Back to School Period Prep: What Every Girl Needs in Her Backpack

Back to school means new teachers, new schedules, and for a lot of girls — the very real possibility of getting their period at school with nothing to handle it.

The good news: being prepared takes less than two dollars.

Why Period Prep Matters at School

1 in 4 students misses school because they don’t have access to period products. That’s a math class, a test, a practice — gone. It doesn’t have to be that way.

What Every Girl Needs in Her Backpack

The basics are simple:

• A pad for reliable protection
• A tampon for active days — PE, sports, swimming
• A hygiene wipe for freshening up between classes

The femPAQ 3-in-1 Teen Period Kit has all three in one discreet, backpack-ready pack. Small enough to slip into a side pocket. Affordable enough to keep a few on hand.
