Congratulations!
And what is Dot Girl?
From the site: “Our goal at Dot Girl First Period Products is that every girl has a positive first period experience and an empowered first step to womanhood. Terri and Kathy’s goal for the kit is to provide parents with the tools you need to explain the basics of menstruation to your daughters. And for the girls, they hope that having the kit will lessen their anxiety about their first period and instead turn it into a positive experience.”
My daughters are still too young to be thinking about their first periods but I do have a niece who had her very first period last month. Her Mom is a flight attendant who was away on a trip at the time and I think it would have been great if my niece had a Dot Girl kit at home for this very special occasion. Thankfully, Grandma was available to help but she’s now ready for next month with her cute little pink First Period Kit.
She really likes it because it looks just like a small pretty bag and no one would even guess what was in there. She can keep it in her school bag or locker and know that she’ll be prepared for the next time. The $23.99 kit contains:
- The Dot Girl’s First Period Guide™, a 12-page booklet with answers to common questions
- The Dot Girl’s Period Calendar™, a simple way for a girl to track her periods
- One Ultra Thin Kotex® Pad With Wings upgraded item
- Two Kotex® Lightdays® Panty Liners upgraded item
- Kotex® product brochure (product claims only valid within the U.S.) new item
- One store coupon for FREE Kotex® products (valid only within the U.S.) new item
- Reusable Dot Girl™ Warm Pad, a heating pad handy for soothing cramps upgraded item
- Scensibles™ Petite Pak (3 disposal bags inside) new item
- Hand Wipes
This is a special and sometimes scary time in a girl’s life. Why not make things a little easier for her with a Dot Girl’s First Period Kit. They’ll thank you for it!

We’ll be needing something like this in our house soon. I liked the book Period: A Girl’s Guide from Dot Girl. Thanks!
I subscribe to your RSS feed.
My soon-to-be 13yo hasn’t started yet, but she will any day now I’m sure. I thought the disposable panties were a good idea, especially with the unpredictability of those early months.
I was just thinking that I need to talk to my daughter about getting her period ASAP and wanted to find a book to explain it better than I could. I love the book Period. A Girl’s Guide. Awesome giveaway thank you!

We’ve talked about her period already and she thinks she ready for it. While I’m hoping we have a long wait for this, I keep seeing signs that make me think otherwise. YIKES!
I liked the CC Girl Seamless Pull-Over Day Bra.
Great kit idea! I have an 11 yo and this would be perfect for her! I love the books featured on the site: “Before She Gets Her Period” and “Period: A Girl’s Guide”. Both books sound very informational! Great giveaway - thanks for offering!

wow, this is incredible… wish something like this was around when i grew up, or when my children were. But to have it available now for my granddaughters is such a blessing. I have a granddaughter who has been prementrual and moody for a year now and we expect her to get it any day. It would be great to win this for her. I am really really impressed also with what else I saw on the site. That $1 form every sale will go to help educate girls form central asia, and pakistan and afghanistan. You have no idea how hard it is for the girls there. I have friends who travel in that region and bring back photos and stories all the time. What a great way to practically give back, and to help educate and comfort girls all over the world…. Kudos to you Dot Girl!… I love the whole kit… but remembering what it was like myself and also hearing my granddaughter complain already of pre-cramps, I like the warming pad added to the kit and the little bags for the disposables.
i am a subscriber… please add extra entry… thank you.

The book, Let’s Talk About S-E-X would come in very handy! I’ve been very open and talked with ease to my kids about sex, but having a book on hand would have been very handy!
Thanks, this product is wonderful and I surely could have used it when I was a girl.
I’m a happy subscriber!
Thanks very much!
I love the book Period i think it’s easier for a young girl to read about it than to find the courage to ask mom which i’ve had the talk but you know there’s still questions they want to ask but would rather read. please enter me in

I think the Scensibles are a fabulous idea!
My favorite item was the book, Before She Gets Her Period by Jessica B. Gillooly, PhD.
The Before She Gets Her Period book would be a great resource for us - I have a daughter who is 12 and I could use any of these!
I think it is important to talk to your daughter as soon as she gets her period — I always thought it should be done before? But interesting.
i like the Let’s Talk About S-E-X book
The Lets Talk About S-E-X book looks intersting. I have a tween that I would love to get these items for. Thanks for a great giveway!

I think the Lets talk about S E X book is a good idea. Like most preteens, it is hard to get her to talk to me about these things. My middle daughter is more comfortable with that. I do worry about her knowledge. Such fun to be a mom. It never gets any easier!
