What lipgloss is good? I am in year 8 and wear concealer, tinted moisturiser, blush, mascara and brow gel to school is this good? Also do you like Harry Styles ?!

Show Answer

Hi, a soft pink lip balm may be a good choice, such as burts bees or lipsalve, as both can be reapplied easily during the day....and yes I love Harry Styles.

Hi Vicki I recently started getting quite bad headaches on the school bus and I had one today but there was hardly anyone on it and it was quite quiet. Are they a normal thing in puberty, are they stress headaches or am I unwell?

Show Answer

I wonder if you suffer from a little bit of travel sickness, I know I do.  Sipping water can help, as can focusing on something in the bus rather than outside. Even sucking a mint can help.

Hi Vicki, Im 13 and just started my first period. Do u have any tips? Also how often should I change my pad?

Show Answer

Hi, whilst a pad can be worn for around 8 hours (when sleeping) for most, pads are changed every 3-4 hours, this avoids any bad odour being formed and noticed. 

Remember that periods are a natural part of life for almost half the population and as long as you have great products they should not impact on your daily life one bit. Check out the blogs on our Period section for more advice.

Does it hurt before I get my Period?

Show Answer

Hi, some will find they get a few tummy cramps a few days before their period arrives, others will notice no discomfort at all. We are all different you see and our periods will be too. The good thing is, any cramps you do get will subside if you keep active and should not cause too much disruption to your day.

Hi! I'm 13 and a 34A and I'm worried my boobs won't grow any more as I haven't noticed any growth in over a year. I'm 4'11'' and I'm supposed to grow to 5'3''/5'4'' (although I doubt I'll grow five inches as I've barely grown since I was eleven) Will growing in height make my boobs grow more? I went through puberty quite young and I used to be more developed than the other girls in my class and now I feel left behind as I haven't really developed year seven.

Show Answer

Hi, we continue to mature and grow into our late teens and even early twenties so please don't think all of your development has ended, it's just that sometimes the changes are so slight we barely notice them. And please also, don't compare your progress to those around you, everyone's journey is unique to them.

My tip is to eat a healthy diet so your body has the nourishment it needs to grow.

I feel like my muscles are just too tight for tampons.

Show Answer

Hi, this is most likely because you are nervous and therefore tightening the muscles at the entrance to the vaginal passage. My tip is to insert on your heaviest of days, use the lowest absorbency our Lite non-applicator would be perfect and then insert in a slanting direction towards the base of the spine. My last tip is to cough as you insert, this helps relax the vaginal opening and can make insertion easier.

Why do I think about sex and stuff, when I am not even a teen yet, one year to go?

Show Answer

Thoughts of a sexual nature are very common as you enter puberty and because your body is starting to sexually mature. Now whilst this is a natural feeling, it is also true that both emotionally and mentally is it unlikely you are prepared for such an interaction and for this reason governments create laws to help protect the young who may not completely understand these new feelings, or how to act upon them. These laws are there to keep you safe, until you are mature enough to understand being sexually active and what this entails.

Hi viki. Does it hurt having periods and what?? love suggar xxxx

Show Answer

Hi Suggar, whilst some people experience a few tummy cramps as the muscles surrounding the uterus contract, for most a period is no different to any other day, other than having to wear pads or tampons for protection. My advice is to read the blog below, where other visitors have shared their first period story.
