Getting your period at school without realizing it can feel stressful, but it’s a common experience, and there are simple steps you can take to handle it.

Advice:

• Stay Calm: Remember, this happens to many people, and it’s nothing to be embarrassed about.

• Ask for Help: If you don’t have supplies, ask a friend, teacher, or the school nurse for a pad or tampon. If none are available, you can use rolled-up toilet paper as a temporary solution until you get proper products.

• Be Prepared in the Future: Consider keeping a small period kit in your backpack or locker. A great option is the Organic Period 2 GO Kit, which includes organic tampons or pads, panty liners, disposal pouches, and wipes—all in a cute travel bag that’s easy to carry.
