The Best Period Starter Kits 20243 July 2024 As parents we want to make the transitions through puberty go smoothly. The first period is hard to predict and the chances of it happening away from home are high! What is a period starter kit?A period starter kit includes disposable or reusable period protection items for teens or tweens to use on your first period kept ready 'just in case'. It could include a small bag containing menstrual underwear, a reusable period pad, some wipes to freshen up, and a treat if it is given as a gift. Children can become familiar with sanitary items which helps them to feel ready and confident for their period. I made a pack for my daughter in a discreet little wetbag a year before her first period for peace of mind. When the day arrived we were in the queue for Thorpe Park! I could tell it was imminent - some sort of "spidey sense" - so she was able to use the period supplies we had ready.

I'd previously bought from an Australian brand, at £20 a pair, and it had taken many months to build a decent stash. As she grew out of them, I looked for a cheaper alternative. The cosy bamboo shorts from Cheeky Wipes fit the bill - I ordered two different sizes to be safe, and the larger fit an absolute treat, and my daughter said how soft and comfy they were. At just under £30 for 3 pairs, this made it much cheaper to rebuild supplies. Especially with the plastic-free July BOGOF offer! I contacted CW to return the unused pants and got a quick, personal reply - so lovely when a brand allows staff to interact with customers and not just send standard emails. In short, 5* all round and I'll certainly be recommending Cheeky Wipes period pants to others." Emma, Trustpilot review
