When I first got my period I was in junior high school. I was paranoid that the blood would leak through my pad to my pants. So, I would wear 3 pairs of panties just to be certain that there would be no blood stains on my pants. Thinking back.......It must of have looked funny.......I was petit and for 4 days out of every month for 2 years my bum would grow and then go back to normal size!
