Small sanitary towels for 12 year old?

Thanks for all the answers - I dont like the idea of tampons at all for this age - will try some of the ideas given! I suppose its just trial and error to find the right kind.....I loved the Pogo bag but at £15 I thought it quite dear!

you can get a small make up bag or pencil case that she could use to keep in her school bag just in case she comes on when not expecting it and for keeping painkillers if needed, cheaper than the pogo bag.

It's down to the girl in questions personal choice really, I & all of my friends used tampons from the start, none ever had problems at all, that's not to say people don't have problems with them but tampons are so much easier & more convenient. I think if I had periods now i'd try this moon cup I keep hearing about but I don't so that's good!

I say give her a choice of both & she'll decide what's right for her.

Ah right, I hadn't realised it was a paid for thing (I have boys and am well past the age when it would be relevant for ME!)

Well, I would look at the websites for all the towel brands you can think of, I'd be surprised if they didn't nearly all have freebies / information packs you could send off for to get a range of things to try.

And yes, any small make-up bag will do, one your DD likes would be best. I also have the tin which was free with some towels not long ago, and various pouches and plastic holders I've accumulated over the years. On the whole though I prefer a make-up bag, it absolutely doesn't look like something that has my towels in it, whereas another girl might recognise the tin for what it was.
