My 10 yr DD, is showing all the signs of puberty and I want her to feel as prepared as possible for when she starts her periods. When I started mine, aged 11, I already knew how to use tampons, as my mum gave me some some mini ones to practise on months before I started. I would like to do the same thing, but my DP disagrees. She says DD is too young to use them, and should start with pads, but also acknowledges that her mum was very old fashioned, and DP never used a tampon until her late 20s.
DD does alot of swimming/diving, and I would hate for her periods to affect this because she uses a pad. I want her to have the attitude that her period does not limit her, and is no big deal.
I was just looking for some other opinions, or experience...thanks
