I told my mom that I have sticky stuff in my underwear and she looked into the air and she told me don't use stuff without her permission

Okay so that sticky stuff is totally normal, it's called discharge! It's actually a super good sign that your body is getting ready for your period, like in the next 6 months to a year. It's your body's way of cleaning itself and staying healthy down there.

There's no special "stuff" you need to use for discharge, but some people like to wear a pantyliner just to keep their underwear feeling dry. Pantyliners are like super thin pads, really just for discharge, not for periods. You definitely don't need to use them, but if you want to try one, you can totally ask your mom for permission! Or maybe just show her what it is first so she knows it's not a big deal.

Having discharge is one of the big signs your body is changing and your first period is getting closer. You can take a quiz to find out more about how close your first period might be right here: how close is my first period?
