One of the reasons we created Control period pain relief cream was to give parents a way to give their daughters a way to stop period pain naturally. While Control can be used by anyone suffering from period cramps, we love being able to tell parents that their daughters can apply this cream wherever they want for fast acting, natural cramp relief! 

In today’s post, we’re reaching out to those parents who are ordering their product for their teens and preteens and giving you some tips for talking to your daughter about periods. Read on to learn more about how to start (and continue) conversations around women’s health, and order Control natural cramp relief cream for your daughter today!

Talk About What to Expect 

There’s still stigma and shame around menstruation, and it can be a sensitive topic. Know, though, that the longer you wait to bring it up, the harder it will be to talk about! If you wait until your daughter has her first period to talk with her about menstruation, then it will most likely be a more difficult conversation than if you started earlier and talked with her about what to expect. After all, every girl worries about her first period. What’s most important to convey is that every person is different, and there’s no such thing as normal! While one person may experience intense period cramps, another might feel nothing. If your daughter does suffer from cramps, you can let her know that there are natural cramp relief options, like Control topical pain cream.

Rather than talking with your daughter about periods, you should try to have a larger conversation about puberty and biology. Be direct, even if it makes both of you uncomfortable. Talk to her about some symptoms that she might start experiencing before her period, like growing underarm hair or experiencing a growth spurt. It can also help to give her a tool kit of things she might need, like pads, tampons, and deodorant. If your girl is worried about period pain, you can also order a tube of Control natural cramp relief pain too!

Find the Right Time

Talking to your daughter about periods can be a little awkward. After all, it probably seems like yesterday that your girl was heading off to kindergarten. One of the main obstacles you have to overcome in preparing your daughter for puberty is getting over your own discomfort and feelings. If you find the conversation challenging, you should talk with a friend or partner about how your feeling. You can even practice having the conversation with them before talking with your child!

You can, and should, look for other resources like good books and videos that you can share with your daughter to supplement the conversation. Your family doctor is also a great resource for ways to talk about menstruation and puberty — they’ve helped a lot of girls and their parents just like you! You can also coordinate conversations with health lessons that your daughter is receiving in school, and you can ask her teachers for advice.

Here at Control, we want to stress to every girl going through puberty that getting your period is normal! And while cramps can be painful, getting a period is a sign that your body is working properly and growing up. And if your daughter does find that she has painful cramping, you can offer her a natural cramp relief, like Control pain relief cream to help stop period pain.
