What We Wish We Knew Before Our First Period: Breaking the Taboo

Getting your first period is a milestone, but let’s be honest—it can also be confusing and a little scary. With so many myths and so little open discussion, many of us entered this stage of life feeling unprepared. At Clever Little, we’re passionate about breaking the stigma around periods and empowering young people with the tools and knowledge they need to embrace this important transition.

Here’s what we wish we’d known before starting our periods—and how our First-Time Period Packs can make all the difference.

What We Wish We’d Known About First Periods

1. It’s Normal to Feel Overwhelmed
   Starting your period for the first time can be a mix of emotions—excitement, anxiety, and maybe even embarrassment. But here’s the truth: it’s nothing to be scared of. Your body is simply doing what it’s meant to do, and it’s a natural part of growing up.

2. Every Period Is Different
   No two people experience periods the same way. Your flow, cycle length, and even how you feel during your period will be unique to you. It’s important to listen to your body and figure out what works best for you.

3. Preparation Is Key
   One of the hardest parts of getting your first period is feeling unprepared. Whether it’s not having the right products on hand or not knowing what to expect, preparation can ease so much of the anxiety.

Why Breaking the Taboo Matters

For too long, periods have been shrouded in secrecy and shame, leaving many of us to navigate this experience in silence. By normalizing conversations about periods and offering practical solutions, we can empower the next generation to embrace their cycles with confidence.

Your first period is a natural part of life, and it should feel empowering—not stressful. By sharing what we wish we’d known and creating tools like our First-Time Period Packs, we’re here to help you (or a loved one) feel supported every step of the way.
