GLOBAL brand Modibodi specialises in designing period underwear and has launched a teen kit to help parents educate and support their kids.
Designed to make the transition to menstruation as smooth as possible for young teens, the Teen First Period Kit (£22.90) is a great way to start the menstrual journey as prepared as possible.

The First Period Kit provides young ladies with all the essentials needed while promoting comfort and confidence.
The Teen First Period Kit includes two Modibodi period hipster bikini briefs (for moderate to heavy flow); a handheld mirror; a waterproof bag; and an exclusive illustrated comic strip, period facts and sticker kit.
All Modibodi period underwear is reusable, helping to reduce waste and making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective option.
The discreet carry pouch ensures privacy through this new transition, while the included booklet offers valuable information they haven’t had to figure out through fear.
As a parent, navigating this journey with your child can also be challenging, so it’s no surprise that the Teen First Period Kit is a hit with parents.
One shopper shared: “I bought these for my young daughter (11) for when she started her periods, and they have worked really well.
“She says that they are very comfortable and feel secure. She has also had zero leaks using these.”

Another parent added: “This has made preparing my pre-teen for her first period very easy.
“She has worn the underwater (and hipster boyshorts) a few times to make sure they will be comfortable when the time comes, and she loves them!”
Another buyer quipped: “It’s a good quality product!”
Modibodi recently commissioned a survey to understand how parents, and in particular fathers, are supporting their teens before and during their menstrual cycle.
The research showed the active role that many fathers play in their teen and tweens’ menstrual health, with 85% of dads feeling comfortable discussing periods with their daughters and 70% having brought menstrual products for their daughters.
However, 90% of dads surveyed did state they would like to know more about menstruation to better support their daughters.
Sarah Forde, Modibodi’s Head of Sustainability and Public Affairs commented, “Equipping teens and their caregivers with the right information is so important when you consider the current climate of disinformation and the scaling back of women’s rights around the world.”
Modibodi are a period pant company dedicated to demystifying the world of periods.
It’s totally normal to feel a little overwhelmed or unsure when you first start your periods.
From unpredictable cycles to new emotions, here are a few things to consider:
Irregular periods are normal for your first few cycles and may be heavier at first. They should become more consistent over time, most people bleed for 4 to 7 days.
Blood colour can change during your cycle. Expect changing colours ranging from pink or bright red to brown, dark red or even black.
Some aches and pains are to be expected during your menstral cycle. But extreme period pain is NOT and could be a sign of a deeper issue.
Find what works for you as there are lots of period products out there to choose from, including Modibodi’s range of leakproof underwear which is reusable, eco-friendly and more cost-effective.
