Did the title of this post make you squirm? If so, then keep reading. Dot Girl's first period kit was developed by two women who had a less than perfect entry into the world of monthly cycles, and they want other young girls to have a better experience. If you just aren't sure how to have "the talk," or if you just want your daughter to have the necessary materials on hand if she's away from home when it happens, then Dot Girl's first period kit is for you and your young daughter.

Just $18, the kit includes an information booklet, a monthly cycle calendar, a small heat pack to relieve cramps, and three pads. The entire thing is small enough to fit into a purse or backpack. It doesn't beat a heart-to-heart, but it's always comforting to be prepared.
