My daughter got her first period and isint ready for tampons and pads are too uncomfortable and big but she bleeds through panty liners any suggestion?

Pads: You can help her with pads...they are larger and absorb more. Too early for tampons..I agree. Also she can dress appropriately so i is not visible for cosmetic reasons. Liners may not be adequate. First few months the periods can be erratic in all ways--frequency, duration, pain amount etc
