Do you remember your first period? I do. I was in my second year of middle school. I remember being both scared and embarrassed. At the time, I didn’t have the chance to have the “talk” with my mom. But, what I knew about my period I had managed to learn from friends who had already started their periods, and sexual education classes. I’ll be honest I wasn’t prepared for a period or the horribly intense cramps. 
My daughter is still too young to have the “talk” with since she is only two years old. Girls generally start their periods between ten and fourteen years old. (With exceptions). But, for the moms who have daughters who are nearing puberty, I highly suggest purchasing the Dot Girl First Period Kit.
Inside the stylish pink pouch is period answer book. The answer book has twenty typical questions asked by young girls about menstruation. It also answered questions about which types of pads to use, how to track your periods, how long they may bleed, and cramping. Inside of the pouch was five sanitary pads, five disposable bags, two antibacterial wipes, and a small heating pad. 
The heating pad is not only re-usable, but you can use it as a cold pack as well. To activate it, you just pinch the little metal disk in the center. It gets warm enough to do the trick, but not so hot that it burns the skin. When the heat pad starts to cool off it starts to become hard. To re-use the heating pad all you have to do is boil it for ten minutes. This is a product that every parents should purchase for their tween. The best part about the kit? It can easily slip into ones purse/backpack for school or vacations.
Reviews:
- This is a very discreet package and something my daughter can tuck away in drawer and not worry about, The information included is frank and direct, without being overwhelming and is written in a very empowering way. "You can handle this...you really can" is the message I think it sends! Yay Dot Girl!

2. This kit was stylish and helpful at the same time. It is something she can drop in her book bag or purse in order to be prepared at any time.
