I have just had my first period at 10 and know how to ask mum for some tampons pads?
Here are a few suggestions on how you can ask your mom for some tampons or pads:
- Choose a time when your mom is relaxed and not busy.
- Be direct and honest. Tell her that you got your first period and need some pads or tampons.
- If you're feeling nervous, you can write her a note or send her a text message.
- Be prepared to answer any questions she may have. She might want to know how you're feeling or if you need anything else.
- If you're comfortable, you can ask if you'd be able to buy them or use any at the house for the time being.
- Reassure her that this is a normal part of growing up and that you're not alone.
Here are some example sentences you could use:
- "Mom, I got my first period and I need some pads or tampons."
- "I'm not sure what to do, but I think I need some period products. Can you help me?"
- "I want to buy some tampons or pads. Could you show me where they are in the store?"
- "Can I have a couple of tampons or pads from your supply? I'm trying to prepare ahead for my next period if possible."
Remember, your mom is there to help you and support you. She'll be understanding and want to make sure you have what you need.
