she wouldn't say that if you just wore tampons

well I learned about it when I was somewhere between eight and ten, and not because I asked my mom and she did not tell me. It was because I never saw them in the house or watched tv much to see a commercial (I was very active for a small child) but I'm sure if I wanted to know about it when I was littler my mom would have told me not in full detail probably just something like it's something that happens to girl when their older. :)

My friend told me that when she was little her mom said they were bandaids which actually makes a lot of sense to me I mean they are for blood

Lol my mon told me what a period was when I was 5 well 6 but oh well

I understand your logic.

In hindsight, it could've been explained in a different way but if i had suddenly been asked that question i probably would've given the same answer on the spur of the moment, so FYL

We went to SAMs club once and my dad told me not to bye smelly shampooo. My 5 year old brother started picking stuff up and saying it didn't smell and he eventually picked up tampons and smell them O_o

If my daughter asks something like that I tell her the truth, my parents did. Otherwise you end up as a "liar" and your kids are way too sheltered. Be honest with them. I knew a kid when I was young that was that sheltered... She had major issues as an adult. I feel bad for sheltered kids. They don't learn what life is really about.

This is the same explanation my mum used on me when I found pads in our bathroom. xD

You should have told her that she is not old enough and she will know what it is later on in life.
