Words to uplift, inspire, and normalise one of life’s biggest transitions
There’s something quietly powerful about hearing just the right words at the right time — especially during life’s big milestones. At Ulluv, we believe that a girl’s first period should be a moment of empowerment, not embarrassment. And one of the simplest ways to reinforce that message? Words of encouragement that she can carry with her.
Whether you’re including a quote in a first period kit, writing a card, or sticking a message on a mirror, here are some of our favourite period-positive quotes to uplift young women as they step into this new chapter:
This is a powerful reminder that periods are not something to hide — they’re a vital part of womanhood and health.
Just like the moon and the seasons, our bodies move in cycles. This quote celebrates that natural rhythm and helps young girls see themselves as connected to something bigger.
Hormones bring heightened emotions, and that’s not a flaw. It’s a sign of inner awareness and emotional intelligence.
This quote reframes menstruation as a step toward self-knowledge, not something that takes anything away.
Sometimes all a girl needs is reassurance that she’s doing just fine, even when things feel new and a bit overwhelming.
This quote helps flip the script. It reminds girls that having a period is something to be proud of, not ashamed of.
Tuck one into a First Period Kit
Write one on the bathroom mirror
Include one in a card from a mum, aunt or older sister
Display on a corkboard or bedside table with a mini easel
The first few experiences around periods can shape how a girl feels about her body for years to come. By surrounding her with kindness, truth, and strength-filled messages, we remind her that there is no shame in being a young woman — only pride.
At Ulluv, every first period box we create is packed not just with pads and practical essentials, but with respect, care, and the belief that young girls deserve to feel celebrated.
