NC for this as I feel quite embarrassed to ask, but I’ve been here a long time. Cancel the cheque, naice ham, all that.
My daughter is 11, and I am just planning ahead for when she starts her periods, whenever that might be.
Period underwear seems like a fantastic innovation and I have used them myself in recent years. But one thing is nagging at me and making me wonder if they are right for girls just starting……
Bear with me, but has anyone found that they make periods harder to manage in the early months / years? With pads or even tampons you can (TMI) see the blood and gradually get an idea of your flow level, how your period typically tends to be, the rhythm of it for want of a better word. But I’m assuming with period underwear that kind of visual clue (however unappealing it might be) isn’t there.
Obvs wiping gives an idea, but I’ve really got it into my head that using period pants from the get go could make it harder to get used to periods.
Am I overthinking this? Any advice or experiences.
Many thanks.
