Yeah,an alarm would be a good idea.
I talked to mum,but she is stubborn,she insists I would forget because I sometimes don't know the date or day and lose myself in time,because of my psychosis.But when I DID try it (twice) I kept the track of time.And this is not something I would forget,trust me on this one.But mum read an article online that says tampons are bad for women's health so she doesn't allow it.
She is such a good mother and I feel the need to listen to her,but I hate pads.ahh
