How do I tell my parents that I've got my period?
Hey, bringing up your period can feel awkward, so having a few words ready can make it easier 🎀
You could keep it simple and say, “Just so you know, I’ve started my period, and I might need some supplies.”
If saying it face to face feels too hard, you could send a text or write a note instead.
You could also mention it in passing, like, “Can we pick up some pads or tampons next time we’re out?” 💛
A parent or trusted adult will probably appreciate you being upfront and want to help.
Periods are a normal part of life, and there’s nothing to be embarrassed about 🫶
Hope this makes the conversation feel a bit easier 🌸
