menstration

[Grinchilla]

I only have my father.
I don't have any more tampons/pads left...
I don't really use them anyway, unless it's really heavy...
otherwise I just use tissue paper every hour or so...
but at school I can't do this so often...
and they have been really heavy lately...
but I don't want to ask him...
and there are no stores in town...
and he only goes shopping coming home from work...
what should I do? I've been bleeding through at school sometimes.

:D

Muchas gracias.

[TheKingDavis]

just ask, he will understand

[Grinchilla]

lyyyyyk, OMG OMG OMGOMG OGMOMG aaaaaaaaaaaaah

You have a blue gender sign, not a pink one!!!!!

I'm not freaking asking him. I could've thought of that, my dear. :S

[TheKingDavis]

but I don't want to ask him...


hmm well that seemed to mean you were freaking about asking him

[Grinchilla]

I meant freaking as an intensifier... as an alternative to the swear word. Psh, I'm soooooo lady-like. And you are as sophisticated as moi when it comes to this word?

[TheKingDavis]

whoa tiger calm down

[Quick_Sylver]

Dustin. GET OUT OF OUR FORUMS!!!!!lol

well does your dad have a shopping list? if he does you could add pads/tampons to the bottom of the list.

[Grinchilla]

No!! haha he wanders around the store for hours picking out random things. we never have enough for a whole meal. :pjust a bunch of side dishes

THe gas station is bound to have pads/tampons... but yah... the cashier there... you know... the cashier is this certain boy... heh

ahh, hmm talk to a teacher, and let her(I'm assuming you'll be asking a female teacher) know the circumstances and ask her for help. Also so ask a younger teacher if possible. One of the girls in my class was in the same circumstances and she asked our older teacher...and the older teacher the next day bought her pads...but also yelled it loud enough everyone in the school heard...just warning you.

[hugslut]

now you're just being difficult.
Suck it up and ask him, or
buy your own, or
keep doing what you're doing. I really don't see how you expect us to help you.

Maybe you should go to a different town where there are some stores...

[Grinchilla]

As an eco-nut, I should be happy that I'm not wasting... but omg... rags seem so primitive and icky... :p But watevs. I need to get a driver's license.

Thanks all

Just ask your dad. It wont be embarressing if you dont make it. Just blurt it out or send him a text when you know he is shopping.
Dont bring any of your teachers into this. Its not their problem. Its not in their job description.
If you are determined not to ask your dad to buy them for you then go to your school nurse. She will have some anyway and maybe you can make arrangements to give her money to get you some.
Seriously though, your dad will start to wonder why you havent started your periods. Then he will ask you. It will be uncomfortable for the both of you. You'll have to tell him you have already started and have been getting pads sneakily.

[Discomposure]

Every girl has a period, your dad will understand that you will too.

Just ask him, say ...
Dad, i've started my period could you please get some sanitary towels (or whatever you prefer)

Don't be embarrased.

[laurita_21]

i know its embarasing and it was embarasing for me too, but i had to do it for my own good. DON'T use tissue paper because its bad ! i tried that once and my mum told me not to do it ! or maybe ask a close friend if you dont wanna ask you'r dad.

[Rebecca L Vaughn]

I don't see why you cant ask him considering that every girl does it and your dad knows it.

[abbiecadabby]

Well if you really want them then ask. Or you can ask a friends mom ?

[Jenna.]

Just tell him, he understands you're a girl and that this stuff happens to you. I'm the kind of person who isn't afraid to tell anyone that I'm on my period...at least that way I won't have to hide my pads/tampons that are in my purse or whatever from them! It's not good if you're too scared to tell your own dad...I mean what if for some reason something is wrong with your period or whatever and he needs to know? It might seem weird but trust me...it's not hard to just ask him to get you some "feminine products." (:

[niecey]

you shuld juss be up front wit yur dad nd let him kno wts goin on nd im sure he'll understand (i had tha same prob):)
