I was 11 and we were on a trip to holland - thank god my mom had good instincts b/c she had packed some pads for me - I think I started tampons the next cycle and no body "taught" me mom told me the box had directions in it - read and try LOL I figured it out -

OMG I don't want to go here with girls - mine is still tiny thankfully

She's lucky to have a mom like you.  My mom would not even talk about menstruation or sex.  Thank God I had an older sister who was willing to educate me.  The only conversation my mom and I ever had about it included her telling me that if I used tampons I would not be a virgin.  Can you imagine? 

I can assure you, my daughter was well educated in advance of starting her period.  She started using tampons right away because we went to Schlitterbahn the next day. 

I'm also grateful that feminine hygiene products have evolved.  No more sanitary belts is a good thing. 

My Mom was the same way!! My Good Sister helped me out, it was Easter Sunday and I had a friend over. However the next morning I found a pamplet all about "it" next to my bed! Went in to thank Mom and she swore she didn't leave iit for me! I told her that I guss it was the menstruation fairy that left it!!!

Hi Mel, what works well for my teenager and the only thing she will use is 
Playtex Sport Regular.  They aren't too big and uncomfortable.  I had the same feelings you had in the beginning.  All my friends asked how I liked wearing pads and convinced me right away that tampons are the way to go.  Good luck.  I'll soon have two more starting soon too.
