everything you need to talk about periods confidently…<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Starting the conversation about periods can be daunting, knowing what to say and most importantly what not to say! <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a parent or carer of a young person we actively encourage you to get yourself clued up on periods, regardless of your child\u2019s gender.
\nMaybe your child is coming up to puberty and you would like to prepare yourself on how to talk confidently on the changes that their bodies might go through. We\u2019re here to help! <\/p>\n

We have lots of resources that can be downloaded, viewed online or in person via our First Period<\/a> or Pads 4 Dads<\/a> kits that contain a selection of products and a ‘go to guide’ for all things periods.<\/p>\n

We believe in a better period for everyone, so enjoy our inclusive resources for free.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

don\u2019t leave dads out of the conversation\u2026<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We know talking to young people about puberty can be awkward. Chatting about periods can be even harder, especially if you don\u2019t experience them yourself. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Obviously, every Dad is different \u2013 but many that we spoke to said they don\u2019t know enough about periods to feel confident having \u2018the chat\u2019 with their kids.
\nChances are no one told them about periods when they were younger, or maybe they just feel a bit awkward and leave things to Mum.<\/p>\n

We think it\u2019s a bit nuts that around half the population has a period almost every month, but that they can still be seen as secret and shameful.
\nWe\u2019re pushing for better education about periods in schools for all pupils so we can end the stigma around periods.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Dads have told us that they need a helping hand.
\nSo, we have created Pads 4 Dads \u2013 a quick overview by Dads for Dads \u2013 to help you have positive conversations with all your kids about periods.<\/p>\n
