How Do You Make A Beautiful First Period Kit: Here All These Items

Discussion regarding periods becomes quite open nowadays. We gathered quite a knowledge about this natural biological process. You’ve had the period talk, now you need to make sure she has the tools to be prepared for it should it happen at school. Plus you never know, maybe one of her friends might get her period at school and not be prepared. Here is the kit that is perfect for your tween or teen daughter, so she has everything she needs for when that day happens!

1. Large Pencil Case

A large pencil case is a great ‘container’ for your daughter’s needs, plus it is a good way to ‘hide it in plain sight’ – especially if your daughter is embarrassed about getting her period at school (which most girls are until they get used to the idea). If she grabs her pencil case out of her bag, or if it falls out, she is less likely to be embarrassed about it rather than having a pink or purple purse which screams ‘I’m bleeding from my vagina!’

2. Pads & Tampons

Whatever your daughter is more comfortable with. Most younger girls are more comfortable with pads, to begin with, and will start using tampons when they are a little older. It is even a good idea to have a combination of both for really heavy days. Remember young girls doing sports or swimming will probably be more comfortable with tampons. Explain to your daughter how to use them, and tell her to practice insertion at home! Mini tampons and mini pads are available at the supermarket for younger girls. Another option is the tampons with applicators – they are a little bulkier – but really great for young users to get the tampon positioned correctly.

3. Panty Liners

When girls first get their periods, their cycle can be all over the shop. This is where panty liners come in handy. They will catch any initial flow, and keep undies and hopefully clothing free of stains. Panty liners are also a great way to train girls just before they get their periods on how to use pads

4.Wipes

wipes are great for everything. They are especially great at cleaning up any messes without having to use water. Great at cleaning under the arms should she need it too. Small packets of wipes that will fit beautifully into a pencil case are available in the travel section of the supermarket. They are great not only for cleaning, but to spot stains as well and to just freshen up!Just in case – always pack a spare pair of underpants in the pencil case. Black is the perfect colour for period panties.

5.Ziplock Bags or Plastic Bag
To store any soiled clothing. Or if she finds herself in a place with nowhere to dispose of used sanitary products safely – that way, it is discreet and can be wrapped and popped back into the pencil case until she gets home!

6.Some Panadol Tablets

You will have to okay it with the school first, but if your daughter gets particularly painful periods, having a couple of panadol in her period kit will help ease those pains until she can get a hot water bottle on her tummy!
