OK, where was this kit when I was 12? I think my Mom was wonderful and I wouldn’t trade her for anyone, but I was the youngest girl of five kids, so there wasn’t a lot of one on one time!
There definitely was no conversation about my starting my period; anything I learned came from my fellow 12 year old girlfriends. I distinctly remember coming home from school for lunch and telling my Mom, I think I started my period. She helped me get cleaned up and told me my sisters would explain everything when they got home!?! {One sister was in high school and the other had just graduated.} There is a very funny story surrounding my sister telling me all about the “facts of life”, but I think I’ll keep it private!!
I survived, but certainly handled it differently with my daughter. I didn’t have this resource available to me when my daughter and I talked, but wish I had as The Dot Girl First Period Kit® would have been a great addition to our conversations.
The kit is contained in a cute little carrying case that easily slips into a backpack or shoulder bag and is packed full with everything she may need:
- The Dot Girl Period Answer Book® – a 20-page question and answer booklet covering the basics about menstruation including: How many days will I bleed? When will I get my first period? How do I track my period? What about cramps? What is a period anyway? Written in an easy-to-read and positive tone the booklet fits neatly inside the reusable case so girls can refer to it over and over again.
- The Dot Girl Warm Pad, a reusable gel heating pad for soothing cramps.
- Five disposal bags.
- Five feminine hygiene pads.
- Two hand wipes complete the kit ensuring girls that they’ll be prepared in any situation.
Dot Girl has a wonderful website that is full of useful information, I especially like the resource section which contains numerous “Dot Girl Mom Articles” as well as several “Parenting Resources”, a free downloadable period calender and a free bookmark program.

I like the Resource centre
I learned that the goal at Dot Girl Products is that every girl has a positive first period experience and an empowered first step to womanhood.
I really like the informative articles they have to help you with your daughters first period.
I like that this kit contains so many wonderful resources. I think it’s a terrific idea.
i like you can order for schools
It’s an award-winning way to approach talking about periods!
I like the fact that the kit has everything that girls need for their first period.
I like this product, I’m going to buy it for my daughter and have it one hand when the time comes.
I like that they have disposable bags
I liked reading the reviews from Parents and girls who have used the kit or who have been given it to use when the “time is right”. They liked the information of how to track their periods and are given clear information about the whole subject. What a fantastic product! I really hope to win this for my daughter!
For women by women :)

I like that the carrying case is cute and doesn’t scream to others that I’m on my period….I would love to share this with my neice she is 12 and I figure it’s just a matter of time and she lives with her Grandfather so I’m sure she hasn’t gotten “the talk” yet.
Awhh…Stephanie, this would be perfect for your neice. Good luck :)
I like the fact that the kit isn’t intimidating looking. I wish I new about this when I was younger.
Gosh, I really hope I don’t need to deal with this anytime soon (my oldest girl is only 5) — but I was only 11 when mine started. I really like the reusable heating pad — could come in very handy.
I like that they offer a 50% discount to schools and organizations
I learnt that they won a Mom’s Choice Award :D Thats great1
I love the idea of a small carrying case that doesn’t scream PERIOD! The wipes are also a great idea for a girl who isn’t used to getting her period yet.
