About every 4 hours unless you need to earlier.

Basically you don't leave it too long due to hygene reasons but sometimes you will have a heavier flow and you will find that you will need to change more frequently or else you might get leakage.

Have you talked to your mother about getting your period?

I got my first one a month before my 12th birthday... must be something about periods and turning 12 haha
