[Jess66]

So this is kind of embarrassing but I'm at my boyfriends house for three weeks this summer holidays. I don't know what to do though because I am due on my period in the second week with my luck this is going to be terrible! I don't know how I will dispose my pads and tampons and how to hid them as well?! I will be staying in his bed as well and I am scared I will leak because I leak so so easily and it will be embarrassing but if I did what would he tell his mum:O how embarrassing for him:( I also don't know how to tell him that I will be because no boy really wants to know that a girls on her period?! PLEASE HELP ME ASAP:'(

Don't worry about your period, most guys are understanding about it these days. They know it's just part of being a woman and there's nothing we can do to stop it. So here's a good game plan:

Stick with tampons if you can since they're a bit more sanitary. Throw your pads and tampon wrappers away like you normally would but if you want to be a little more discrete about it, just wrap them in toilet paper or a paper towel before you put them in the garbage. In order to minimize the chances of leaking while you sleep, use a sufficiently sized tampon for the night and wear a pad as well just in case it leaks through the tampon.

And if you do leak, I'm pretty sure his mom will be understanding about it. She's probably leaked onto a few beds in her day as well.

It's your period- it's not like you're radioactive. If your Boyfriend is old enough to have you stay with him, then he's old enough to accept the fact that periods happen in normal, healthy adult women. You don't need to hide your tampons. Dispose of them like you normally would.. unless you normally stick them to the wall or something. Don't do that. Just wrap them up and throw them away or flush them. It's not a big deal. If you are worried about leaking, do a tampon/pad combo when you go to sleep- then you won't get blood on his sheets. Even if you did... I promise you his mother would understand. She also used to have periods- maybe she even still has them, I don;'t know her life.

Seriously, it's your period, not Typhoid. Get a grip.

No, do NOT wear a tampon when you go to sleep. Just DON'T. Everybody knows they shouldn't be worn for longer than 4 hours, and especially if your period is as heavy as you say.

Just wear an extra layer of clothing down there. Really thin shorts beneath your pants.

Wrong. A tampon can be worn for up to eight hours. The less absorbent, the better- meaning if you don't have a heavy flow, don't use a Super Plus.

-When you have a used pad, wrap it up in toilet paper and throw it in the garbage. (Make sure to push it to the bottom).

-Make sure you change your pad every few hours.

-Also, to ensure you don't leak while sleeping (what helps me is to sleep on my stomach), because it changes the flow.

-to bed wear tights and then pajama pants also (make sure they are both dark in color).

-put toilet paper on your pad if you have to for extra protection during the night.

-if your boyfriend asks, because open and honest with him.

You'd be surprised be may even rub your stomach.

If he's your man he shouldn't be grossed out by these things, it's expected you are a woman.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. I'm sure he understands but if you want to be a little discreet...

You can buy doggy bags from a dollar store. They are black and usually lemon scented to mask odor. Wrap up your pad/tampon like normal then put it in the black doggy bag, tie the bag up, and throw it away (if you are worried about him seeing it in the trash or about any smell).

To help during the night you can buy those one time use disposable panties made out of cotton (they look like adult diapers BUT they are made for periods and look like regular panties. They really help absorb leaks) and then you can wear dark bottoms.

Good luck! ^_^

This may come as a shock to you, but all teenage guys know about periods.

Just dispose of them as normal. (Garbage, don't flush) and don't make a big deal out of it, because it's really *not* a big deal.

Generally the only thing guys don't like about periods, is the emotional drama we get dragged through when the girl has her mood swings.

Compared to that, a bit of bloody tampons or pads are *NOTHING* to get worked up over.

Honestly, it's cute that you think it's a big thing. But it's also kind of childish and silly.

I'm guessing her boyfriend is in his twenties because she is 21.

Todays men are numb to the bodily functions of the female sex. We don't care.

Your boyfriend should be mature enough to handle periods. And he's gonna find out if he wants to mess around or have sex and you tell him no lol. I always flush my used tampons, but just wrap your pads in toilet paper and throw them away normally. No need to freak out about it :)

If he's your boyfriend, you shouldn't feel embarrassed about having your period. If you're really worried, you could always wear thick, long pads. When disposing them, you could always wrap it up and take it to another garbage can so that people don't see it in the bathroom. All men know women have periods and it's natural so don't be embarrassed.

just tell him. keep the pads on your suitcase or whatever and dispose them in the bin like any other day. about the leakage, just put a folded towel underneath your butt, a towel is easier to clean than the sheets
