Will the school nurse tell my parents if I ask for a tampon?
Okay so school is gonna start in like 2 weeks and I’m on my period right now wearing a pad (EWW) and I want to start using tampons because they are generally simpler like they don’t smell, they don’t feel like diapers etc.. and also next year we are gonna have swimming in P.E so I NEED tampons. The problem is that my mum doesn’t use tampons and neither does anyone else in my family (I found 2 tampons in my sister’s room but she doesn’t have anymore) and I reckon it’s a cultural thing because of the country I come from and anyways I am NOT asking my mum about that. The thing is I sometimes go to buy small things like chips and Fanta and Coke and I have thought of buying tampons but I’m frightened my mum or dad will question whats in the other bag. The other problem is that last year we had this checkup thing with the nurse where she checked our back our breathing etc… and she also questioned if I had started my period and I said no since I was also hiding it from my mum at the time (not anymore) so I’m frightened that if I go question her for a tampon it’ll be rlly awkward cuz her daughter also goes to that school and she’s friends with my sister so maybe she’ll tell my sister…PLEASE HELP I’M SO SORRY IT WAS RLLY LONG!
When we went to the beach on holiday my mum had her period and she wore a pad so I reckon she will make me do the same if I question

The nurse should practice patient confidentiality so shouldn’t tell anyone about anything that is discussed between you.
you need tampons! so just question your mom she will TOTTALY know. get use to talking ur mom it makes life 5 MILLION TRILLION TIMES BETTER
My friend had a similar problem. Her mother wouldn’t let her use a tampon because in their culture, it tainted your “virginity” or something to that effect. What she did was go to the doctor, and with her mother present, told the doctor that she wanted to use tampons, but that her mother didn’t know the basics of it. The doctor clarified that the tampon wouldn’t hurt the hymen, and now my friend is allowed to use them. So my suggestion to you would be to first talk to your mother about tampons. Tell her what you told us–that they’re more comfortable, portable, clean, etc. Act mature, and make sure she knows how you feel without you throwing a fit. If she is still hesitant, do what my friend did and have your doctor speak to your mother. If your mother still doesn’t want you to wear tampons, then perhaps you should listen to her until you are 16 or 17 or so (I’m just guessing you’re younger than that) and you can make your own decisions about your body.
If you question your school nurse, she probably won’t tell your parents.
I really don’t reckon pads are “EWW”… Anyways, question and clarify your situation to your mom. I’m sure she would know, you have to give your parents some credit. They are capable of adjusting to fit your needs if it is crucially vital. As for your original question, probably not. I don’t reckon your school nurse will inform your parents. But still, don’t hide things from your parents. Especially not for something as trivial as this.
She will not tell anyone. It is a part of her job that when people go to her in confidence, she keeps it to herself. You have nothing to worry about. But, you should just question your parents for tampons and see what they say. The worst that will happen is they say no… but if you are going to be swimming on your period you HAVE to wear a tampon, unless you just don’t do it. I reckon yor parents would rather give you them than you missing your PE lessons once a month.
All girl and women wear them when they go swimming so if you tell them that you need them for swimming it shouldn’t be too much of an issue.
Either way back to your question, if you go to the nurse it is confidential.
Excellent luck.
