Menstrual products

Products such as pads for people who just got their first period can be best because they are easy to use. As you become more comfortable, however, you may want to keep a cup or tampons on hand as well.

Clean underwear

It’s important to keep an extra pair of underwear on you just in case you leak while on your period.

Hair ties

Your period unfortunately can be uncomfortable, so if you have long hair bring hair ties to lessen the discomfort of hair in your face!

Lip balm

Lip balm is not a necessity but it can feel nice to keep it with you when your lips are feeling chapped.

Hand sanitizer

Sometimes you’ll be in a place where it can be difficult to clean up. It’s useful to have hand sanitizer or wipes on hand for those moments.

Ibuprofen

During your period you might have symptoms like cramping, stomach aches, muscle aches, or bloating. Painkillers like ibuprofen can help reduce these feelings. Make sure you check in with your parents/guardians before taking any medications.
