You're not alone in this

"I don't know what to actually buy."
— Parent of a 10-year-old
"She won't talk to me about it."
— Mum of a teen
"The GP said 'it's normal' and sent us home."
— Dad of a 14-year-old

Meet your guide

Built by a student nurse. Written for parents.

MenstrualBae isn't another period tracker. It's a health-advocate toolkit — and this is the parent version. Every article is NHS-aligned and reviewed by clinicians.

About Ruvimbo

The plan

Three steps. That's it.

  1. Read the parent guide

    12 short reads across three tracks: before her first period, products & pain relief, and talking to school & the GP.

    Open

  2. Build a starter kit

    Follow the shopping list. Stock the bathroom, the school bag and the bedroom drawer in one go — no 7am scrambles.

    Open

  3. Walk into the GP prepared

    Together, build a one-page summary the GP can read in 30 seconds. Get her taken seriously the first time.

What's inside

Twelve short reads, three tracks.

Before the first period

Get ready before the day comes — what to prepare, what to say, what's coming.

Products, kit & pain relief

Shopping lists, what to buy at what age, and how to help when it hurts.

Talking, school & the GP

Scripts, school rights, and how to walk into a GP appointment prepared.

Two ways this can go.

Without a plan

  • Panic-scrolling Mumsnet at 11pm.
  • Wrong products, wrong sizes, four Boots trips.
  • "Everyone gets cramps" — pain gets normalised.
  • GP appointment ends with paracetamol and a shrug.
  • She stops telling you when things aren't right.

With a plan

  • You know the shopping list. Kit lives in three places.
  • You know what's normal, what's not, and what to do about it.
  • She has scripts. You have scripts.
  • GP appointment has a one-page summary and a next step.
  • She keeps talking to you — because being with her works.

A reminder

You don't need to be an expert. You just need to be there.

We'll handle the biology, the red flags and the GP scripts. You bring the hot water bottle.
