My little sister has been complaining of tummy pain for a day or two and was constantly craving chocolate. Today we were hanging out with our brothers and I noticed a huge brown spot between her legs on her blue pants. I pulled her into our room and made her change then sent her to the washroom to see if she noticed anything on her undies. Nope. She got changed and the day goes by. We were just getting ready for bed and she went to the washroom and yelled for me. I looked at the tissue and noticed the familiar pink tinge. I checked her underwear and sure enough, seems like she’d been on her period all day (like me when I first got mine except I kept changing underwear as I thought I was continuously pooping myself). She didn’t notice because her underwear was dark in color. We ran excitedly to our mother and they’re both having a talk now.

I’m a cup user and my mom no longer has periods but thankfully I have some pads. Unfortunately they’re the huge mile long ones, I don’t even know how they’d fit. It’s almost 11pm, I’m sure she would survive with it until tomorrow. I have a Stayfree wingless maxi pad which is a bit smaller but obviously thicker. Seeing that she bled through two pairs of pants does it mean that she has a heavy flow? I have a light flow so I’m not too sure what a heavy one looks like. I used it when I first got mine but I was 12 when I got it, same for our mom. She’s practically a baby in my eyes. Poor thing... I’m so excited right now especially as my period is due any day now! She’s my only sister so it’s pretty cool to have someone in the same boat now.
