Growing up

This is a great question – let's dive in 💕

Having an emergency pouch in your school bag can be really useful. Different people put different things in their bags depending on their needs but below is a list of some items that you could consider:

  • Period products, like tampons and pads
  • Plasters
  • A lip balm
  • Hand sanitiser
  • Tissues or wipes
  • Hair ties and pins
  • Some painkillers, like paracetamol or ibuprofen (super useful if you get period cramps!)
  • Spare contacts (if you wear them)
  • Deodorant or perfume (you can get little refillable bottles that you can fill with your favourite scent)
  • Portable charger
  • A spare pair of underwear (just in case of period leaks)
  • Mints or chewing gum (a lot of schools don't allow gum so be wary of this)
  • Maybe a snack bar in case you get hungry... or chocolate 👀 (though this could melt in the summer months!)
  • If you want to get your hands on a luna pouch, then head to the 'luna points' section on the homepage and get referring your friends - they are super cute 💕

Hope this helps ❤️
