Let’s get a little personal, shall we? Ever since I was 11 years-old I’ve been a woman. Well, in the scientific sense of the word, it’s true. I was the only 5th grader with a purse full of feminine products. At the time, I thought it was the most dreadful thing EVER! As the years went on, preparing and carrying my feminine kit around was no big deal. But when I reached high school, things changed. My periods got worse, much heavier and I had a few embarrassing moments due to, well…”accidents”.

Once I entered my 20’s, it was almost unbearable. After several trips to the doctor, nights of moaning and curling up on the cold floor in a ball, rocking back and forth crying, I found out I suffered from extremely heavy periods and the doctor’s worried I’d have endometrioses. Thankfully, I didn’t and was finally able to get things under control, thanks to finally figuring out the right birth control method for my body. Now, my monthly cycle is a breeze and thanks to U by Kotex Curves® and U by Kotex® Lightdays Liners I don’t fear those accidents anymore!

Now that I’m surviving my cycle, I am beyond thrilled to have my life back. I always carry my feminine survival kit with me once a month; I even have one in my car and one at work. Being a woman is tough sometimes, but it’s also a blessing.  When it comes to our time of the month, U by Kotex Curves® and U by Kotex® Lightdays Liners are a must have. Adding them to my survival kit has been a lifesaver. I feel comfortable wearing them and the price (between $5.99 and $7.99) is very reasonable. I feel protected during the days leading up to my cycle, as well as those 2 or 3 days after. They’re lightweight, not bulky, and can fit in your purse with so much ease.

I believe that as women, we’re equipped with an undeniable amount of strength. We deal with and take on so much and we always have to be prepared. So what’s in my Survival Cycle Kit?

1. U by Kotex Curves® and U by Kotex® Lightdays Liners

2. Chocolate (preferably Goobers)

3. Water

4. Fashion Magazines

5. Pain Meds (to cure the stomach, back, and pelvis pain)
