate being able to say this to someone and let them hear what i feel but never actually tell. so sorry, but thank you.

Show Answer

Rather than having a full on conversation, wait for the moment to present itself, maybe a party is coming up, or you will see a movie or advert showing people drinking socially and this can be your prompt to casually mentions your thoughts.

are there natural ways to bring forward a period? not by like a massive amount, just a couple days, maybe 3/4 days. its just that i am going away in may, and theres a high chance my period will fall then. I just need it to be a few days earlier, so the heavier days are out of the way so i can enjoy my holiday pain free, and then can also swim. ive heard oranges and pineapples, but is this true? my friends say that it works to bring forward a period by a few days? or any other suggestions? thanks :)

Show Answer

Hi, I am afraid there is nothing you can eat, drink or do that will change when your period arrives. In some instances a doctor will prescribe medication to delay a period, but this ultimately will cause irregular periods for a few months after. 

But remember that periods don't have to stop holiday fun, and there are so many products ideal for swimming on your periods, such as tampons, menstrual cups, period swimwear. And if your flow is very light you may not need to use anything at alll when in the water.

Hi Vicki, I messaged a boy I used to know and hes a lovely person. And he carried on the conversation and asked me questions which I responded to and asked him. But I can see he hasnt opened the message yet hes watching my story and this happened days ago. The thing is hes such a nice person I know hes not doing it on purpose or is rude, but Im just confused why he hasnt opened the message or if he forgot to reply. But i thought by watching my story, hed remember to reply. Its not a massive deal but what do you think? As it would be nice to carry on the conversation but Im not going to message again if he doesnt open. Thanks

Show Answer

Hi, maybe he does not think his comment or your response requires a response back, everyone's view on messaging will be different and often boys think very differently. So don't be too upset maybe contact him with another subject or story in a few days and let the original conversation drop.
