PSA for parents of young girls

My 10-year old daughter got her period in October. She was home at the time and immediately told me, and I was so thankful I could be there for her. I showed her how to put a liner in her panties, as well as how pads with wings work, and I told her she didn't need to worry about tampons unless she wanted to go swimming while she was having her period, but that when that time came, she can come to me and I'll show her what to do. I also told her that when it was time to change the pad, to wrap it up and make sure it goes in the garbage only.

There's just one thing I didn't anticipate. I found out today that when it was time for a new pad, she had been putting the new one ON TOP of the old one, and stacking them 5 deep before throwing them out! Because of this, she had been getting blood on her underwear, and then throwing that out too. And because she does her own laundry, I had no idea she was down to her last pair!

If you have a daughter who gets her period before she develops common sense, let my mistake be a lesson. Spell out every single step!
