- The transformation from young childhood to preteen and teenage years can be an awkward and sometimes difficult experience. For girls, the thought of having their first menstrual period can be pretty scary, and learning how to handle it gets even more overwhelming when it actually happens. If she is lucky, a girl's mother will have a talk with her in advance and help to prepare for this big change she is about to encounter. As part of this preparation, young girls may begin to carry a limited number of items with them during their daily routine. These items usually include feminine pads and perhaps a change of underwear. In most instances, however, young girls are not adequately prepared for their first menstrual period and when it suddenly arrives they find themselves confused and embarrassed.
- Accordingly, there remains a need for a feminine care kit that a young girl can carry with her wherever she goes, and wherein the kit contains everything she will need, including feminine products and instructions, to properly care for her hygienic needs when her menstrual period arrives.
- Considering the foregoing, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a feminine care kit including a convenient carry bag containing all of the products and instructions a young girl will need when she experiences her first few menstrual periods.
