Hey Vicki, I asked question PBE773 and yesterday I had a really bad headache ( I had to go home early) and today I just got cramps and really heavy discharge. You also mentioned something about if I'm seeing brownish discharge that could be my period. I haven't seen anything yet but would I be able to see it on black pants? And about the discharge, cramps and headaches could my period be coming this month? Thx- H

So basically I have just turned 12 and I have had breast buds for abt a year now and they are growing rlly slowly and are still like buds I wear a crop top when is it time to wear a bra should I be worried?? When will I start my period I have quite a lot of pubic hair and some armpit hair

Show Answer

Hi, why not measure yourself as in the image below and send these over to me for a guide to your bra size. The websites you mentioned are fine for first  bras, but they are quite expensive and you may find stores like M&S, Primark and Matalan are better choices. As for first periods, if you have noticed pubic and underarm hair and maybe even discharge, then these are great signs your period is not too far away and I would now keep some pads or liners with you from now on, and when out and about. Our Lil-Lets teens starter kit would be ideal.

My tampon is in the right hole at least I think but when I pee it falls out it's not in the hold where pee comes out though

Show Answer

Hi, it seems that you have not inserted the tampon high enough inside the vaginal opening and this is why it falls out when you push to pee. Try inserting until your knuckle or the base of the outer applicator touches the entrance to your vagina and in a slanting direction towards the base of your spine, this should stop this happening.

See our usage instructions below-

Having your period in the summer absolutely sucks I can get a tampon in but it hurts like heck and it won't go any higher. Do you have tip?

Show Answer

Hi, like anything new using a tampon can take a little practice. My tips are to try on your heaviest day, usually day 2-3 and relax, either stand with knees bent, or hover of the toilet. Then aim the tampon in a slanting direction towards the base of your spine, this will give you the most comfortable fit. If you've inserted it high enough your knuckle should just  be touching the entrance to your vagina. Some people also find giving a little cough as they insert helps relax the vaginal entrance and makes insertion easier. And for first time tampons I recommend the lite absorbency from Lil-Lets.

See our video below for more tips.

I've had suicidal thoughts in the past and have done self harm. My closest friend knows but my parents don't. It's kinda an awkward subject and I'm scared to tell them. I feel like they might find it stupid.

Show Answer

Hi and thank you so much for sharing something so personal—that takes a lot of courage. What you're feeling is completely valid, and you're not alone in this. Many teens feel unsure or scared about opening-up, especially to parents, but talking about your mental health is one of the strongest and most important things you can do.

Remember it’s okay to talk about how you feel , your feelings are real, and they matter. Sometimes parents just don’t know how to respond at first. They might be surprised or even scared themselves. But most of the time, once they understand what you’re going through, they’ll want to help and support you. You deserve that support.

If talking face-to-face feels too hard, you could try writing a note, sending a message, or even asking your friend to help you start the conversation. You don’t have to explain everything perfectly—just saying, “I’ve been struggling, and I need help” is a powerful first step
