I understand your worry since my daughter is also a tween. Some of her friends have already started their periods, while others haven’t. She could start her period at any moment—tomorrow, next week, next month, or even next year. I didn’t want her to ever feel embarrassed, under-prepared or awkward, especially if she got it at school.
After all, becoming a young woman should be a celebration, not a negative experience she carries for life.
I felt overwhelmed as a mother—until I took these steps to prepare her.

She Uses Leakproof Panties All The Time
I got her leakproof panties that she wears every day to school. No matter when her first period arrives, these comfy cotton panties will hold any stains and make sure it isn’t embarrassing.
She Has A Period Kit In Her Bag
She always has a small pouch in her schoolbag with a pair of period panties and a few sanitary pads so she’s prepared.
I Taught Her How To Use Period Products
I actually made sure she tried the period panties on and trained her how to put on pads and how to dispose of them. I’ve also told her to change her pad at least every four hours—or more often if her flow is heavy.
It’s great to see her head out every day with confidence, knowing she can manage her first period.
