We've been asked by Lil-Lets to find out your best tips for this sometimes tricky conversation.
Lil-Lets have just launched a new range of teen towels as well as a website //www.becomingateen.co.uk which "is full of information and advice for young girls about puberty and periods, what products are available and how to use them correctly. The website includes a downloadable booklet and lots of helpful videos".
The new teen towels have been developed in consultation with a panel of teen girls - they are smaller and narrower than standard towels - and they say "Lil-Lets teens ultra towels are the only towels in the UK specifically designed to fit younger bodies. Despite being smaller, they're more absorbent than the leading adult towel and are available in day and night sizes. Prettily packaged in a drawstring bag with ribbons and a removable sleeve for ultimate discretion, each individual towel also comes in a whisper wrapper".
Lil-Lets would love to include some wisdom on their site, from Mumsnet mums who have experienced their DD going through puberty or who have had the chat.
So, please share your experiences here - let us know - how you approached your DD, or did she ask you? Did you or your DD find it a tricky conversation, or did it bring you closer? How did it make you feel talking to your DD about periods? What tips would you share with other mums or with other young girls? What advice would your DD give to someone else her age? How do other family members react to this stage in development - eg dads, brothers, older or younger sisters? What was easy about the chat, and what was more tricky?
Lil-lets are also keen to get your feedback on the product and packaging, and would also love to hear any suggestions for improving this.
Everyone who posts on this thread will be entered into a prize draw where one winner will get a £100 Love2Shop voucher.
Stories and tips may be used on the Lil-lets website //www.becomingateen.co.uk but your MN name will not be used.
Thanks and good luck
