5 Signs Of Your Daughter’s First Period

Her first period is coming — sooner or later, it’s time to help your daughter be prepared. As moms of tween and teen daughters, we often wonder when it will start. Yes, that time of the month isn’t easy — and it can be hard knowing your little girl is about to face it. But don’t worry — at Adira, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know about early period signs 

We’ve listed some key signs that’ll help you understand her growing body. Every child is different — and so is their anatomy. These 5 signs can help you know what’s ahead:

1. Physical Changes – 

    There’s a lot to talk about when it comes to puberty and how it changes her body. The best thing you can do? Reflect on your own experience and gently guide her through. You may notice her body shape starting to change. Her hips will get wider and you will also see that the child-like features disappear and she starts to look more and more like a young woman. This might be the right time to invest in some Leakproof Panties, so she doesn’t face an embarrassing first period at school or during sports. Here’s why leakproof panty can make all the difference.  

      2. Changes In Skin – 

        Oily skin or sudden breakouts could signal that her period is a few months away. You will also notice that she might be sweating more than usual as her sweat glands become more active with the onset of puberty. It is important for her to shower often to stay fresh.

          3. Mood Swings – 

            Some may feel emotionally overwhelmed as hormones start to shift. It’s all new to them, and they may not know how to cope yet. They may be unusually sad, happy, irritated or agitated at times. Reassure them and help them see things from a fresh perspective. Just remember — they’re growing, and their journey into adulthood should feel safe and supported. This is a transition that needs to be managed with care. Consider gifting her a Period Starter Pack or a Puberty Book and talk openly about these changes in a positive way.

              4. Body Hair – 

                One of the early signs of puberty is hair growth under the arms and around the vaginal area. She might feel a little awkward or unsure about it. But talking to her in advance and letting her know that it is natural, will keep her at ease. You can also explore whether waxing or shaving is better for your daughter here.

                5. Breast Development – 

                  Breast development is one of the first signs that her period isn’t far off. Early signs include breast buds — when the nipples begin to elevate slightly. Watch out for tenderness, swollen or sore breasts in your daughter. Our Starter Bras work great for this stage of breast development.

                      You can use the resources built by our social initiative HowToTellYourChild.com for a positive introduction to puberty.

                      After all, it’s only natural.
