Sprawg & Co.
A GIRL’S FIRST PERIOD CAN BE SCARY
Sprawg & Co. helps remove stigma, makes it easier for girls, parents
When Sonia Nicholson thought her 10 year old daughter had begun her period, she wanted to do something to make her feel special. Mrs. Nicholson remembered from her own childhood how scary it can be to start the journey from girl to little lady. She wanted to let her daughter know that it was perfectly natural to be self-conscious during these changes and that she would be ok if she had the right tools and information.
Mrs. Nicholson began to gather products that would help her daughter get through this transition. There were the necessities of course: pads, pantiliners, and sanitary napkins. But she also found fun stuff like scented body wash, fruity SPF 15 lip balm, and a journal. She placed everything in a gift box, wrapped it with a colorful bow, and included an encouraging note.
The box was such a big hit with her daughter and her friends that Mrs. Nicholson began to think that she might be on to something. Instead of parents having to run all over town and gather the items for the box like she did, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to buy the “period kit” already assembled? This is how Sprawg & Co. was born.
Sprawg & Co. provides products that make girls feel special and empowered during their puberty years. The original kit that Mrs. Nicholson assembled for her daughter has evolved into two unique gift boxes and her own line of skin care products, most of which are organic. She has written an informative booklet that is included in each box. It is a great way to begin a dialogue on the subject of menstruation and puberty. The boxes themselves are beautifully presented and discreet. They are a great resource for single dads or any parent that feels uncomfortable talking to their daughter about her oncoming period.
Sprawg & Co.'s First Period Kits are available in two versions; Sprawgette Kit and Sprawgettini Kit. For more information, please visit www.sprawg.com
