    Lovely box, Kelly. Yes, I used to send menstrual pads in my 10-14 girl boxes, but have not included them in a while. Just my personal choice due to cost, space and trying to pack more fun. That’s not to say I would never pack them. I still think it’s an important item to include. My favorites in this box are the crocs and backpack. I love that you decorated it with a cute iron on patch. TFS this one ❤

      Thank you, Trish! It’s really good to hear your perspective as an experienced packer! I have been hesitant to send them in the past, as I agree that FUN should be the main focus for our boxes. ❤ I will probably start adding them more often, but just as a nice addition if I can fit them. Dollar Tree has had some cute iron on decals, I loved that sparkly gold star when I saw it. It was a two-pack, so I have another sparkly smiley face still. 😊

    Yes I send a menstrual kit in my 10-14 yr old girls boxes. I started that this year. I never thought about it before but I heard on a video that the girls can’t go to school when they are having their periods if they don’t have them. Your box is full of awesome things! I loved it and I’m sure the girl that receives it will love it as well!

    I send menstrual pads in some but not all 10-14 girl boxes. I like to split up a set of 6 from Amazon between 3 boxes so it’s not a huge part of the box but they’re still there.

    This box is wonderful - wow! Shoes and pads and all the school supplies (especially love the backpack) will be a tremendous blessing. I have watched some documentaries and testimonies about the issues girls face around the world in getting an education - it breaks my heart. I include pads in all my 10-14 girl boxes as well - thank you for highlighting this in your video! You included so many other fun items like the clay - and packaged it so well. You packed a softie owl and a fidget which are fun and also comforting. I love all your ideas! 💗

    Congrats to Tammy, you won a beautiful baby doll! This is a great "back to school" box. I personally have packed only a few boxes with hygiene pads, but mainly because I just don't have the room. My boxes tend to be stuffed, and trying to decide what to remove is a challenge for me. I do think they are a great idea and a real blessing. TFS! ❤😊

    I used to send menstrual pads however my boxes always go to the Dominican and the missionaries in the Dominican that I spoke with said that the girls throw them away because they don't dry in time to use again. However I am thinking that perhaps someone made pads and sent them that were a little fuller than they needed to be and that's what happened because the ones from Amazon are rather thin. if I ever did it again I would would make sure that they were the thin style. However I know there's numerous countries that they go to that this would not be an issue with, and therefore I do believe they are a wonderful helpful item

    Hi Kelly! Yes, I am sending the reusable pads this year once I learned that girls miss school every month otherwise. I've sown them all this year. I'm so glad to hear all the feedback you have received about them. Mine are made with a thin super absorbent layer, so I'm praying they don't get thrown away!
