Hi,
I'm wanting to put together or buy a 1st Period kit for my 12 yo. Does anyone have any suggestions of a website in Australia that sells this kind of thing or any suggestions of what kind of things I would include in one I'd put together?
Thanks.

It'll be so much cheaper to do one yourself, I would put in:
- Liners
- Pads
- Period proof undies
- Black/grey undies for the days she has them that are comfy
- Chocolate
- A book about girls stuff
- Chicken Soup book (best book ever!)
Libra sells a kit
I'm going to say don't go overboard on products. By all means grab girl books, chocolate, dark undies etc. But as for the products, maybe just a small pack of pads/liners to start with. When I was a kid I had to throw away so many packs of pads/liners/tampons because it turned out I was highly sensitive to the products and they gave me skin reactions (or worse, reactions internally 😬😬😬) and most still do.
Just buy some period proof undies and a book if she needs education. I don't really get why people make it a big deal when most teenage girls wish it wasn't happening. I don't think chocolate etc is required either... It's just setting the scene for once a month eating crap for no reason. Buy some raspberries or other sweet healthy foods when her period comes in case she does get a sweet craving and buy her a hot water bottle if she gets cramps.
Pencil cases are great for keeping a sneaky stash of supplies in the school bag. It’s not obvious if someone looks in her bag. Also I’ve been looking into period panties for my daughter , she hasn’t had hers yet but Ive heard they are fantastic and you don’t need to worry about leakages esp at school
