Did your Mom talk to you about your period?

    My mum told my sister that blood was going to come soon, that it was normal, and that she'd have to wear "knicker fresheners" when it happened.

    Ha! Knicker fresheners. Still, it's better than fairy hammocks.

    I think it's a bit cruel to let a girl have her first period before telling her it's going to happen.

      I'd take it further than "a bit cruel". It's downright abusive.

      Haha, knicker fresheners? What on Earth?

      I had to figure out how to use a tampon when I had my first period. I was 10, and I wasn't allowed to miss swim practice for something as trivial as that.
