Basically, my mum wants to know about my period and stuff. I dunno why. She says its because she wants to 'help me' and give me 'advice'. So with her advice (with pads) I get all leaky and icky and so depressed, leaving me with stains EVERYWHERE. She always warned me not to use tampons (probably cause of TSS and she says im too young - im 12) but I went against her wishes and bought them. But they are tremendous, non-leaky, and no one knows you've got them on. I love them, but my mums gonna find out sooner or later with her 'overprotectedness'. What can I do to let her back off? Im ok with my tampons and don't need her going on about how I should use pads and NOT tampons. Its leaving me with no choice but to just scream and cry and feel depressed. Shes too much into my life.

Tampons

You're depressed over pads and tampons???? Many people should be so lucky. There's no reason for everyone to get excited over it. Just tell your mom that you use them. If you want to be smart about it, you'll do some research on the web and show her that it's OK to use.

Tampons are great!! i got my period when i was really young.. 11.. and i started using tampons when i was 13.. my moms idea! I was scared of TSS.. but i was more scared of putting it in.. i remember yelling to my mom "I THINK I JUST LOST MY VIRGINITY!!" hahah it was jokes

i remember yelling to my mom "I THINK I JUST LOST MY VIRGINITY!!"That was probably true

I'm male so i don't really understand. but i was under the impression that the medical community suggested not using tampons at such an early age? if you do the research and it proves that it's safe for you to use tampons then you should show the research to your mum and if she still objects you should talk to your doctor and find out what they think. if your doctor approves then maybe he or she can call your mum and calm some of her anxieties down. i know hearing advice about tampons from a guy must be weird, but i dunno I like to help people when i can.

LOL my mom was like that too.. but i went against her wishes at bought them. before i would just leave them in my room and not expect her to see them. but once she found them im like whatever. its not like your mom will forbid you not to use them. i suggest letting her find out on her own. and if she questions you always have the excuse that she let you use them in the first place you wouldnt have to hide them

Do some research online that proves TSS isn't just from tampons and that it's not so likely. It's only when u use extra absorption that it can happen really easily. Tell her you don't need help with your period, and if you did, you'd ask. Tell her it's bugging you how messy pads are and how insecure it makes you feel. Say "mom, times have changed, get with the program" lol, i always tell my mom that.

I made a tampon gun out of a pen spring and tape once, shot it off in biology
