Re: ? About my period -

Hi there,
Since you're still relatively new with your period, it is hard to tell when you will end it. Sometimes when a girl first starts her period, their cycle length or when they get their period may be a little irregular, but normally it regulates over time. If you ever have any questions about your period and what changes are happening with your body, talk to a trusted female in your life or a doctor.
The others have given you loads of great suggestions. Do you have a bag or a purse that you would be able to bring with you? If so, that's a great place to keep a pad since you can bring it into the restroom. Or, I put my pads in a sweater pocket because I have one that zips up, but if you have a sweater or pants with deep enough pockets it still may work. Or, if you have a lot of belongings you can nestle it beneath some of them so it's more hidden.
But, even though it's embarrassing, I'd still bring a pad or tampon with you, just in case. You wouldn't want to need to change your pad and be caught without one, because that can turn more embarrassing than bringing a pad depending on how badly it needs to be changed!
I use Always Infinity pads like Cassie suggested, so if you have a heavier flow or are afraid you won't be able to change your pad right away you can use some of those, but if you can find a way to change your pad I probably would, just because it feels a lot more sanitary and clean when you have a clean pad rather than walking around in it.
Haaave fun! Congratulations though.
