First Period Kit

Getting your first period can feel like a big step and it’s normal to feel uncertain about what you’ll need. Let’s dive into the essentials you should consider for your first period.

Designed specifically for teens, period underwear offers comfortable protection during first periods, giving young people the confidence to continue normal activities without interruption.

1. Period Underwear

Period underwear is a game-changer! These leakproof panties are specially designed to absorb your flow, meaning you don’t need to worry about leaks. Whether you’re at school, sports practice, or just hanging out at home, period pants keep you feeling comfortable.

2. Menstrual Cups

If you’re open to inserted products, menstrual cups are a fantastic option. They collect your period blood rather than absorbing it like a tampon. They can hold more liquid and can be worn for up to 12 hours without needing to change it. There’s no need to do the period math to make sure you have enough pads or tampons to get through the day. One period cup is all you need, so you can save the math for the classroom!

3. Wipes & Pain Relief

Having wipes on hand can be helpful for cleaning up when you’re on the go. If cramps are part of your period experience, a heating pad or over-the-counter pain relievers can help relieve discomfort.

Getting your first period is a huge milestone, and the right products can help you feel comfortable and confident. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s something that fits your lifestyle and helps you feel your best!
