When will I start my period? |
| Again, there’s no such thing as an exact age when you will start your menstrual cycle. You start your periods sometime during puberty – it can be as young as 8 years old or as late as 17. Clues that you’re close to starting menstruation include developing breasts, growing pubic hair and experiencing a white or yellowish vaginal discharge. Girls these days are maturing earlier than ever but it’s still worth asking your mum when she started as you’re likely to get your first period at a similar age. Don’t panic about which period protection you should use. Many girls start off using pads. Your first period will probably be fairly light but it makes sense to choose a trusted brand like Always® Ultra. It’s also a good idea keep a pad or two hidden in your bag or school locker – so won’t be caught by surprise if your period arrives unexpectedly. |
