    Dot Girl First Period Kit Review (& Giveaway Ends 8/25)

    By 158 Comments

    ABOUT:

    The average age a girl gets her period is 12.5 years as a girl’s first period is usually between the ages of 9 and 16.  Now there is a company that’s motto is “Informed girls.  Empowered women.”  Dot Girl products include Period Kits, Underwear, Books, Scensibles, and Skin Care products.

    Dot Girl was started by two sisters in 2006.  They bring their experience as daughters and mothers to help girls get through the awkward experience of her first period.

    The Dot Girl’s First Period Kit is a great gift to give a girl three to six months prior to her starting her first period so she has plenty of time to look through it, ask questions and gain the confidence to be ready in advance.

    What’s included in The Dot Girl’s First Period Kit®

    • 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
    • Two Kotex® Lightdays® Panty Liners
    • Kotex® product brochure (product claims only valid within the U.S.)
    • One store coupon for FREE Kotex® products -a $4.90 value (valid only within the U.S.)
    • Reusable Dot Girl Warm Pad, a heating pad handy for soothing cramps
    • Scensibles™ Petite Pak (3 disposal bags inside)
    • Hand Wipes

    MY THOUGHTS:

    Okay so I don’t remember my first period but I remember not really knowing much about it.  I don’t think my mom ever had “the discussion” with me as she assumed I knew it all from school and my friends.  I went with the flow and got through it but the Dot Girl’s First Period Kit definitely would have been nice to have and go through with my mom when I was ready.  It has everything you need (minus the Midol and extra underwear) for your first period and I think it definitely is a great resource and something to keep even in a girl’s locker at school as it doesn’t look embarrassing on the outside.

    Luckily right now I have two boys so my husband will probably “have the talk
    with them when they are in the puberty stage but I do have a 12 year old sister who has not yet received her gift from Mother Nature.  Since I figured she would be more comfortable talking to me about her period than my mom I showed her the Dot Girl case and when through each item inside with her and then sent her off to look at it alone.  I think it definitely will be helpful when she gets her period and I think Dot Girl will make a lot of mom-daughter discussions a little easier (still awkward probably) since all the tools and FAQ’s are in there to look over.

      So hard to decide! I wish I had come across this site about 3 months ago.
      I’d like The ask anything journal & think the
      Scensibles™ Disposal Bags-Petite Pack would be great for a young lady to help be discreet and not get embarassed.

      Thanks for the oppportunity!

      My daughter is a bit young but I think this is a great idea so this is my favorite product. I also like the Birds + Bees + Your Kids book!

      I think she would like the Scensibles™ Disposal Bags-50 Pack because she seems really concerned about the odor.

      I think my tween daughter would really benefit from Dot Girl’s First Period Kit. The Ask Anything Journal is really neat, as well.

      I like the idea of disposable panties for my daughter to keep in her locker if this starts while she’s at school.

      Because our girls are still a little young for the kit another item we would like is the Before She Gets Her Period book. Thanks for a great giveaway!

      I would love to get the 100% Natural Good For You Girls Complete Skin Care Kit for my daughter to introduce her to a proper skin care routine. She is in that awkard pre-puberty stage where she is noticing changes in her body.

      My daughter would like this as well:

      100% Natural Good For You Girls Complete Skin Care Kit

      I have been wondering how to get her more prepared for what is inevitably coming. This kit may help.

      I think my niece would like the books, because I know she won’t want to talk bout it. And I know my sister won’t either. However, I cried my eyes out when I first had mine, because no one told me anything. I thought I had broken something and was going to die! How relieved I was to find out otherwise! So, I think this kit would help her, because she is approaching that age. Thanks!

      I think my step-daughter (11) would love all the books, she likes to read about these things instead of talking about them, although we do both! Hope we win:)

      Besides the dot girl kit, I really like the Ask Anything Journal. What a great way to communicate the stuff that kids are too embarrassed to ask.
