I didn’t stain I’m on day 2 of my first period and thought it was a great idea to wear grey sweatshorts I think I will stain

Outfit choices on your period can be tricky, especially on your first one. Sometimes you think you stained, but you didn't, and sometimes you think you're safe and then boom! A stain happens, and it's so annoying.

Since it's your first period, it's super normal for your flow to be a little unpredictable. You might have some days where it's heavier and others where it's really light, and that's okay. It’s also okay if you stain. It literally happens to everyone, and it's not a big deal.

To feel more confident and less worried about staining, you can try wearing darker bottoms during your period. Black shorts, dark jeans, or leggings are always a good idea. Also, remember to change your pad or tampon regularly, especially during the heavier days. You can also try period underwear; they are literally life-changing because they just catch everything without feeling like a diaper. Definitely check with a grown-up if you can get some.

If you're worried about staining while you're out, you can always tie a jacket or a sweater around your waist – it's like a secret shield, and it’s also a cute fashion accessory! And if you do stain, it happens to the best of us. Just know that it's a normal part of having a period, and you can always change if you can.
