They grow up soooo fast...
Just the other day, my just-turned 11 year old 5th grader had a program in school presented by the Robert Crown Center for Health Education. I think it's excellent that schools include workshops that give girls information and suggestions on how to cope during these nuanced times. Young girls often feel a little uncertain about the changes going on in their bodies and can feel a little self conscious.
I remember how my friends and I used to hide a tampon or pad up our sleeve or stashed it in a pencil case during those times of the month...not really the best way at times ;/ Just my luck to have it fail me at the most inopportune time... like when the boy I had a crush on was around!

ow at least I can have my daughter confident that she'll never have to endure these vagaries of childhood and enjoy more peace of mind. Perhaps Robert Crown Centers will share our practical solution with other school girls so they can enjoy the benefits, too.
What did you do to carry your fem hygiene products when you were in school?
How did that work out for you?

I so wish this was around when I was a teenager. I hated carrying a purse during that special time of month, because people usually knew why, especially since you did not carry a purse any other time of month. I have a blood disease in which my blood does not clot as fast as normal people, so it was very important that I carry enough supplies for this time. Many times I would keep several in my locker, to grab and stuff in my pocket. I hated doing that though, because then I could not use my pockets for other things I needed. I would have love the thought of having something to carry extra supplies needed for this special time of month. I would not have worried at all. Brilliant idea!

What a great idea! A practical solution to a uncomfortable situation. I remember always digging through my purse and pulling them out at the most inopportune times…

Wow! This would have been a lifesaver! I think I always hid them in my coat…and I always wore my coat during that time of the month! Probably looked a bit weird in the warmer months.

What a great suggestion! I think my 12 year old daughter, and her friends will really find value in this. I assume it would also hold small pads, which makes it perfect for the younger Tweens & Teens.
