  • Lol LVB.

  • Ugh, as I was raised by my dad it was BAD. I got mine in 8th grade maybe? I wasn't 'allowed' to wear a tampon because he said guys wouldn't think I was a virgin when I got married. Wat?

  • LVB- HAHAHA That story is awesome. I love that he felt he needed to make it up to you.

    Birdie- Third grade! *high five*
  • Birdie- I was 9 when I started.

  • At least the convo was profitable, LVB! MK - this may be a stupid question but were you surprised about your dad?
  • I got mine in 6th. I can't imagine getting it in elementary school. 
  • Yay MT! (Can I call you that?)

    I remember being in a bathroom stall in 5th grade and overhearing a couple girls making fun of a classmate who had a tampon in her purse. I was mortified because I think I was using them by then as well.
  • I was a late bloomer I was 13 or 14 when I got mine.

  • The first time I used a tampon (when I wasn't allowed to), I put the whole thing in there. I had no idea you were supposed to take the applicator out. I didn't have anyone to ask and I couldn't understand the directions.

  • 1st day of 8th grade. I had no clue what was going on. I skipped the video in 5th grade and never talked about it with mom or friends. Girlfail.
  • Ahah Birdie, you can call me whatever you like, baby..... That was supposed to be a Pretty Woman reference but I don't think it really worked.


  • Loopy I need a new one too. I'd prefer a bullet though. The vibrator I have is too big and uncomfortable. I bought it with an ex and it came with a bullet. I always preferred those over virbrators anyway. (Will that get the prude knotties up in arms?)

    <div>ME TOO!! Damn confusing instructions. And it was hurting so much and I called my mom and work and she had to explain to me over the phone, haha.</div>

  • Nope. Glad I figured it. It turned me off them for awhile!

  • i once spent 2 hours with one of my friends in a bathroom in a hotel in the bahamas trying to teach her how to insert a tampon.

  • I don't remember what my mom told me about tampons/pads.  At one point (before I started) she showed me where she kept stuff in her bathroom.  But there wasn't any instruction involved in that that I remember.  I swam competitively year round, so I had to use tampons right away.  I remember reading the directions in the bathroom alone and being kind of "huh???" about how that was supposed to work.  I hope H and I can be more open about it with our kids when the time comes.

    Not "really". But understand that we had been living with him and his then partner (the guy I refer to as my step dad) since I was about 8 or 9. When my mom's MS got bad and she had to stay in a nursing home full time we moved in with him and my SD. They were togther for 15 years. I was so young that at first my SD was "someone to help dad pay the bills" because he was now essentially a single parent.

    I don't think there ever was a flat out conversation where he came out to us, we just kind of figured it out. Especially once he gave up his room in the house for me to sleep in and he starting sleeping in my SD's room.

    Kind of funny story though: I apparently outed my dad to our mom and didn't even know it, I was talking about the new house we were moving into and I said, "There's a room for the younger girls, a room for the older girls, a room for the boys, and a room for Dad and SD." (SD had three kids of his own, but the mom had majority custody). That's when my mom figured it out.

    I did ask him once if he married my mom because he thought it was the "right thing to do, " or "would change him". He knew since high school he was gay, but he said my mother was the only woman he ever loved. Eventually he couldn't keep holding back who he was so they separated when I was about 5.

  • A city about 60 miles from me just had a funnel cloud spotted.

    I know this is nothing really serious but they don't happen here that often so its kinda unnerving to see it so close to home.

  • I don't know what I would have done if my mom hadn't shown me..
    I started right before summer and I loved to swim. I had to start using them right away. My mom is really open with sex and everything though so she was so great!
