Here's a couple tips to help girls with their periods.
1.) Never keep a pad on for more than 8 hours. It's very unsanitary, therefor you should take a shower every night while having your period. Try changing your pad every time you go to the bathroom, so you will stay clean.
2.) Wear thick, dark colored shorts/pants while having your period. If you wear light or thin pants/shorts, your period might leak. To prevent leaks, try changing your pad more often.
3.) Keep a pad with you everywhere you go. You never know when your period could happen. It could happen a days, a week, or even a month after it's supposed to come.
4.) Try not to swim while having your period. First off, it will ruin your swim suit, and second you might leak into the pool.
5.) If you have your period at school or a place where you are in need of a pad, tell a teacher whether it's a man or a woman. They will understand and let you go to the nurse and get one. If it happens at home, tell a parent.
I hope these tips will help some of you with your periods, because they helped me a ton!
