Femcare Gifts for Your Daughter|Self-care for Parents and Daughters to Support First Period & Menstruation

A gift for your daughter

Femcare gifts for your daughter.

From her first body changes to the comfort of being able to choose for herself.

Whether it's for her first period, for period days at school or work, or for daily self-care during busy routines, we've gathered items that you can choose with her, according to changes in her body and lifestyle.

Choose with her

Don't choose for her; choose with her.

Discussions about one's body can be difficult, even between parents and children. What you choose with good intentions might not be suitable for her. Start by asking her what troubles her or what she would like to try, and together, explore options that make her feel comfortable.

Instead of "Use this,"
ask "What kind of product would make you feel comfortable?"

Choose by purpose

Choose according to your daughter's current needs.

Please choose based on her lifestyle, experiences, and preferences, rather than her age or your own wishes.

How to choose

What to value before giving a gift.

Even between parents and children, matters of the body are personal. Respect her choice if she doesn't want to talk about it or doesn't want to use something.

01

Ask what's troubling her

Don't rush for an answer; ask "Is anything troubling you?" to the extent she wants to talk.

02

Look at options together

Explain the differences between products and choose something that makes her feel comfortable or that she wants to try.

03

Check size and age-appropriateness

Confirm the size of shorts, the age-appropriateness of the product, usage, and precautions before purchasing.

04

Respect her choice not to use it

Even after giving a gift, she decides when and if to use it. It's important not to impose your choices.

Words to start with

Being able to talk about her body is also a gift.

There's no need to pry for details. Simply letting her know that she can consult you when she's troubled, that there's not just one option, and that she's free to decide can bring her peace of mind.

  • Do you have any difficulties at school or when out and about?
  • Is there anything inconvenient about what you're currently using?
  • If there's anything you're curious about, shall we look at it together?
  • It's okay if you don't want to talk about it.

A gift for your daughter

Transform "Always feel free to ask me" into care she can choose with confidence.

Whether it's before her first period, for her birthday, a new life phase, or starting school/work. Give a gift that encourages her to learn about her body and choose what suits her.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it okay to prepare absorbent shorts before her first period?
Yes, it is possible to prepare them before menarche. However, since there are preferences for size and comfort, we recommend explaining the purpose to her and choosing together. Please also check the applicable size and usage for each product.
Is it okay to give a surprise gift without consulting her?
For items that are used directly on the body or require specific sizing, it's safer to choose after confirming her wishes. Instead of a surprise, we recommend showing her options and letting her choose.
Can minors use menstrual cups?
Age-appropriateness, size, and usage precautions vary by product. Even if she is interested, thoroughly check the product description, and if there are concerns, do not force the choice and consult a medical professional if necessary.
If she has severe menstrual pain, will using the product improve it?
Self-care products are not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment. If the pain is severe, interferes with school or daily life, if bleeding is heavy, or if symptoms persist, please consult a medical institution such as a gynecologist or a pediatric/adolescent clinic.
Can I see the products in person before purchasing?
Yes. At fermata's pop-up stores, you can physically examine some products. Please check the pop-up store information page for operating days and event details.
Can I consult someone if I don't know what to choose?
Yes. You can consult us via fermata's official LINE. Please share her age, size, past experiences, and situations she's struggling with, to the extent she feels comfortable sharing.
