My 10 year old daughter has just started her first period - has anyone got any advice, warnings etc? She's still at primary school - they don't have sanitary bins, her uniform doesn't have pockets - how does she get a new pad into the loo to change it and what does she do with old one? Too young for tampons?
she's still very much a little girl so i feel really sorry for her. She's very self-conscious about her new boobs and pubic hair already and made me swear not to tell anyone that she had started her periods (including her Dad). fortunately we had already had The Talk, but she doesn't like talking about it to me. I have got her a couple of books. Her teacher, although lovely, is male, and she would die if I told him!
