12 for me 12 seems to be the average age... interesting and i think there should probably be a warning on the thread title so the guys don't get grossed out =P
i was 13 when i had mine. but one of my closest friends got hers when she was 15 shes lucky not for nothing. but when it comes to pad always is the best. and tampons i go for tampax pearls cause its not cheap
ok think i started when i was 11 yrs n i think my older sister about 12. Heard starting age is younger these days cos of evolution etc, cos back many yrs, average age was around 15. Totally prefer tampons (tampax) cos ST just gets in the way, and for when i'm finishing, i use panty liners (Alldays) cos they are less bulky n more comfortable. And my period nearly kills me every mth, cramps, backpain, wat feels like enlarged kidneys, hot flushes, bloating, water retention.......the lot!
I've start getting mine when I was in 5th grade, probably 11. Never liked the moment when periods come, always a pain in the neck. I prefer using Kotex.
i got mine when i was 12 i think... and i use pads; i like the Always brand, i never used tampons because i dont really have a heavy flow
my first menstruation when I was 12. Still remember how proud I was then. I don't use tampon, tried that for like a week and stop using it. Just don't feel comfortable having my dirty blood inside soaking .
i think mine was 12 or 13.. cant rmb now.. but yea i think thats tha average age? but depends on the person, someone said they didnt get their P. until 16? a teacher told us even 19!!!... maybe the teacher lied to us.. hmmm
blantant lie, im sorry i had to look at this thread, i was intrigued by the title. no one menstruates at such a late age. u start menstruating in puberty which is about 10-13 i think for girls.
i got mine when i was 11 almost turning 12.. eee.. i hate pads in the summer.. i actually stopped wearing them. but the overnight pads... tampons are so much more comfortable. you should at least give it a try. em i use tampax pearl and playtex. usually super for the first few days then either regular/light the next few days. and at the end i use the pantyliners..
what are the differences between tampons and pads, is it tampons absorb all the blood and stuff whereas a pad collects it?
i had mine when i was 11. I use always since tampons r pretty scary but ill propable use them when i get older
