ASK VICKI A QUESTION

It’s only natural to want or need some puberty advice when you start to see your body changing.

If you have a question about periods, changes to your body or how you're feeling and can’t find the answer on here, ask Vicki for some advice. Just type in your question and press submit.

If our agony aunt Vicki can help you, she'll post an answer in ‘Your questions answered’ page, so don't forget to keep checking it. You don’t have to give us your name, it’s completely anonymous and nobody will know it was you that asked. Vicki knows a lot about periods and sanitary protection but she isn’t an expert on everything and isn’t medically trained, which means she may not be able to answer every question. But don't worry, if she can’t help, she'll suggest where you should go for the right advice.

Hi! I recently found some lil let's teen tampons in my sister's old bag, I googled them but I can't find where to buy more. They're not on boots or superdrug and I found some lil let's teen super tampons on Amazon but it said currently unavailable. Can I get more of these and where from? Have they been discontinued and if so why and will they ever come back???

Show Answer

Hi, unfortunately these have now been discontinued from the Lil-Lets teens range, due to insufficient interest. But you may find our lite or regular non-applicator absorbencies are just as suitable if you are new to tampons.

You have talked about discharge right ? So I have it really bad and I dont know if my mum notices it when I put my knickers in the wash but should I tell her so she can buy me liners or should I continue to use the ones from school -Madelyn aged 11

Show Answer

Hi Madelyn, if discharge bothers you, or is making your feel uncomfortable during the day, then yes have a chat to your mum and ask about panty liners, especially our teens ones, that will fit snugly into your underwear. See our link below.

Hi, im a 13 year old girl and I am quite concerned. since 2 or 3 years ago, I have had hard disc shape things in my breasts. they started off small, but grew along with me. i thought that it was normal, but now i am getting concerned that it is something bad. they are about the size of my breast and they arent thick but also not thin, and they are movable. do you have any idea what this could be? and of it is of concern, what should i do?

Hi, these are your breast buds and you can find out more about this part of development if you read my blog  below.

I hate vaginal discharge. My most common leaks are at school which is terrible. Do you have any advice for vaginally discharge?

Show Answer

Hi, discharge in your teens and pre-teens is very normal, although often inconvenient. My top tip is to wear liners daily, and for very heavy discharge days you may even like the comfort of a small pad, such as our teens day pads. You may also find my blog on discharge useful too.

what time of day do periods usually come at?

Show Answer

A period can arrive anytime of day or night, when you are out and about or when sleeping, they are pretty unpredictable, so it's always a great idea to keep some pads or liners with you at all times. Our Becoming A Teen Starter kit is ideal.
