My family doesn’t want me to use pads; they prefer more traditional methods. I’ve tried talking to them openly, but they just brush it off with ‘that’s how it is.’ What should I do in this situation? They are trying to convince me, but honestly, I need to defend myself on this issue.
What kind of logic is this? Can such a thing happen?
I went through something similar during my teenage years; my mom wanted us to use other things, but I secretly bought pads to solve it.
How old are you and how long has this been the case? Are they constantly trying to block it?
@yazipsildim I’m 16 years old, actually they always used to say that, but last month we had a really heated argument.
@kahvebitmeden what you call a secret solution isn’t actually one; it seems more like starting an open war with the family. I think it’s wrong.
Avoiding modern methods in hygiene issues that affect body health harms both women’s health and their long-term self-confidence. You can try speaking with a logic that your doctor would also support.
