I want to switch to tampons soon but im worried as I often get blood clots especially on day 2 of my period. this may seem like a silly question but do tampons still absorb blood clots? Thanks!

Show Answer

Yes, they do and they are ideal for someone with a heavy flow that releases clots, try our regular and super absorbencies to start off with.

*sigh* half of my friends have gotten their first periods and Im literally part of the other half and Im scared even more of them have started during lockdown but for me still none...

Show Answer

Puberty is not a competition, a period can arrive anytime between the ages of 8-18 and I am sure yours will be here when your body feels the time is right just for you.

Hey there! What skincare routine do you recommend for a 13 year old. Is stuff like face masks, serum, eye creams, cleansing water and all these kind of items necessary? Or is using a face wash and moisturizer enough. What brand do you recommend for face moisturizers for 13 year olds

Show Answer

You are spot on, a face wash, light moisturiser and possibly an exfoliator once a week is all a 13 year old needs. Simple, Superdrug's Tea Tree range and even Aldi's Lacura facial wash and exfoliating wash are inexpensive and very good.

Hey! My size is 34B but I still dont wear a bra and I dont know how to ask my mum for a bra because she was never that open with me and I come from a cultural family where talking about puberty, periods etc isnt really a normal thing. Everytime I tell my mum my chest area hurts she tells me to wear my undergarment but now I feel like Im too old for it and that I need a bra. I keep hinting to her but she still hasnt bought me one. When I was younger I had training bras and you could see them through my clothes which is what my mum didnt like so she got rid of them and made me continue wearing long undergarments and and I cant openly talk to her.

Show Answer

It is time I feel to be honest with your mum and come right out and ask her for a bra, let her know that you feel you now need one and would like to go shopping to purchase a couple.

Hi Vicky i wanted to ask some personal questions feel free not to answer if you don't wish to. I wanted to know that i am not the only one. Have you ever accidentally hit you breasts when you were going through puberty? And if so dose it affect development? Is it just me or during puberty you get emotional and one minute you are crying and the next laughing? I hope you reply thanks.

Show Answer

Yes I did accidently knock my breasts during puberty and still do sometimes, it hurts a little but no lasting damage is done. Puberty is an emotional roller coaster and I would urge you to read the blogs under the heading Emotions.
