Soso answered
Pads and period underwear are totally suitable for your first period, and they are super easy to use once you know the basics.
How to use pads
Most people start with pads because they just stick right onto your underwear, so there is nothing to insert. You peel off the paper backing, press the sticky side onto the middle of your underwear, and if it has wings, wrap those flaps around the underneath part to keep it in place. Change your pad every 4 to 6 hours, sooner on heavy days. When you take it off, roll it up in toilet paper or the wrapper from your new one and put it in the bin, never flush it down the toilet.
How to use period underwear
Period underwear looks and feels like regular underwear, but it has special built-in layers that absorb your flow. You put them on just like normal knickers, wear them through the day, and then put them in the laundry basket to be washed.
Most people bleed for 3 to 7 days, and a first period can be much shorter and lighter. Tell a grown-up if you need a new pad or tampon every 1 to 2 hours, your period lasts more than 7 days, you pass clots bigger than about 2.5 cm, blood leaks through to your clothes or bed, you miss normal things because of your period, or you feel tired or out of breath a lot.
