U by Kotex products

I am a person who likes to try new things. So I got my period and I walked into my local pharmacy and I seen the "sleek" tampons. Now I have never been able to comfortably wear a tampon, BUT I'm always willing to try new things. So I brought them home and the packaging was great! Black! So you couldn't see the nasty-ness of the applicator. So as I unwrapped the rest of it, the rubber on the applicator was a great thing too!  No slip! I was in heaven. Since then I have gotten the "click" and once again, I have fallen in love. So compact and great colored pacakging. I simply love my U by Kotex products! They allow me the freedom to do what I want to do without feeling uncomfortable about my period. I feel safe from leaks! I also love the colorful packaging. I’ve also made so many great new friends and learned tons about my health and body by being a part of Team U by Kotex! I am sharing with you my thoughts on U by Kotex and making it more confortable to talk vaginal health and periods with Generation Know. I am part of Team U by Kotex and Generation Know and these are my thoughts.

Feminine Health Advice

When I first got my period I was with my dad. No  one told me about bringing pads with me. Every time I went to the bathroom and brought my ‘purse’ with me, I could tell that the family was looking at me and I felt so embarrassed. Or i would make sure to removed the pad carefully and make as little noise as possible! That was just uderly silly! That’s why I am a part of Team U by Kotex and Generation Know to let the next generation of girls, like my niece in law Alyssa, know that having your period is nothing to be ashamed of and that it is awesome being a woman! She just had a baby girl so she can now pass down the Generation Know advice that I have been giving her.

Girls For A Change!

Welcome to another blog post :) Today I am writing about "Girls For A Change", a team U by Kotex challenge. I am part of Team U By Kotex and we are trying to spread the word about feminine health and how it really is ok to talk about periods, vaginas and reproductive health. Here is my story....I was born 15 years after my oldest sister and 11 years after my middle sister. So when I was stating my period, they were in there mid to late 20's and already out of the house. My mom was a single mother and we never talked about periods and what I was about to experience. My dad was very much in my life and I seen him every other weekend. Well, one of those weekends I started my period. I had NOBODY! I was so scared. I had to use toilet paper cause I just couldn't go to my dad! (In a sarcastic voice LOL) But I really couldn't. So I got home and my mom was doing my laundry. She asked me about the stains on my underwear. I told her it was a wet fart and it was never brought up again. I was, and I hate to say it, ashamed. Well not anymore! I am in my 30's and loud and proud of my period. It really is a wonderful thing. Ya they cramps suck, but what amazing thing your body is doing, it surpasses the pain. So since I am more bold and open, Team U by Kotex, Generation Know and a group of wonderful woman, including myself, are spreading the word about period health and truths. I want to let every woman, young and old, that only WE can make this an open conversation. So come help me spread the word.
