My 13 year old daughter is currently on her period and it looks like she will next be on either just before or while we are on holiday. (Not entirely sure when as even though she has been having periods the 2 years 4months she can go between 4 and 6 weeks ). She tried tampons a few months after starting her periods when she was 11 but couldn't get them in even with me sitting next to her offering advice she started crying and said it hurt. So I told her to leave it and hold onto the rest of the box in case she ever wanted to try again. She has never tried again and been happy with towels. But with holiday coming up I suggested to her that she try again now she is older as if she is on while we are away she won't be able to go swimming but she says she doesn't want to try again. I have heard about a pill you can take to delay period is it safe for such a young girl and are there any Side effects.
