My dd is off on holiday with my mum for 3 weeks, she is 11 and I have a feeling she is going to start her periods soon. The signs are there and most women in my family start at around this age (I was 10).
Dd and I discussed this and thought it would be agood idea to buy a few bits just in case,here is my problem. She is insistant that she wants to use tampons not towels she says she finds the idea horrible and it would be like wearing a dirty nappy. I know what she means I hate them. I have brought her a box of the super light lilets without an applicator. Now a friend has said she doesnt think they should be used for the first few years.
Could anyone let me know if this is right or not, I think I used them after about a year or so.
