U by Kotex Tween Ambassador- My Final Thoughts

As many of you know the last few months I have been participating in the Kotex Tween Ambassador Program.  I am sad to say this is my last post in the series. I really enjoyed the last few months sharing tips and hearing about how other moms of tweens and teens handle their daughter’s first period!  I also learned that we all handle things different when it comes to talking and preparing our girls.  However we do share that one common goal that we want to make these transitions in our daughter’s life as smooth as we can.

This Ambassador program was one of my favorites by far.  I totally could relate and connect with other parents that are dealing with the same things. Most bloggers tend to have younger children so we never really see ambassador programs or blog tours to cater around tweens and teens.  I feel that this campaign opened up the communication lines between mothers and daughters.   My daughter also enjoyed the campaign because I let her help me cover the topics that she felt was important for other moms or tweens that are just starting this process.   I am so happy to see that our generation is actually talking more about these issues and preparing girls even before they start their period.  I know when I was younger that was just something that was not openly talked about in till you started and even then it was just the basics.

I can’t start to tell you how much I appreciate all Kotex has done to help parents and teens have open conversations about periods on their page at www.kotex.com/tween . This site is a great reference to prepare for your talk with your daughter and then they have www.ubykotex.com/helloperiod  that is perfect for tweens and teens that have questions or they can even read other teen’s stories about their period. We need to let these girls know periods are normal and it’s not something they should be embarrassed about.

With the new Kotex tween products specially made for young girls they can carry their pads and tampons in style.  by Kotex Tween* pads come in vibrant colors and patterns, have a special cover to ensure they stay dry, plus an absorbent core to lock fluid away and help prevent leaks. These are perfect! My daughter loves them and is not embarrassed to carry them in her bag. So make sure to pick  up your daughter some and give them a try!

Remember it’s our job as moms to prepare our girls. As Mother’s we only give our children facts and the truth.  Don’t trust anyone else to handle a topic like this that is so important.

I wrote this review while participating in a Brand Ambassador Campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of U by Kotex Tween and received products to facilitate my post and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.
