Periods. Another word for periods is menstruation. Most girls start their period between the age of 10 and 16. Some girls start earlier, some later. It’s important to remember that not all girls have periods. All girls are different and unique. rshp.scot

What is a Period? When a girl goes through puberty her ovaries release an egg every month. For a few days each month blood and other fluids pass out through the girl’s vagina. There can be some fluids called pre-period discharge before the period starts. This is completely normal. rshp.scot

Periods When a girl has her period she wears a sanitary towel or tampon or menstrual cup to absorb the fluid. rshp.scot

A girl will need to change her sanitary towel or tampon a few times a day. Used sanitary wear should go in the bin. rshp.scot

The average blood loss is around 1-2 egg cups full but it can look like more. If someone is losing a lot of blood they should see their doctor. rshp.scot

Some girls might experience pain or discomfort during their period. If you have any questions or worries about periods, you should talk to an trusted adult. rshp.scot

After starting to have her periods a girl can become pregnant if she has sexual intercourse. If she has sex, she will need to use contraception to prevent pregnancy. rshp.scot

In Scotland, all girls and women can get sanitary towels or tampons at school or college for free. This is because it is unfair that girls and women have to pay for something that is essential for them when they have their periods. The Scottish Government gives the money for this to the Council and then the products are available where young people learn. rshp.scot
