I didn't get my first period until I was almost 15. All my friends had got theirs years before. I was worried there was something wrong with me.
My periods as a teenager were great. Very regular and no pain whatsoever.
I only started having cramps as an adult, but only sometimes. I have heavy bleeding for a couple of days and then I'm ok. I bought this "period panties" on Amazon. They work for light or moderate bleeding, but for heavy bleeding I need tampons and just use them as back-ups. I still get my period very regularly ever 4 weeks. I'm 36.
I have thought about trying the diva cup, as I have heard good things about it. Has anyone tried it?
