Too embarrassed to ask for tampons?!


Question: Too embarrassed to ask for tampons.?
so I decided that I'm just gonna write my mom a note & tell her i want to use tampons.i just can't say it out loud.she has some under the sink in her bathroom that have never been opened or anything & i know she bought around the time i first told her about my period (about a year ago) but she hasn't given them to me.i'm pretty sure they're not for her b/c i know she uses o.b. super plus & these are tampax pearl regulars.so i want to write her note saying i want to use tampons hoping that she will find it in the morning & just leave the tampons in my room.i just wanted some ideas on what i should put in the note & how i should word it.

btw im 15 & a sophomore in high school & this wouldn't bother me so much if i didn't have p.e. this semester.i don't want people to see my pad will i'm changing clothes & tampons would be so much easier to run & play volleyball in & all the other games we play in p.e.

& she buys me pads without me having to ask for them & just leaves them in my room.i never talk to her about my period or anything really personal.Health Question & Answer

just say "mom, i'd like to try tampons for a change. i think it will b more comfortable especially for p.e. at school and i was wondering if u could get some for me at the store..thanks"Health Question & Answer

Tampons are much easier and much more comfortable... All girls get their period, its nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed of, just say what you just wrote here about them being easier for school and PE classes...

If you must write a note, just say "Dear Mom, was just wondering if next time your shopping would you be able to buy me some tampons rather then pads, Love you thanks".

Ir just go an take the tampons from her room, she will understand lolHealth Question & Answer

Dude if your mom uses tampons, she should be cool enough to understand your situation. She is already nice enough to get you pads. Like the others say, just tell your mom pads are messy to use especially during p.e. at school and you want to try tampons out. It's so much better, i'll tell you that. I used pads when I was younger and it's messy and tampons are much better.

Good luck!Health Question & Answer

Just ask, "Mom, can I start using tampons.?"
I've never had to ask before, but if she asks why tell her what you told us. :D <my mom let me use tampons from the beginning, maybe your mom was waiting for you to ask her so you could use those tampons... when you finish those get Playtex Sport... my mom uses o.b. too!>Health Question & Answer

I was scared too, so I went grocery shopping with my mom and just put some and put them in the cart without saying anything. She will understand you are embarrassed and you will get the tampons you need.Health Question & Answer

When I asked my mom if I could use tampons she told me no because I hadn't had sex yet. I don't really know if it's a good idea if you haven't had sex. You might ask a doctor before you do try to use them.Health Question & Answer

Just tell her that you have phys. ed. and the pads are uncomfortable. Don't write a note.
5 year-olds do that.Health Question & Answer

Why do you need to ask.? If she bought them for you, then just start using them. Don't write a note, if you NEED to ask, just say, Mom I'm going to use the tampons you bought for me. You obviously dont talk to her about personal things so I guess you would know whether she'll ask you "Why.?". So just start using them, she shouldnt need to know WHY. If she does, say you have gym and feel uncomfortable using pads. That's all, it shouldn't be such a big deal.Health Question & Answer

Honey PLEASE. You sound like a wonderful, nice young lady- but believe me- asking your mom for some tampons shoudlnt be that big of a deal. After all you are a young woman of 15. I know that talking about these kind of things is hard sometimes, but in the scheme of things this is not major. You will be just fine. However if you want to go the note approach, thats cool too, I am sure your mother will read it and place the tampons in your room as she does with your pads. Believe me, its okay. If you can muster it talk to your mom about it- it will make it easier when you need to talk to her about something more serious down the road. Take care of yourself girl!Health Question & Answer
