I know this isn't siren fir kids, but I'm really desperate right now.
So to start off, I am thirteen. I'm very reserved and have only gone on one other site for advice on his field and so far no answers. I'm about to go away for two weeks to an extremely hot climate, and my mother (Who swears her life to pads) does not want me to use a tampon, ever. I tried bargaining with my dad but nothing worked doc I'm trying to meet them in the middle because not only do I hate the idea of touring a city with a diaper full of blood and sweat, but I do not want to miss out on swimming with marine mammals, especially considering the idea that it's going to Ben burning hot there.
So I've been researching the diva cup and have brought it up to both parents. My mother (for the firs time ever!) Listened to me and said she will do her research and just doesn't want o handle this until AFTER we come home from the trip. My dad was about to agree then out of nowhere starts to talk about challenging is authority and about how he has a right to forbid me of using any product he wants and such when we got in a pretty stupid arguement because I said 'My body my choice.'
Now not only do I really want to swim, but over twelve hours on a plane will be HELL for me. When I'm at school I already leak over night time pads for every hour I'm in class. I start my period the day I get on he plane, and there's not a snowflake's chance in hell im okay with using pads there. I'm very panicked about this, and I cannot sneak tampons with me on my trip like I've been doing for months because my mom searches my suitcase and sometimes takes my things out to use the space inside MINE for her.
See my mom has always been invasive, when I used to use pads and I changed the pad too early (you know because I hate sitting in blood..) She would come in and say "I opened your pads, why are you wasting them? You know you can put them on for longer." She would tell me. She also counted my pad supply and tells EVERYONE about my period when I tell her to please not to. I love her, but sometimes she can't keep her mouth shut in my vulnerable situations so I just stopped telling her when I get my period and tell her about one out of the blue to make my period seem more irregular than it really is.
It's not easy to hide tampons from her though, she's a smart lady and will always catch onto anything fishy I do. (Minor note, I do sleep with pads.)
My dad on he other hand would act very immature when he heard anything about my period, he would go wide eyed if I asked my mom anything I front of him so when I asked him for help I was shocked that he calmly responded. I asked him if he would buy me a diva cup and sent him a link to buy it.
He calls my mom instead, and she confronts me then tells men if I had problems with my period then I better as hell tell her and not go to anyone else. I was humiliated even in front of nobody else, it's embarrassing enough okay? My dad and I ended up arguing about it when she wasn't around and said he has legal guardianship of me till I'm 22, APPERENTLY HE SIGNED THIS ON OUR IMMIGRATION DOCUMENTS. (We are middle eastern, moved to Canada) but here's the catch... He's only my brotherms guardian until he's 18... I exploded, and quite wrongfully so since it destroyed my points.
So here I am now, panicked. I really don't want to go on vacation with pads. I tried different brands and sizes and positions, nothing works. I'm so lost in what to do. I know when I get a cup I'll just pour blood from the cup on he pad so it looks normal. I do get an allowance but there is another catch...
I have to pay the girl taking care of my pets, and I spent the last of the extras on the travel cage and a new batch of food. So I'm broke, I can't sneak out and buy a diva cup like I did with tampons.
Give me any advice you have. ANYTHING.
