sexi agony auntHi

I am 19 and i used sanitary towels up until 2 months ago.I decided to use tampons but i had no advice from my mum.I followed the instructions on the box coz my mum doesnt use tampons. Just be glad you mum is open. The best friend that you can have is your mum.

Regards

deejuliet agony auntyes, it is your moms job to show you these things. I know it is emnbarrassing, but it is not something you should go to friends about or try to figure out on your own. Your mom can answer all your questions about your changing body, sex and sexuality, boys and all those crazy hormones and dating issues. She has been there, done that, and is the one person in the world who will wholeheartedly be on your side no matter what.

Hi there

Yes this is what a good mum does! Mine did and it is a bit embarrassing but don't feel funny it is quite normal, but just that sort of thing girls don't talk about. Your mum is onto it, your lucky you have a mum like that! And isn't it nice to know your "normal!"

88jane agony aunthey hunny!! dont worry, a lot of people find out these things from their parents! im one of them! my mum showed me how to use tampons, she also bought me my first condoms! i personally think its great that your mum chats with you about this sort of thing try not to be embarassed!! your mum obviously wants to have a close relationship with you! it is embarassing at first but it gets easier, i promise!

the yellow stain in your pants could be discharge! this is perfectly normal, however if it changes colour or starts to smell horrible then consult the doctor!!

take care hun
