[quote=Anonymous]My daughter just got her period.

-Go to store and buy a bunch of different products for her to try.   All in the smallest size option.  Ask a female friend to help or another mom if it's overwhelming.  If a single dad asked me this, I would be so happy to help.  Make sure you get pads with wings in smallest size and then get some daily liners and some options for overnight in smallest size.  There are pictures on the packages that show you that you are buying the smallest size.

-Talk to her about how to correctly dispose of the used pads.

-She's going to need a talk through on the tampons.  If you can't find a woman she would feel comfortable with, find some you tube videos.  Tampons can be stressful so if you can hold off on that I would for now until she's got basics underway.

-Sounds like she doesn't have period yet so for now yes you're just giving her a kit to have in her bag at school.  If she has an accident at school and the blood goes through her clothes and is visible, tie a sweatshirt around the waist.  Borrow from a friend if she doesn't have one.  Go to the school nurse and nurse calls you and you go get her or bring her a change of clothes.  Emphasize this is totally normal and happens to all women at some point.[/quote]
