    Remember if you have the pads with the long flaps which are visible when you get changed, cut them off to make them unnoticeable. If you want to keep the wings, try wearing underwear the same colour as the pads so they're camouflaged.

    Say if in PE you have to wear a large jumper for sports, put that on first so it will cover the top of your legs and hide any noticeable parts of the pads.

    Consider using a tampon if you know you'll be changing in front of other girls and don't want them to notice you're wearing a pad. Tampons are not as noticeable through your underwear as a pad (and they stay in place better during sports)

    Go into a toilet cubicle to change! If anyone asks, say you had to use the bathroom, too.

    Note that if you really don't feel like doing PE, get your mother to write you a note to get you out of it. Just don't do it every month, people might catch on.

Tips

  • Try wearing 2 pairs of underwear to hide your "wings" on the pad.
  • Even though it might be embarrassing for people to know you have a period, you still shouldn't be ashamed of having periods - half the population of the world has them!
  • To be more confident about leakages, wear the thick pads, like night ones, and cut the flaps if they are too big.
