[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd got her first period when she was just 10. I really hate how whenever someone posts a thread like this, some fool starts asking about organic diets, milk etc. There is no scientific evidence for this and [b]you aren't smugly protecting your daughters from the horrors of menstruation by buying expensive beef.[/b]

OP, my dd hates pads and used tampons right away. You want to look for the brands that have "20% slimmer" or similar on the box. I think the one she likes is called something like "Tampax Pearl Active Lite". There are also "U by Kotex" which are designed for teenagers, but we haven't bought those since she liked the first ones. [/quote]

Though it might be nice if it did work that way... Not that menstruation is a horror, but it is a complication and a nuisance.[/quote]

[b]Yes, everyone wants their daughter to be the kid who gets to 15 or 16 without the hassle[/b], but some kids get stuck on the early side and I think even if you are bummed for your kid on the inside, you have to be positive and enthusiastic about it when it happens. [/quote]

Most girls don't want to be the one who doesn't get her period until 15-16, after EVERYONE else has it.

My DD got hers recently a couple months before turning 11.  About the same age I got it.  She's tall and athletic, not overweight, always had organic dairy.  She did grow about 2 inches in the few months prior to starting.[/quote]
