How do I shave my vagina and the hair around it like on my upper thighs by my vagina I cant use hair removal cream (I am 15 and I shave my legs and underarms already ) thanks x

Show Answer

Shaving is a quick and easy way to remove body hair. There really is no need to remove pubic hair, but if you wish to, my tip is to have a warm bath or place a flannel on the pubic area to open the hair folicles. Then using plenty of shave foam or gel glide a clean razor ONCE in the direction of hair growth, then ONCE against the direction of hair growth. Rinse with warm water and then gently rub in a little vaseline to help prevent razor burn.

How do you know if a guy is in denial? I've been talking to this guy who's in one of my lessons. We share in depth views on life and end up having petty or philosophical debates just sharing a classroom together. He invited me to sit with him and his friends, so I did. But his table is really big so out of class I rarely talk to him. He always. (Always) compliments me on my achievements and perspectives. Anyway, I don't know if he has a crush on me, or if we are simply friends? Yesterday we worked on homework together and he said he'd send me the work we'd done. So I offered my phone number, (as there was no other means of contacting me.) He got teased by the other guys there... then left the room hurriedly without it. Anyhow, today I hadn't seen him and was in another building than we usually hang out in. He burst through the door and asked me if we could exchange contact details. Once we had, he simply marched out again! I don't even know how he knew where I was in the first place. I am a bit confused about him atm.. and my friends suggested he might be in denial. I wondered what you think about this? X

Show Answer

Try not to overthink this matter, yes this boy may like you as a friend or romantically, but what is clear is that he won't be rushed into anything and wants to work at his pace and as privately as possible. So respect his wishes and wait for him to contact you first.

I feel really crazy as I dont want to look older- I still want my body to still look the same shape as it did when I was like 10. However in general I hate my body as I look like exactly like that- Ive not got big hips I dont have boobs and Im 5. But I also dont like the way my hips poke they arent like a curve its like a corner but at the same time I have very small hips. I dont really know, Im just confused, and I dont really know what my question is I just wanted to say that. Im 16 Thx from April

Show Answer

Hi April, it can take a while to get used to the changes occurring to your body during puberty, I do not see any cause for alarm, we are all different shapes and sizes and this is something to embrace and learn to love.

Hi I am 10 years old and I have started my period what are the use of panty liners

Show Answer

Pant liners are great for discharge and very light periods. For a normal to heavier flow you should wear a pad. See the blog below for more advice on the differences between these two products.

hi vicki i have very strict parents and im not allowed to do a lot of things my dad has anger issues so anything i say can get him angry my mom is never there for me the only one who really is, is my grandma she is 60 years old she knows all about this and she tells me to ignore it i do and it never works me and my grandma have thought about me living with her but my parents said not what should i do

Show Answer

When things are calmer have a chat to your parents and let them know that as you are now getting older you would welcome some more independence. You can start by cleaning your own room, once they see that you are growing up they may be more inclined to let you do a few more activities.  See the following blogs The Battle Between Teens and Parents and The Battle of the Bedroom.

Hi vicki I have been on here a couple of weeks ago about an orangey liquid coming out of my privates but it was the only occasion that has happened and now I have a really dark reddish brown liquid come out two days in a row. it sticks together when it dries in my liner is this my period as i have stopped having discharge or is it a thing I should be worried about Lots of love Tween

Show Answer

Yes this is your period, as was the orange fluid noticed a few weeks ago. Please share this news with your mum, or the person who cares for you and they will ensure you have pads or liners to help protect your underwear.

I'm sitting really stressful exams right now and i'm so beyond stressed that im literally permanently on edge and nippy. I really don't want to be and I'm trying my absolute best to stay calm but ultimately sometimes stress just gets the better of me and i end up snapping. I feel so awful about it, particularly as my mum keeps telling me what a horrible person I'm being 24/7 . I really try not to but I'm just so stressed it sometimes just happens and her ranting about me doesn't make it better. I've apologised so many times about how i don't mean to and that i literally can't help it but she doesn't understand and just shouts. It's really frustrating because no one gets the message and I just don't know what to do.

Show Answer

Get into the habit of counting to 10 or even 20 before speaking. Leaving the room for five minutes is also a good idea too. Of course it is normal for teens to be irritated by parents and to suffer with stress, however it is also true that there are ways to manage these outbursts and it is up to you to learn how to do this. So when things are calmer have a chat to your mum, let her know that you struggle with emotions but will try to handle them better in future. See my blog Managing Emotions.

when ever a boy touches me intimately me i get this horrible sick feeling in my stomach for days after and go off all my food. what could this be? Xx

Show Answer

It is most likely just a coincidence, or if you are under the age of 16 it may be because you feel a little guilty knowing that this is not a lawful activity to take place.

What happens if you start your period in an exam and it's really heavy but you're not allowed to go to the toilet?

Show Answer

If you have an exam coming and think your period may be with you soon, then wear a pad during the exam, this should alleviate any fears and allow you to feel comfortable and protected. Try our Lil-Lets teens pads if you have not heard of them before they are available in Boots, Superdrug, Sainsbury's and Waitrose.
