Hi, for reasons beyond anyone's control (please don't ask) I may not be around when my 11 year old starts her periods. It's probably best not left to her lovely Dad, so I am trying to get some kit in advance. I think I get that girls need to be a minimum weight before they start, but she is likely to still be very slender. She is nowhere near any physical signs of puberty at the moment. I am thinking of a variety of things she can try, including period pants but wonder if there are any small enough to fit - her waist is still about 21-22 inches and hasn't shifted much for years. Ideally simple stuff that she doesn't need to ask anyone about if she doesn't want to. I would of course try to talk her through it once I have the kit, but it might not make much sense to her at the moment. And any websites or other sources that she can turn to? We have already talked about the biology, and as I write this I am very aware of the many other topics around puberty I may need to think about as well - any thoughts on those? She is in some ways a young Y6 and so far is absolutely not interested in boys, make-up etc, still believing in the Scandi Big Fella in Red, bless her, which was just fine by me until I realised there's going to be some advance work to do when she probably isn't at all interested! Thanks so much - and Happy Easter. Apologies if I might not reply to any responses: it won't mean I'm not grateful but there's a lot going on at the moment.
