So this actually isn’t my first period, but it was one to remember. So I was going on vacation and it was only like my second or third period. On the way to the beach, of course I leaked, but I was wearing black shorts so you couldn’t see. I was on it the whole time I was there and I didn’t want to put in a tampon, so I would wear nothing and walk around with a towel around my waist all the time.
Once I even wore a pad swimming and wore shorts over it and that didn’t work. My mom found the blood on the towel and said she’d show me how to put in a tampon, but I didn’t want her to do that so I tried to do it myself and I did it right. So finally for the rest of the time I could relax just a little bit, but not much which sucked hard.
