Does remind me of what my mom told me about tampons when I was a little kid. My brother had a girlfriend who occasionally stayed over and one day when I was snooping in his room I found one in the package. I guess I was about 7. I took it to my mom. She told me it was a sex toy.

Okay this is the same woman who told me to call breasts Body Bombs. I love my mom, but man was she old fashioned about some things.

Allowed brothers girlfriend to stay over, and
she was ok with telling you it was a sex toy?But yet she called breasts Body Bombs... Now that is a rather funny twist of old fashioned. She liked the name of body bombs I think.
Personally- I would rather tell my daughter about the tampons use, then say sex toy, and raise curiosity way beyond her years. After all if you were 7, you would probably be using tampons in another 7 years, but hopefully not using sex toys in that time.
My mom informed us girls about menstration when I was
as young as 6. I had a older sister 6 years older then me. I knew that it was just a part of life and no worries if someday I went potty and there was red on my panties to not freak out. My mom knew of some girls as she grew up that were never informed and absolutely freaked when they started. They thought they were bleeding to death and needed to be in hospital kinda freakin out. sheesha...
knowledge is a powerful tool.
I have 2 boys and they have known about women issues for years and they are 13 and 10 now. They are also immune and know the pms signs for the purpose of escaping when the getting is good.
