Hey everyone. I've already had my first period and I got it on the 2nd, 2 days before my 12th birthday lol. Anyway its not that heavy or that light and I wanted 2 no how often I should change my pad. :o

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
