If you can’t change right away, try tying a sweater or jacket around your waist. Change your clothes as soon as you can. Rinse your clothes as soon as possible so your clothes don’t stain.
Menstrual pads and tampons come in different absorbencies. Choose the right one for you. Try using a calendar or app to track your periods so you’re not caught by surprise. You can carry extra pads or tampons in your bag or locker or ask a teacher or another adult for help. Some people choose to wear darker clothing when they’re having their period or when it’s due.
