How much usually are pads and tampons?

Okay so pads and tampons can be kind of different prices, but usually a box is like $5-$10. It totally depends on the brand, how many you get in the box, and where you buy them too. Bigger boxes are usually a better deal by unit, but sometimes you just need a small one.

Like, a small pack of pads might be around $4, but a jumbo box could be like $12 and last you way longer. Same for tampons, except sometimes tampons are a little bit more expensive than pads. Store brand ones are usually cheaper and work just as well, honestly. It's really smart to try some different kinds to see what you like best before you stock up.

Good thing is, these are things your parents probably already buy or can easily add to their next shopping list. So just tell a trusted grown-up what you need and they can help you out with getting some. It's totally normal to ask them for stuff like this, because literally everyone who gets a period needs them!
