My DD started her first period yesterday age 10, she was really upset and shocked, worries than she won't be able to go swimming/dancing etc.
We have explained about using tampons for swimming and I will get her some to practice with.
Obviously this is all new, putting on pads etc and she leaked a couple of times yesterday, so although she isn't at school at the moment, i thought about getting her some leak proof pants for when she is there, does anyone know anywhere that does them for young girls as they all seem to be aimed at women!
