Got Questions About Your Period?

When it comes to menstruation and puberty, it’s totally normal to have questions. There are so many changes happening in your body, and it’s important for you to find answers to the questions you have. But if you’re not sure where to turn for guidance, it’s possible that you’ll end up with some less-than-accurate info. Heck, there are tons of grown women out there who think a tampon can get lost inside your body, like it’s just going to float up and hang out next to your liver for no reason whatsoever (for the record, this is not possible. Phew!) But when girls have questions, it can be hard for them to know where to look for the right answers. Luckily for you, we’ve got your back. (more…)

Help! My Teen Daughter Won’t Talk to Me About Her Period

We recently received a great question from a parent. Her question is so relatable, that we wanted to share it here! It’s something every parent has felt in one way or another.

Here was her message to us:

Hello! So glad I found your website. I have two daughters. My first daughter entered puberty, and we talked and dealt pretty comfortably with it. My mistake was excluding my second daughter from those talks bcse I thought she wasn’t ready. Boy was I wrong! Her period and physical development caught me off guard. She started at ten before I had a chance to talk with her. She was frightened and went through it all alone the first time. She has now built a “wall” and is hesitant to talk openly with me when I bring up anything to do with her period. I want openness between me, and my girls, something I never had with my own mother. I always thought I would be a “cool” mom. Can’t believe I messed up so badly!! Any advice? Thanks!
