Um, okay- My mom teases me about puberty in a way that makes me hesitant to ask questions about it. I get embrassed and therefore I keep my questions to my myself (well, I go online). Anyways, I want to try that diva cup thing but I'm too shy to ask. I'm also too embrassed to ask for normal supplies even when my mom asks if I have enough. I been running really low on supplies-to the point of using paper towels and going to be bathroom between every class at school...and I can't take it anymore. I even skipped gymnastics practice (even though I really wanted to go) because it was too uncomfortable and obvious with the supplies I needed. I also have a stash of clothes under my bed that I been hiding from my mom that have blood on them because I'm too embrassed to throw it in the wash. How can I get the nerve to ask my mom for something? Thanks.
(I was wondering if I should email her at work rather than talk face to face-I think writing tends to be easier for me...)

Just keep in mind that your mom also has a period. She was once your age and had to deal with everything that you had to deal with. If she asks you whether you need more supplies, then that tells you that she wouldn't get freaked out if you asked her about some things, right?
Next time she teases you, maybe you can say something like "Mom, I know you're just teasing me, but I feel really embarrassed about this. It would make me feel better if you didn't make jokes about my body."

I'll try. I know she dealt with it and everything but I still feel shy about it. I guess you're right about the fact that she won't go nuts if she asked me for anything...

I always feel awkward about saying, "Mom, I need pads" But I always try to keep an extra box of them around. I always get bloodstains. Once you see them, try to get it off, by hand, with soup and water, ASAP. so it wont be an a$$ to get off! Just ask though, what can she possible do?"haha, you have your period!" Well, so does she!, or, she did

I just emailed my mom and asked for stuff Well, the thing is, most of the bloodstains happen at school (in which I cover with a jacket or sweatshirt) or it happens during the night and is dried by morning-though I'll remember that. You are right about how hard they are to get off! When I first got my period, she kept saying, "My baby's growing up!" in an embrassing way (well, to me). Maybe it's just the tone of her voice, or maybe I'm worrying to much (which is probably more likely )

I love parents I'm embarrassed too, so I just buy them myself It's easier that way... unless theres a fit guy at the checkout. which is just aggravating.

Trust me, I have pants who are screwed, I first had my period in a sex ed class (amazing huh!) And those pants and underwear are done! Thankfully it was last period! Hey, don't throw it in the wash, try to get it out by hand. And SPIT on it! Your DNA will take of your DNA.

I would buy my own if I could drive..
I'll try those getting out blood stain tips too..
Oh yeah, my mom replied to my email, saying ok. I asked her not to say anything to me face to face. So she came home from work and acted like normal. I was convinced that she had totally forgotten my request until I was about to crawl into bed. I noticed on my bed was a box of tampons. I was surprised-she didn't say one thing or did anything to embrass me. Thanks guys for encouraging me to ask...I feel better now.

You can always sneek it on the grocery list or leave a little note where you know where SHE will only look and make up a saying like " Mom, Its Time" so you dont have to put the actual words
