My daughter and I have been having the talk back and forth about periods, i think she is finally full understanding everything.  I told her though that having your period can also make you very insecure when it comes in public.

When I started as a child, I started in class and was very embarassed and it was the talk of the class for days. It was very embarrassing and since i didn’t have anything in my backpack I had to announce it and go to the nurse. I really don’t want my daughter to experience that. So we have been discussing ways for her to keep a pad in her backpack, but be discreet about it so no one sees.

We have come up with the ideas of keeping a small makeup pouch/case in her backpack with a pad in it. or even buying a backpack with a hidden compartment.   To help us figure out which way is best we were sent a small makeup bag to test out.   It worked great, I love how the U BY Kotex Tween pads are bright and colorful so they blend in with all my daughters other items.

Our next discussion will consist off the when to tell you will start. This is actually a tough one because every person is different when it comes to their period. I think that she will be able to tell when her period will start by having cramps, a upset stomach or bloating. Even if a child doesn’t have any symptoms they can still start, so it’s always good to have a pad in your child’s backpack just incase. It’s always good to be prepared.

U by Kotex Tween is a pad designed just for Tweens they are thin, but still protect well. They are also packaged  in neon colors and small design to keep them discreet.
