I am excited to announce that i am a U by Kotex ambassador through a Mom Central partnership.  I’ve always dreaded having the talk with my two daughters, but now that they are getting older It will be easier.

My kids are still very young, they are only 6 and 7, but it’s never to early to have the talk with your daughter.   I started my period when just before I turned 10. Yes really that young, and we have family members who have started at 9. So my daughters will starting their periods in just a few years.

I have already had the where do babies come from talk with my daughter, thanks to an episode of Teen Mom. Having the period talk shouldn’t be to much of a shock to her. They have been asking questions from seeing what I do. Like asking what pantyliners are what they are used for.

U by Kotex brand is a brand specifically designed for tweens.
The new pads with heavy flow absorbency in a smaller size than the regular pads,and are designed for younger girls. U by Kotex Tween pads come in vibrant colors and patterns, have a special cover to ensure they stay dry, plus an absorbent core to lock fluid away and help prevent leaks.

I really wish they had these when I first started, I always felt like I was wearing a diaper. I hated it.

Aimee Teegaren Gets real video:

I love this video, although I don’t think my mom prepared me as much. I think I learned more from books and school about having a period. When I started out I used pads with wings, which I think are best for young girls. The pads stay in place no matter how much you move.
