[quote=Anonymous]Does your daughter have books to read about puberty? That can be a good starting point for both of you. My DD is only 9 and likes The Care and Keeping of You from American Girl. There’s info in the section on periods about products but not specific brands. There are likely others books that older girls may like.

Period underwear would be a good choice to have on hand. Knix or Thinx or something like that.

For tampons, start with something slim and light absorbency until she gets the hang of it. Tampax is a good brand. And she may not be interested in trying for a while. It can be daunting. Do you have a sister or a cousin your DD is close to that she can talk to about how to use it?

For pads, get a couple of styles: maybe light and medium absorbency. She can figure out what fits best and works best based on her flow. She may not even like wearing them.

Lastly, it’s ok to ask for help. A girl’s first period is a big deal (as are the changes that come before and after). [/quote]
