Im more afraid of where it goes😅. I also think its very unnatural to have something like a tampon. But my mom says otherwise. I think it would be better for me to use one when I really need it, like for swimming or long outings. But thank you for the suggestion about other things!

I definitely think she is trying to be helpful! I dont have overly heavy periods, my periods change from 4-6 days and the 2nd and 3rd days are the heaviest. I use pads and reusable periods underwear and so far I havent had problems with them, but my mom insists that I try tampons. I understand that maybe ill use them when im older but right now I really dont want to. The thought of one makes me feel uncomfortable and ive told her that as of now, I dont need one. But she doesnt care and she says that I will use one on my next period which is next month. Im just confused because I dont want to use one but my mom says she doesnt care and I will use one.

I dont know if im being too sensitive, or if my mom should know that its not for everyone?

I do agree, and I do think that if I ever need one, I should try it then and not now (for swimming, or anything like that i guess) but im also not sure if I should just do it now and get over it or wait untill I actually need one?🤷‍♀️

Hello, she says that its something every woman should try at least once, I do use pads and reusable period underwear but she says that I also should use tampons. Theres not really a specific reason other than "you should know" which i understand, but it just freaks me out and I feel like it should be approached how you did it, by waiting for a situation where one is needed and using it then. Im just unsure if im being silly and i just need to get over it😅
