Q Period help ? Thanks !? Im 13 years old and i got my first period the 6th of this month. Then it started again on the 24th (i know twice in a month). Anyways the thing is today it got so much heavier than before ! I used panty liners , and it went like over them and past the pants ! When normally they dont even get covered .:s anyways , im wearing 2 - 3 now so its thicker but i dont want it to leak at school or when i sleep. Please any advice on how to be careful not to have it leak? And how often to change them? Thanks.
It is normal to have irregular periods during the initial months, so you need not worry about getting the second period too early. Please note that panty liners are only meant to absorb white discharge from the vagina or during the end of the period when the flow is very light. During a menstrual period, you should be using a sanitary napkin. Very good ones are available in the market and will not cause you to leak if used correctly. Take help of an elder sister/mom/relative to choose one that suits you. It is recommended to change a napkin every 6 hours. However, you can shorten or lengthen this duration depending upon the flow. Once you are older, you can also start using tampons intermittently.
