Don't go swimming without a tampon
 
I'm so sorry about your mom my love goes to you😘😘😃

Answer

Experiment between tampons and pads. And then once you've decided, look at the different kinds available. Like ultra thin etc.

Answer

I'm sorry for your loss, congratulations on entering a new phase of your life. I recommend finding a method you prefer to deal with the blood, there are many different options like pads, tampons, thinx underwear and a menstrual cup. For cramps I prefer a general pain reliever (I like excedrine) opposed to midol, it's cheaper and I think it's more effective. If you have really bad cramps heat like a hot shower or heating pad work great, or a topical pain reliever like bengay or aspercream (odorless) does wonders

Answer

If you're comfortable going to buy pads or tampons start a period box with paracetamol all your pads or tampons, chocolate and things that make you feel good. Always carry a small purse with extra supplies in for school or out and about and you'll be good :) xx

Answer

do you have any specific questions?

periods are complicated at first, they come as and when they please and hurt like hell. They can be short, long, light and heavy! Try a range of products until you find one you like, pads, tampons, a certain brand etc. 
Always carry pads around with you for emergencies as you could be anywhere when you come on. Maybe have some pain killers with you too. After a while you should start becoming more regular and identitying symptoms that link with coming on :-)

Answer

As long as you stay prepared you should be good 👍🏻👌🏻

Answer

First go to the store and get some tampons and pads and take a shower before you put the tampon or the pad on and get some clean cloths on follow me😎😎😕💅💅😜😜 good luck
