Period Questions- 1 hour limit!!!

[Spook]

Hey girls, I have 2 questions.... :whoops:

I got my period for the first time this morning, and I have already changed through over 10 pads, 3 of them being extra-thick maxi pads with wings. Is it normal to bleed this much? Also, it's been going on ALL day- I can feel it like I'm peeing myself or something. My second question is--- is it a bad idea to go to ballet in an hour with a pad on? I'm worried I'll either leak through, or that it will be noticable through my leotard (the thick im using). Should I wear a tampon?

Thanks :whoops:

Wear a tampon if you can
It will make u feel less bulky
and its better for excersising :-)
Hope this helps

There isn't really a "normal" for your first period. Everyone is different, so there isn't anything wrong with what's going on. Don't worry.

Yeah, I'd definitely use a tampon if you can. Wayyy better for exercise, trust me.

Good luck!

my first wasnt that bad at all. tampons are easier but a pain to use in the beginning
