Hi Vicki. I hope you've had a good week. Please could you explain how the vulva develops for girls? I'm still in the early stages of puberty, but I feel that I don't have any of the external parts yet and wanted to understand how my body will develop as our school doesn't really talk about this subject. x

Show Answer

As you enter puberty and your sexual organs mature the size and shape of your labia will change, these are the folds of skin that protect the entrance to the vagina. See my blog below for more advice.

hello vickii im slightly worried as when i peed there was flaky yellow bits in it yesterday morning, i had a sligh discomfort in my bladder when i peed but i pee less byt dont drink enough water....

Show Answer

Drinking plenty of fluids, especially in such warm weather is very important for our bladder health.  See if by increasing your intake you can stop your urine being so strong and passing urine painful. However, if the pain persists please have a chat to your parents, or the person who cares for you and share this with them, as you may have a bladder infection that if not treated can be very uncomfortable to manage.

i've had pain under my left boob for the past three days that only appears when i walk after waking up and seems to go after i eat What is going on

Show Answer

Hi, this is most likely part of breast development and breasts often have growth spurts that last a couple of days, when they can feel tender or uncomfortable to the touch. Don't worry a supportive bra will help, even if its a crop top or sports bra and as the skin continues to stretch over the breast area it will start to feel less uncomfortable.

I don't know what to do! I want to shave my legs for the first time so I can wear shorts in the summer. I feel uncomfortable wearing shorts without shaved legs. I know it seems simple to ask my mom, but I just can't do it! I feel like it will be awkward and I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!! Please help!

Show Answer

Why not ask your mum how old she was when she first starting removing leg hair and if she has any tips for you. Be honest, your mum will want you to comfortable and will most likely be happy to help you choose how you remove this hair, or at the very least give you an idea of what age she feels this is appropriate.

Heyyyy viki so I told you about Alfie last time the one That now has a gf, and u said that he was off limits, do you remember? Anyway, basically he has been staring at me alot lately, we are in the same form so are basically in every lesson together, and whenever I look over he's looking at me and I say what and he says what and we laugh together and whenever something funny happens Im the first person he looks at and when his friend said that he could go to badminton with me Alfie raised his eyebrows and looked in a sexy way He's also in an argument with his gf at the moment as she hugged another boy and she's being a bit mean to him so I don't know if he's giving me a hint or whatttt .. Also yesterday I made eye contact with my crush and it was really awkward, we were looking at something and I was staring at something and then we kept looking up and down, at the paper, at each other at the same, can you tell me what this means??? thanks xoxo

Show Answer

Hi, yes your crush may like you but until he is single I would keep it friends only.  You have to ask yourself this question: if you were dating Alfie and found out he was flirting with another girl, how would you feel? So maybe let Alfie work out his current relationship and see what happens then.

Hi, this really would be a question for your parents, or the person who cares for them as to whether they are comfortable of this age visiting websites unsupervised.

Hey, my breasts started developing 2 years ago but I still havent gotten my period. Am I late? I have cramps and pubic hair soo I dont know

Show Answer

The signs of puberty do not arrive at the same time for everyone and we are all different, so please try not to worry if your period has yet to arrive. Have you noticed any discharge, this is an excellent sign that your period is not too far away.

Hi, this is my third period and its quite heavy. Can I start using tampons?

Show Answer

Hi, yes of course if you feel ready to try tampons, they are ideal for the summer months or when you want to be more active. 

Check out range of tampons and consider using lite or regular at first with a liner as back-up. Then you can switch up to a heavier absorbency over time and when you are used to inserting a tampon ore confidently. We also have a great video that you may find useful, be sure to read the instruction leaflet held inside every pack of tampons and please feel free to come back to me should you have any more questions.

Hi Vicki, last month I had my second period and a few days ago I started my third one. I wasn't prepared for it because it had only been 13 days since my last one. It's heavier than before and I'm quite worried. Is this normal and should I tell my mum about it?

Show Answer

Hi, please don't worry first periods can be very unpredictable with both long and short gaps in between each one. And as you have noticed sometimes you may get two periods in one calendar month. Over time it will start to become more regular and manageable.  And to help with a heavier flow try using a long or night pad during the day.
