Girls, how do I hide my pads at school when I go to the bathroom to change it?

[Anonymous]

I'm not allowed to go to the bathroom outside of class so I can't change it in between. No one carries purses, backpacks or little bags around school and especially not to the bathroom. People bring nothing to the bathroom but themselves and their pass which is just a piece of paper. My jackets/sweaters don't have inside pockets and pads fit in the outside ones but the pockets aren't zippers so people can still see inside my pockets and its small enough that they can easily slip out. Plus I don't want to HAVE to wear certain clothes when I'm on my period. I don't use tampons. I also don't wear boots or jeans or any pants with pockets. I only wear a t-shirt, sweater, leggings and sneakers. You can see the pad if it's in my sleeve and putting it in my waistband shows and it slips too easily. I honestly feel like there's nothing I can do but maybe there's hope. I know someone is going to say don't hide it but I just feel uncomfortable when people see it and that feeling isn't something I can hide.

Maybe going to mini tampons by kotex, thats what i use they are tiny.. but if u can't.. why not put them in ur bra or in the waistband of ur pants or wear long socks in put them in there... ur really kinda limited, can i ask what kind of school do u go to and are there not other girls that go there as well? I can't believe nobody carrys a purse, and maybe u could start carrying a wristlet or small purse everyday so its not obvious just to carry it a few times a month. Can u not ask ur friends what they do maybe?

How about putting it under your foot in your sneakers. So that you don't look weird, put them under both shoes. Or you can simply tell a teacher or even the principal, if you want to, your situation. They may kindly let you pass in bringing a purse or something with you to the bathroom.

Get a sweater with pockets or tuck them into your bra with a loose shirt.

I mean, does it matter? If I'm on my period I ask to use the bathroom, grab a tampon, and go. Guys will either a) not know what it is or b) not bother saying anything. It's completely natural, like I've literally shouted across the room to ask if anyone had tampons before and got one from a girl, then started walking towards my male teacher who was like "oh my god just go". Like they're freaking tampons, not atom bombs 😂

Omg wow what a storie

What I do is

1. Make sure no one is looking
2. Open the pocket of my backpack where I keep my pads (this is at my locker btw)
3. Quickly put it in my sleeve and fast walk to the girls washroom
4. CHANGE!!!
5. Walk out like a Queen and as if nothing happened

Maybe put it in ya bra before class? Or get a small handbag and put it in there. U can also use carry a purse with you to school. Use that.

I don’t believe this story. If you’re going to school, there will be other girls who have their periods. How do these girls do it?

[MissCappuccino]

Try tucking it under your bra strap, in your bra or beneath the waistband of your leggings.

Stick it in your bra! I have done it so many times and it works!
However don’t be embarrassed by bring a tampon in to class if you need one. Everyone knows women get their periods I feel that it’s almost a taboo and it should not be! It’s natural!

You can stitch a pocket to the inner part of a sweater or inside hem of a shirt and slip an extra one into the pocket before the school day

When I was in high school I just put my tampon in my pocket so you could try that or I just carried a small handbag no one really cares honestly

I feel like the bra method is the best option. !
