I remembr when I was 13 and I got my period. I told my mom and she said finally! she got hers when she was 9!!She bought me some kotex pads and spray deodorant for my "area" ( i know.. how horrible) told me to light spray the outside of my underwear No idea what she was thinking! Anyway She and I have my sisters children one being a girl that is now 10 years old. I have a feeling she's gonna get her period soon and i just wanna make it more of a loving celebration and healthy experience for her. Anyone have any ideas? I thought maybe a womyn-box with a mix of products/book/small gifts and of course I want to take her out to dinner and talk to her about it like "grown women" Any suggestions? Anything you wish your MOM would have done? Thanks in advance..

You're luck then! I could only used the "slim" tampons back when I used disposable products. All the other ones hurt too much, even on my really heavy days. Super absorbent? Fageddaboutit!

I adore my Mooncup now! No more pain.

Really? I think I remember mine hurting once because it wasn't in far enough...

When I first started using one, people told me it would hurt, but it just "slid right in," and I was definitely OK with bypassing any pain. :)

Well, for me at least it's not about the position, it's about insertion. I'm sure if I used plastic applicators, it would be fine, but I don't want to. Everybody's different.
