Finally, We Have a First Period Kit to Meet the Moment…
Your daughter’s first period isn’t just a blip in her teen years. It’s a cultural turning point. And how we talk about that—or don’t—says everything about the kind of future we’re raising our kids into.
For decades, first periods have been treated like private inconveniences. A hushed whisper between mother and daughter, followed by a quick trip to the drugstore. A confusing, quiet rite of passage. Maybe it’s time to change that…
Finally, a First Period Kit That Gets It!
Founded by Susie Hewson, a pioneering period expert who has been breaking menstrual taboos and environmental standards since 1989, Natracare is once again rewriting the rulebook.
“It’s the 21st century! We need less shame, more empathy—and more options right from the outset,” says Hewson. “That means more eco-conscious conversations from day one for girls and boys in the room for that first period discussion. When everyone is included, understanding expands and shame exits.”
For Susie, this period kit is paradigm-shifting—not just for how girls experience their first periods, but for how everyone thinks about periods. Because when we teach girls to be empowered instead of embarrassed, and we show boys how to listen instead of laugh, we ultimately raise a generation that’s stronger, smarter and more compassionate.
Let’s Redefine the Period Talk—Together
Every parent, caregiver, teacher and coach plays a crucial role. This isn’t just “girl stuff.” This is health, agency and identity.
Societally speaking, it’s time to stop pretending that periods are anything less than powerful. Because the truth is, your daughter’s first period isn’t the beginning of a burden—it’s the beginning of a superpower. And she deserves to start her journey with facts, support and products that respect both her body and the planet.
“We’ve tiptoed around first periods for too long,” shares Hewson. “Coded language and hushed discussions all result in informed behaviors. For girls, that might be shame, but for our systems, it’s also damaging. It’s a doctor dismissing extreme period pain. It’s a patient’s delayed diagnosis of endometriosis from a lack of study. It’s an industry failing to explore the future impacts of toxic chemicals and PFAs in period care products because precautionary principles get cast to the wind when price is the driver. When we empower our sons and daughters alike with real facts and informed empathy about what it means to have a period, we are instilling in them the drive to challenge and change these systems.”
What’s in the Natracare First Period Kit?
This isn’t your average starter pack. It’s a curated experience for the first-time period—blending comfort, sustainability and real education.
Available in two versions (Standard + Large), each kit includes:
Natracare by Warmlii, Organic Cotton Cherry Stone Thermal Pillow
Warm it, mold it, love it. This reusable heat pack is your daughter’s new secret weapon against cramps—made with care in collaboration with Warmlii.
Natracare by Eco Femme, Organic Cotton Reusable Pad
A first-of-its-kind collab between two leading ethical period brands. This washable, GOTS-certified organic cotton pad offers girls a soft, sustainable option from day one.
Natracare’s Seedling Certified Compostable Period Products
That means no petroleum-derived plastics. No synthetics. No perfumes. No chlorines. Just breathable, biodegradable and compostable products that work—including liners, daytime pads, nighttime pads and GOTS certified organic 100% cotton tampons (with and without applicators—available in the Large Kit).
Natracare COSMOS Natural certified, Safe to Flush Moist Tissues
For cleanup that’s as gentle as it is effective.
All of it is wrapped up in a beautiful, intentional package that says: This is not something to hide. This is something to honor.
It’s Not Just About Products. It’s About Power.
Let’s be real: periods can be intense. Cramps, leaks, mood swings, awkward questions—they don’t care if you’re ready or not. But preparation is empowerment. When we normalize what’s coming—physically and emotionally—we give our daughters the tools to navigate it with confidence.
Even better? We permit them to own their experience, not shrink from it.
This kit doesn’t just support your daughter. It supports you too. Whether you had a traumatic first-period experience or a totally uneventful one, this is your chance to do it differently. To make space for messy questions. To share what you wish someone had told you. To model what period pride actually looks like.
Changing the Conversation Starts Here
The world doesn’t change with one product. It changes with a movement. And this one is led by girls who know their worth, by parents who refuse shame and by brands like Natracare that put people and planet first.
This is the only First Period Kit that doesn’t ask you to choose between emotional care, physical comfort and environmental ethics. It delivers all three—beautifully, bravely and with zero compromise. When we raise our daughters to be informed and empowered, and our sons to understand and empathize, we collectively raise the standard for all of us.
