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.

I have no idea how to put a tampon in. I feel like I will waste them & it will be to hard to get in.

Show Answer

Hi, firstly try with a lower absorbency such as our lite or regular tampons. Try on your heaviest of days, usually days 2-3 and relax. Read the instructions held in every pack and then insert in a slanting direction towards the base of  your spine.  And don't worry if you don't get it right first time, this is the case for many people. You can always push the tampon in a llitle farther if you can still feel it.

Can I ask you some questions about yourself? Fav Color/Animal/Dessert/Song/Music Artist/Hair Color/etc!

Show Answer

Hmmm, let me think,

I guess black is my fav colour and always has been, although I find pink suits me too! Animal, I like reindeer and their lovely long eyelashes. My hair is brown with a few highlights and has always been this colour so I guess I'm stuck with it. Favourite song...that's a tough one, I have so many, but I am currently listening to Taylor Swift's new album and I like Fortnight (but then I am a huge fan of Post Malone) and also the track Florida. But mostly I like dance tracks.
