How to Make a Period Pack for Teens: A Simple, Affordable Guide

A first period can feel overwhelming for teens — and for parents too. Creating a period starter pack for teens is one of the easiest ways to help them feel prepared, confident, and supported. The good news? You don’t need to spend a lot. With affordable, trusted products from Savers, you can build a thoughtful kit that covers all the period essentials without breaking the bank.

This guide walks you through exactly what to include, why each item matters, and how to keep things teen-friendly and discreet.

Why a Period Starter Pack for Teens Matters

Periods often arrive unexpectedly, and many teens feel embarrassed asking for help at first.

A well-put-together period pack:

• Normalises periods and removes stigma
• Helps teens feel prepared at school or out with friends
• Encourages good hygiene habits early
• Gives peace of mind to both teens and parents

Whether it’s for a first period or just a backup kit, a period starter pack is a small gesture that makes a big difference.

Period Essentials Every Teen Period Pack Should Include

Sanitary Towels (Pads)

Pads are usually the easiest product for teens to start with. They’re simple to use, comfortable, and don’t require insertion.

Always Sensitive Normal Ultra 14s – ideal for lighter to regular flow

These packs are affordable at around £1, making them perfect for a starter kit and easy to restock!

Top Tip: Include two different sizes so teens can learn what works best for their flow.

Tampons (optional, but helpful)

Not all teens will want to use tampons straight away — and that’s completely okay. Including them as an option gives choice without pressure.

Handy Extras to Complete the Period Pack

To make the period starter pack for teens even more useful, consider adding:

• A small makeup or zip pouch (discreet and easy to carry in a school bag)
• Panty liners for light days
• Disposal bags or scented nappy sacks
• Pain relief (if appropriate)
• A spare pair of underwear
• A short, reassuring note reminding them periods are normal 💛

A period doesn’t have to be scary and a period starter pack for teens is a simple way to turn uncertainty into confidence. By choosing affordable period essentials from Savers, you’re showing teens that periods are normal, manageable, and nothing to be ashamed of.
