Girls only please.

Ok if you have your period during school, what if it goes through your blue jeans or white shorts?

That's why you wear a pad or a tampon. But if you are worried, you can also keep a spare change of clothes in your locker that you can change into if there is leakage.

Try thick pads. They help for me. Be sure to change them at least 3 times. One b4 lunch. After. And before you leave. It's tough I'll admit. And messy. But it will be okay:). Good luck!!!

like Sephira said, you should wear a pad or tampon..always keep them in your bag everyday in case of accidents. But if it happen unexpected and dont have anything, then you can tie a jacket around your waste to cover and go to the nurse if they have any extra clothes , they should have a tampon or a pad

Tell your friend to check if you're stained every time you get up. And never wear white jeans while on your period.

Quick, bathroom!! You can roll paper towels in a tampon shape & use that. Just a temporary fix. Get home quick.

Sure way to get a yeast infection is to roll up a totally unsanitary paper towel that will in addition leave bits and pieces of itself inside your very sensitive organ. Idiocy. Reading the advice on this page, I really want to ask how old you girls are.

Ever been hard up? In an emergency, it's better than bleeding all over yourself! Get a life nebulae!

Well, what she says is true. If she's getting her periods, she should use toilet paper as a pad, not as a tampon.
And nebulae, if you ask how old, we're teens. Don't know for you or for some others, but lots of answers are from teens. I hope that answered your question that is as silly as Alrightythen s answer (no offense, both of you I guess)

You bring an extra pair of pants and I advise to not wear light colored pants. If it does go through tell a teacher (even if it's a guy) and ask to go to the nurse

Oh hun i've had that happen to me before. Its super embarrassing. Just if you know the time is coming up use a tampon or pad before it happens.. If you have an unpredictable one like i do then carry extra pants around. I had to do that my first year because i still couldn't tell when it was going to happen... Its really hard when that happens. Good luck hun!

This is a terrible advice. Tampons should never ever be used when you are not menstruating, and even when you are, you should pick the least absorbency tampon that you can get away with. The latter is written on every package. These things are not to be overused. Also, do not buy those commercial ones, that are filled with horrible, irritating chemicals that you then put in the most sensitive and vulnerable part of your body. Use instead Seventh Generation ones, made of organic cotton with no additives, or any other natural ones you'll find in a health food store. The price difference is negligible.

If you don't know when to expect your period, try not to wear white shorts or pants. Blood in blue jeans isn't as noticable. If you're worried, keep some spare shorts with you or in your locker, or a sweater that you can tie around your waist.

Always and I mean ALWAYS keep a change of clothes in your locker. It could even be a milk spill on your shirt. Always keep a t-shirt, shorts, and jeans or sweatpants and a sweatshirt. One day my friend "leaked" through her uniform skirt and we had to go through the old uniform section and find one for her.

I had it go through my navy blue shorts during math class when I was sitting right behind my boyfriend. It went through to the seat. It was really embarrassing, but he hugged me and said not to worry about it. The teacher let me borrow her jacket to go down to the nurse

Nothing is worse than the unexpected period. Wait until you get older. In any case always be prepared--although difficult at times. But all this is natural. Don't worry if it happens. Or any other accident

Like milk? That happened to me, my milk was close to the end of the table and spilled on my pants. It looked like i wet my pants. So i quickly ran to the girls locker room and put on my gym shorts. I was cooled for the rest of the day...

You should always have an extra pad or tampon in your locker and NEVER wear white pants or shorts! If you dont have one, go to the bathroom and use toilet paper as a temporary fix. The nurse will have something you can use too. Good luck and i hope that doesnt happen!! :)

You could just keep a mark on the calendar for when you get it and when you off of it and kind of keep track of that and see how often you get it so you know when to be prepared for it

Keep the tampon in, also a thick one. If for example, it goes on your jeans or what ever you're wearing, ask a friend and kindly ask for a jacket (if someone has one). Go to the bathroon first and put down some toilet paper on the underwear, then if you don't want anyone to know, go ask the teacher to see the nurse. Then ask for a pad, or tampon. (Better if it was a female teacher ^.^) They should let you change or put on the thing.

Hope I helped!! :)

Change your tampon and always wear a pantie liner or a small pad with it (Periods are extremely unpredictable :P) ! I pack an extra pair of underwear and shorts in my locker too cause the nurses stuff is nastyc:

Bless your heart. Plan ahead! You should be able to feel different when its time. Carry a change of clothes. If you are regular, you could wear a pad to be sure. This happened to me as an adult: I had fibroids which often unexpectedly caused severe bleeding. I was speaking b/f a group of nurses and wearing a white pantsuit. Well, suddenly I was covered with blood from the waist down. I had to leave the podium wearing a garbage bag! God Bless you and good luck.

It's plan and simple, weather your not aware of it coming. Be prepared, by bringing a pad/tampon. Or hide it up with a jacket by tieing it around your waist.

I would suggest to bring an extra pair of panties and bluejeans, etc. But make sure that they are a dark colored pair.. I would also keep a box of pads or tampons in my locker or purse. Thats what I do. But I can usually tell before I start mine and I will use a tampon that morning so their isnt any accidents, even if im not on it, ik the times comming. Hope this helps. (:

Always prefer to wear some dark colored clothes during your date time, keeps pads in your bags and in your locker but unfortunately in case if you have started before your dates you have no option other then change your blue jeans and white shorts.

Soak blood stained clothing in ice water to remove stains. Keep a spare change of clothes in your locker. Learn to wear something other than white the week of your period. Preferably dark colored shorts, pants, skirts. Always carry extra pads/tampons. You may need to wear both on heavy flow days.

You should bring an extra pair every day. But if this happens and you don't have an extra pair, I was always told to get your best friend to walk behind you to the nurse and call your parents.
