Usually onset of period is about 1-2 years after development of breasts.
How tall is your gal?
I am also just as upset as you.
Cos my daughter is still so short.
Usually can only grow about 5cm more after 1st period.

Hi, Edason. Those period underwear can be purchase at all major shopping center. Just tell them you are looking for period underwear. There is day and night underwear. Night has a bigger \"protection\" area.

This is news to me. I am not aware of the existence of such underwears.

My P6 dd has no sign of any breast development yet...means that she is probably going to get her period later perhaps Sec 2 or 3? Anyone whose gal is this late before?

Heyya westmom, I'm a late bloomer. If you've read the above posting

i got it during the final term of Sec 3, thankfully during the school holidays.
Not much on the breast-y part.. just a lil fleshy mebbe but like a small bun,
but more developed at mid of Sec 4. Not much on cramps and stuff that
other girls go through. Was able to resume my much enjoyed sporting
activities as per normal.

Thanks Buds- it got me worried a bit. Come to think of it, my dd is not only slow in developing physically, she also seem \"babyish/innocent\" in character compared to her peers. On the positive note, I have more years to enjoy her before she \"grows up\"...!
