at camp!!? I'll be 14, and I've had my period for almost 2 years now, but I'm still uneasy about it. What do you do when you have your period at camp? I mean all you do is swim and play games and run around! It's not like you can go back to the cabin all the time. Please help! I really do want to go to camp!
 
okay so don't sweat it just try to remember when the last time you got your period was.
also if you go swimming just use a tampon.
if you dont know how to use one ask your mom.
and as you see on t.v. just get the sport tampons.
or it there are different sessions you could go to a different session.
 
Lucky me, I've had my period since I was 8 years old, and have been going to camp since I was 6. I go for two weeks & for some reason the period fairy always picks then to visit. Just go along with how you would regularly have your period. Pack a box of tampons if you use them or a box of pads. Just be prepared, if your not the nurse will surely be prepared for you. Don't let your period ruin your summer!
 
Don't let your period ruin your fun!
Periods suck! There's no doubt about that.
But this is all the advice i can give:

-take plenty of pain medicine with you (naproxen sodium and aleve work the best for me!!)
-wear tampons for swimming. if you aren't comfortable with tampons, just skip out on swimming.
-REMEMBER! you said that this is a FOUR week camp, your period will only last a few days! so just tough it out the best you can, okay?

Periods get in my way sometimes, but i'm trying to cope with them too.
