Good to know
Talking about periods might feel awkward, but it’s an important conversation! Most parents want to help and remember their own experiences. You could start by saying you have questions, or showing them this app. Choose a quiet, private moment rather than bringing it up in front of others. Remember, your parent has probably been through this or helped others through it.
What can help:
What to know
- Write down questions beforehand if you’re nervous
- Start with something simple like asking for period products
- Remember they want to support you
- If one parent feels too awkward, try another trusted adult
