Can you help me please.
My 13 year old GD started periods at age 11 years and has used pads ever since.
She is at secondary school now and is virtually the only girl in her form who does not use internal protection.
She has asked for my help in choosing and using Tampax style products as school pals have not been forthcoming.
My DS is a single Dad ... there is no Mum on the scene. Aunties live too far away to actively help.
I am almost eighty and my Tampax days are a distant dream.
I do not know what to buy for her as she is so young. I am sure products have been updated.
Can anyone advise me?
Thank-you.

So get her both to try. For me tampax applicator ones were the only type that worked. But there are much more on the market not including more natural chemical free tampons
