Your First Period Pack, Sorted Before Term One

There is a particular kind of confidence that comes from being ready. Not the loud kind, just the quiet knowledge that whatever the day throws at you, you have it handled. That is what this edit is for. Everything here is chosen so a first period pack can live in the school bag from day one, before it is ever needed. Start with Teen Period Underwear in a size that actually fits, or take the guesswork out entirely with one of our First Period Kits. Being prepared is not about worry. It is about starting term one with one less thing on your mind.

Made for Swimming Lessons, School Sport and Camp

School does not slow down, and neither should you. Teen Period Swimwear means a swimming lesson is just a swimming lesson, no notes, no sitting on the edge of the pool. Girls Period Sleepwear does the same for school camp and the sleepovers. Comfortable enough to forget you are wearing it. Reliable enough to stop thinking about it. Because the goal was never to get through the day quietly. It is to run, swim, put your hand up, and take up exactly as much room as you want.

Three things cover almost every situation: a spare pair of period underwear, a small zip pouch so nothing is on display, and a wet bag for anything that needs to come home.

Yes. Period underwear is designed to stay in place through running, jumping and quick changes between classes, which makes it well suited to PE and after-school sport.

A heat pack or warm drink at recess helps many people, and gentle movement often does more than sitting still. Most schools will let you visit the sick bay for a rest if you ask. If cramps are severe enough to keep you home, make you vomit, or stop you concentrating in class most months, that is worth a GP appointment rather than something to push through.

Rinse in cold water until it runs clear, then wash with the regular load, cold and on a normal cycle. Skip fabric softener, which coats the fibres and reduces absorbency over time, and skip the dryer, which shortens the life of the leak-resistant layer. Line or rack dry.
