I don't have [sanitary pads/tampons] and I'm too embarrassed to tell the cute people I should tell.

Look, there's absolutely no problem with being embarrassed, it's super normal. Lots of girls feel this way, like, it's a topic we don't talk about all the time, right?

Who to talk to

The most important thing is that you feel safe to talk. Think about someone you trust a lot, like:

• Your mom

• Your grandma

• An aunt

• An older sister

• A cousin

• An older friend

• A friend's mom

• A teacher at school whom you like

Sometimes, we think it's going to be super awkward, but when we talk about it, the person already expected it and even helps! I swear, it's a relief. And if the first person isn't the best, try another one, okay? The important thing is to have someone to help you.

What to do before

If you don't feel ready to talk yet, that's okay too! You can, like, research more about the topic on [Sosô's blog] and in the app, to get more information and feel more prepared. And when you're menstruating, the Sosô app can help you track how you're feeling, like mood, cramps, energy, and even flow. This way, you'll get to know your body better.
