[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just get her a little pouch with 2 pads in it and call it a day. Stash a pack at grandmas. Stick a couple in the glove box for travel. Stick a couple in her backpack. Show her where they are. Don’t overthink. At home buy a couple sizes and kinds and let her figure out what she likes best. [/quote]

OP here - do you have recommendations on brands and sizes? She's a tall, thin 12 year old. Size 12 pants or xs at Aerie.[/quote]

Most have pics on the front with numbers. 1 will be the smallest and least absorbent, 4/5 will be longer and more for nighttime. I’d start with the first 2 always brand links. It’s easy to find that brand everywhere. CVS/Walgreens usually has best selection but not best prices. I’d go there and put a few things together.

You might get some period underwear and tell her just to use them at night or just wear with a pad. They gross me out too but leaks happen at that age so a little extra something is useful. An old towel she can throw down on the bed, extra set of sheets, mattress cover aren’t bad ideas either. Maybe a new pack of regular undies. Teach her how to rinse in cold water if they get really dirty, and save the gross ones for that time of the month. Make sure she knows how to start the laundry if she needs to wash a load and doesn’t want to be embarrassed. Maybe a calendar so she can track, like the cheap little dollar tree kind. A little basket with some girly items is always nice. Maybe some flushable wipes, large pack for home and the travel kind for school. Extra stock of TP in the house. That’s all I’ve got…

If you want to be extra you can make/buy something like this with things she’d like.
