What does the word menstruating mean?
Menstruating is the time when a female bleeds during her monthly period, called her "menstrual cycle.
How do you use a tampon or pad?
Hold the tampon with the thumb and middle finger the rounded end facing the vagina. If using applicator tampons then place the front half of the applicator directly into the vagina until your fingers touch your skin. Then use the first finger to gently insert or push the center of the applicator into the outer tube of the applicator. Pull back on the applicator with your fingers to remove. The tampon remains inserted with a string hanging on the outside. If using non-applicator tampons then place the rounded end of the tampon directly into the vagina, then use your first finger to gently insert or push the tampon into the vagina as far as it will go, aiming towards the small of your back, the tampon is in place with a string hanging down.
Don't be scared to touch your vagina, both it and menstrual flow is very clean, it's yours so no reason to fear touching that area. Push as far as it will go comfortably --- you will feel a resistance when it hits your back vaginal wall, which means you have pushed it all the way into your vagina and into the correct position. If the tampon feels uncomfortable, it's not in far enough. If it is uncomfortable push it in a little farther, or take it out and try again with a new tampon. If you are nervous and clench your muscles you won't be able to get the tampon into the right position.
Remember a tampon will not get stuck inside you, and it can not get lost inside your body. You can easily pull it out with the string, or with your fingers if there is no string attached. If the string does break and you can't get it out with your fingers, you will have to see a doctor right away.
Remove the tampon after 4-6 hours. Realize that if you feel some resistance when removing the tampon, it usually is because it is dry and can still absorb more menstrual flow. In this case switch to a lighter absorbency next time you insert a tampon. When you first start using tampons, you won't know when it's ready to be taken out. In a few days, take it out by pulling gently on the string with your muscles relaxed. Soon you'll get to where you can feel the difference between one that's full and one that isn't. After removing a tampon you should use a pad, this gives your vagina a chance to clean out the bacteria within the vagina caused by the tampon so lessens risk of TSS and infections.
Tampons and tampon applicators are not flush-able!
They can clog the toilet or the pipes further down the system. Some tampons can even make it through the sewage into the sea and washing up on beaches. Always wrap up your used tampon and dispose in the bin (most public toilets have toilets near the toilet for this reason).
Is it possible that periods reoccur in a week?
when you first start your period, it can really vary. on and off blood shoots can happen regularly. which is completely normal, until your cycle comes to a stable timetable. but if this keeps recurring after 3 years of starting your period, it is adviced to see a doctor. 3 years is too long in my opinion to wait checking with a doctor. You should probably check with your doctor after a few weeks if this is occurring on a regular basis every week or two. The reason to check is because you might become deficient in iron or blood counts and become anemic.

Why do you think girls now begin to menstruate earlier than they used to?
There are two possible explanations for an earlier age of menstruation. First, many girls (at least in the wealthier nations) are better nourished than people usually were at earlier historical periods, and good nutrition aids in the process of maturation. Secondly, synthetic female hormones are fed to cattle to accelerate their growth, and a certain amount of this gets into the beef that we eat. This too could be affecting young girls.

- Yes, it's normal for your period not to smell bad.
Menstrual flow does have a different smell to normal vaginal discharge - blood itself has a slightly metallic odour, but also the blood can effect vaginal scent because it effects vaginal ph that in turn effects bacteria within the vagina. Menstrual flow will only smell bad if there is excessive growth of 'bad' bacteria, for example if you have a vaginal infection or you're using tampons that encourage massive bacterial growth within the vagina. Some types of pads can also cause odour; by preventing air-flow they create the perfect warm moist environment for bacteria to thrive, prevent blood from drying, and chemicals in some pads cause odour.
As long as you're healthy and using hygienic sanitary products (cotton pads, cloth pads, menstrual cups, softcups, etc.) then your menstrual flow shouldn't "stink".
- Yes, clear discharge after menstruation is normal.
You get discharge throughout your menstrual cycle as this is how your vagina keeps itself clean, you will find that you will experience different discharge throughout your menstrual cycle as hormones effect your vaginal discharge - this is normal, and you will learn to recognise different discharge at different points in your cycle. Clear discharge may be Fertile Quality Cervical Mucus which is produced around a week before you ovulate, this is what keeps sperm alive within your vagina and helps sperm reach the egg when you ovulate.
As long as discharge isn't an unusual colour such as green or grey, an unusual texture such as watery or cottage-cheese like, smells bad like fish or ammonia, or causes irritation, it's normal. As said, in time you will learn to recognise different discharge throughout your cycle.
Why swellings and itching and watery vaginal bleeding although finish your periods 2 weeks ago?
Someone who knows more about this than I do should replace the answer I'm typing now, but I feel that some reasonable answer should come right away here. What little I know is that those symptoms seem to be consistant with a yeast infection (happens to averyone; nothing to be ashamed of.) But they might very well be something else.
Unless someone knowledgable and qualified can give you a better answer, and give it soon, see your doctor.
