Question
Hi my name is Nikki Nicolee and i am 17. I decided to wait my life out for the good right guy and I didnt have sex with him but i was just wondering what do you do when you start bleeding? Do we treat it just a period or what? I understand the concept of how it happens and everythign just not that. So if you can get back to that would be great1

xoxoxo Nikki Nicoleee.

Answer
Depending on your body, when your hymen tears you will have light to moderate bleeding. So in comparison to your period, spotting or a light day. I would not recommend using tampons as your vagina area will be tender, however pads and/or panty liners should work fine. Also you should not bleed for very long. Some bleed for an hour, some for a few days, and some people don't bleed at all. So unfortunately it's a hit or miss. If you do bleed though, I'd recommend tossing a pad in your bitches and keep on truck'n. :)
