Your niece is lucky to have such a close relationship with you. My mum couldn’t even talk about thus with me. Was very distressing

necessity is the mother of invention. Well done.

I can only imagine how nerve racking that situation would have been for your niece glad she had you there for support and an ingenious idea to get her through it.

Oh the poor darling! good job you were there and on the ball! great thinking with the first aid kit! and love the Code!

Oh wow, lucky she had you there for support.
Such a difficult time for a young girl.

Tampons are great for blood noses that won’t stop!

Poor thing! Well done to you for coming to the rescue as she could have been mortified but you saved her day.

That was a clever way to improvise, I remember using a pad on my son’s badly cut foot as it was the only thing available to absorb the bleeding before we got medical help.

  Sanitary pads are pretty handy in many situations!

Good on you for coming up with a solution and helping your niece.

How wonderful that your niece could come to you for help. That time can be insanely awkward and sounds like you handled it like a pro!

Lucky you had a first aid kit… I remember how awkward those first few periods could be.

I’m glad you helped your niece

that is lovely that you helped her out. i am glad to hear that she was comfortable for asking for help. It can be a very confusing time.
