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.
