Hey there,

I'd love to tell you about how much periods are a sign of your womanhood, blah blah blah, but to be completely honest, I hate them too.

I'd recommend trying out tampons. They're really not all that scary. First, get the smallest kind that they have. I'd personally recommend the U By Kotex "Sleek" tampons, or another brand like that, since htey are basically made for the teenage body. Then, make sure you read the directions very carefully beforehand and put it in very carefully. I'd also recommend not trying to "attempt" before your period. TMI, but your blood sort of acts as lubrication during your period, so if you're not bleeding, tampons don't feel very nice in there.

If you can't do that, then you can always wear pads but then wear a looser bathing suit, maybe a pair of male or shorts bottoms. (As I always wear anyway since I'm weird!)

Good luck.
