Dear Iris,
My twins are nearly nine, and they're maturing rapidly: breasts
are enlarging and body hair is becoming evident. I've talked with them
about menstruation, and I want to have some products in the house in
case they begin menstruating in the next six to 12 months or so. My
question is: what is the best product to start them on? And when can a
girl start using tampons?
Thanks,
Deb
Dear Deb,
I suggest you start them with Always Ultrathin Pads with wings.
After a few cycles they may be ready for tampons, but this is an
individual decision. They must be able to understand the proper use of
tampons and be able to insert the tampon into their vaginas. Then I
suggest you use Tampax Satin regular tampons or Tampax Lites. See
www.beinggirl.com for more info.
Good luck
Iris
