I need pads I'm 15

Ashlyn
Hey everyone! Listen I need help! My mom and I... We don't have a very close relationship because of personal reasons. So I feel very uncomfortable asking her for/about anything considered private. And my dad is out of the picture as well. I need a way to get pads without asking her. Anyone know how I can do this? It would be a huge help if I could get some without going through her.

Just go to the store

Ask friends, the school nurse, or even your friends parents.. Also it may be hard, but try to get closer to your mom.. Maybe if you try, she will try.. Then it should be easier asking the simplest things..

I used to be in this situation. Go try and get some from a school nurse or friends. I used to stock up on some my friend would give me, and when I didn't have any, I'd use toilet paper or paper towels. It was awful but luckily I have a diva cup now!

If you have money, try getting them yourself if you can. Do you go shopping with her? When you're at the store go into the isle and grab some, put it in the cart. I doubt she'll refuse. Good luck!

No offense but get over it. Buy some pads or ask your nurse. EVERY WOMAN has periods

Buy some from online if you are really embarrassed about asking or just go to the store I know it's horrible the first couple times you have to buy them but after a while you'll be walking through the store like "yeah my uterus is bleeding whatcha gonna do about it!?"

Same problem that I had and it sucks. But eventually once you start talking to your mom about this kind of stuff more often it will become easier to talk about. You just have to break the ice first.
