So i am 11 3/4 yrs old and i have asked a question on this website before.. It is called 11 yr old, have not attained menarche , underdeveloped breasts, get pale pink discharge . Stomach aches regularly. Cause? and it was answered by dr.nikita Islam. You probably didn t need to know that. -_- Anyway I would like to have some advice about using pantiliners for heavy discharge if possible please? I would like to know if I am ready to use them (this is where reading my other question comes in handy?!) as in if my body is mature enough and if I am old enough. Towards the end of last year I had spotted a pack of pads that my mum had secretly bought me in case I start my periods. I told her I had found them and I asked her if I was aloud to use pantiliners only when my discharge is heavy (occasionally. And when its heavy it leaks through my underwear.) she told me I was too young and so she didn t want me using things like that at my age. :( personally I think she doesn t want me to wear them because she thinks I am growing up too fast and/or money wise. She told me just to keep tissue down there and I remember seeing my mum doing it when i was little. I have tried the tissue before but it still leaks through and its uncomfortable and sometimes it falls out the bottom of my trousers! :S I told her but she just sighed and didn t reply. (she does this quite a lot which infuriates me! :() anyway so I have never used a pad or pantiliner before and I know the effects that can happen from using a pantiliner every day but I will not use them every day.. Just every time its heavy so I leak. so basically I just want to know if my body is ready and if i am old enough to wear them and some ideal brands maybe?.. And just some regular information about how often i need to change them and things like that. also i dont know whether i should discuss this with my mum again?.. She does have a tendency to flip out when asked something more than once! :S :( or should i just buy some if i go shopping with my friend and her parent(s)??!!!... :-/ thank you for your help and please get back to me asap! :) bye. :)
