We spend a lot of time here speaking to the experience of early motherhood and equipping new moms with the tools and resources they need to make it through with their sanity intact. This post, however, is not for the new moms. This is for the veterans. The ones who have already survived sleep deprivation, first foods, first steps, first days of school. We’re talking about the moms of “Tweens” – tweens who menstruate, to be exact.

These moms are in for a whole new round of firsts, including (but certainly not limited to) first periods. Enter: DivaCup™’s “First Period Kit”

It’s a box that gets delivered right to your doorstep that was designed for moms who want to empower their tweens and teens to menstruate with dignity. The box includes:

  • DivaCup™ Model 0 (perfect for teens)
  • DivaWash (for cleaning)
  • ShakerCup (also for cleaning)
  • DiveWipes (for hygiene on the go)

It also includes other goodies like an #innerrevolution tee, an educational workbook, pins, notebooks, and a backpack – all the essentials for anyone looking to track their menstrual cycle.

I’ve been using the DivaCup™ (a Canadian product, developed by a mom – duh) for just over a year and it has been a total game changer. It’s better for the environment, it’s better for the budget, and it’s an important part of understanding the nuances of our bodies. Periods are a healthy function and it’s long past time to dismantle the stigma and miseducation around them.

This is an inner revolution and as moms we have a unique opportunity to help our kids see it as such.
