I have always taken steps to make my three daughters feel that being a woman is a great and wonderful thing and U by Kotex Curves® play and U by Kotex® Lightdays Liners a part in helping them believe that message especially at #CycleSurvival time. Having a monthly period is a part of being a woman that most women experience each month. I think that describing the monthly cycle in glowing terms and keeping in mind all the wonderful things that monthly cycles make possible. I wanted them to see their monthly cycles as a good thing and not to start off with negative associations.
I think womanhood is a thing to celebrate and enjoy. We created “Woman’s Day.” This was a day we created to celebrate this wonderful and special milestone in a young girl’s life. So, when my eldest daughter started her monthly cycle for the first time we invited her best friend and her mother out for afternoon tea at a very sophisticated local restaurant to celebrate this important milestone. I wanted to be sure that she always associated her monthly cycle with good memories. The afternoon of tea, finger sandwiches and desserts was a perfect treat.
Back then, when my daughter started getting her monthly cycle, I did not have a first period kit prepared for her. Like many mothers, I was not expecting her to start her cycle until some later date. However, I have learned my lesson and will have kits prepared and ready for my younger daughters well in advance of them starting their first periods. It is important to talk to our girls about periods, PMS symptoms, period symptoms, tampons and the like. It is important to give them a good initial impression about their monthly cycles before they hear period stories from friends that may not match the message I want to give them. The pretty packaging of U by Kotex Curves® and U by Kotex® Lightdays Liners are so much nicer than what feminine supplies looked like when I first started my monthly cycle so long ago! I am a technology lover. I am amazed at how technology has even been applied to feminine hygiene products and how much more absorbent, efficient and smaller in size products are today than when I first started using them!
I LOVE the memory that you created for your daughter! That is a really fabulous idea. Know what? I think from now on I’m going to go get a pedicure on day 2 of my cycle, because that’s always the heaviest day, and it would give me something to look forward to.
I can’t believe how much technology has changed with pads in just a few YEARS! I was either pregnant or breastfeeding for 4 years and didn’t have a cycle other than the awful post-pregnancy 6 week long bloodletting. I was SO shocked when I started my first period after that 4 year hiatus to find how thin and absorbent the pads had become! It’s really amazing and I am SO grateful we no longer have to wear pillows in our undies each month. #client
I love U by Kotex products. They are my must have.
You never know when you will need a Kotex so this is a great campaign. It is a cool idea to have a cycle survival kit!
What a great way to be prepared and make the new stage of life a little easier. I’ll remember this for the future
Womanhood is definitely something to celebrate! The Kotex Brand is one of my favorites as it think it truly understand what women need during that time
My spouse bike rides and this is a great kit to have on hand. Sharing.
I still have a few years before we need to start having stuff like this. YIKES. I’m nervous about it, but this all looks like great stuff!
I remember when I 1st started, my mom made a huge deal out of it and my whole family came over for this backyard BBQ. It was silly and fun. We did the same for our daughters. It was great to start that off with good memories. I completely love the fancy tea party idea!
I literally never even thought about this. For me it was sort of hush hush and not a big deal but what a beautiful way to embrace the transition of your child to adolescent!
We also made that a special time – I bought a red rhinestone bracelet for my daughters when they started their cycle.
Very good ide. We have the essentials at our house for when Our granddaughters visit.
what great product for teens. I am a huge fan of Kotex products.
Great idea for teens, I wish I had these new products when I was a teen. Love your “Woman’s Day” idea!
This is great! When I was a girl and started my period I was mortified having to carry all my stuff around. This would have been great. Glad my two girls can have it a bit different! Cute packaging and it isn’t as crazy as it was when I was younger!
I don’t usually use this brand but I do love the packaging.
I like this idea, I wish it was around when I was a teen! Happily, we’er home free with our single child, who is also a boy!
What a way to welcome them to “the club!” But makes me happy I don’t have a girl!
That is so cool I have a daughter who will be experiencing this momentous event soon so the timing of this could not be any better. I love the idea of Celebrating. I still remember when I first started. I was staying the night at my best friends house and I woke up to IT. By the time i came upstairs, Joyce had told her mom who proudly said to me… “Welcome to Womanhood!” You are so right… it is very memorable so make the memory a good one!
Sounds like a great way to be prepared! I like to be prepared as well 🙂
