Oh friends, we all have our own monthly battles with our periods. For me, it’s harsh mood swings, chocolate cravings, and cramps that make me keel over. As women, we know our bodies are powerful (we make babies!), but we would probably be lying if we didn’t admit to cursing womanhood once or twice during our monthly menses.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure if it’s just in my head, but the older I get, the less forgiving my periods seem to be. It seems as if over the years, my mood swings have taken on a new life. In an effort to help me combat my monthly symptoms, I created a DIY emergency period kit, which contains all the necessary supplies I’ll need to help keep me balanced and cared for.<\/p>\n

Naturally I included tampons and pads. I know I’m extremely particular and have special requirements of my tampons and pads, which is why I included U by Kotex. The U by Kotex\u00ae Click\u00ae goes from compact to full-sized protection in one click. Perfect for when you want to carry a spare in your pocket. U by Kotex\u00ae<\/a> Sleek\u00ae <\/span>Tampons have a PerfectTouch Grip for perfect placement and a smooth tip for easy insertion, so you can hit the pool (or do whatever else you want!). U by Kotex\u00ae 3D Capture Core\u00ae With Xpress DRI quickly draws in and locks away wetness. All bases covered. And I do mean covered.<\/p>\n

To satisfy my chocolate cravings, I also included a few treats. It’s either indulge or rage. I choose indulge.<\/p>\n

To help ease my cramps, I included some pain relievers and a heating pad.<\/p>\n

I found all of my emergency period kit items at my local CVS, where you can go to create your own DIY emergency period kit with U by Kotex\u00ae<\/a> products. Click here for $2.00 off any U by Kotex product at CVS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During our periods, it’s important to take care of ourselves and treat our symptoms so we can continue being the rockstars we know we can be. Creating a kit like this one may seem humorous, but it can truly make a difference when that time rolls around and you’re armed with everything you need.<\/p>\n

Be sure to check out the Daily Break website to learn more about U by Kotex\u00ae and enter yourself for a chance to win a$250 gift card to CVS.<\/h2>\n
