Soso is in the news! Come see where we’ve been featured
From an idea built for girls to being featured by major outlets: come see where Soso has already appeared and get to know a little more about our story.
Soso is growing, and our story is reaching more and more people! Since launching in January 2026, the app has been helping more girls understand their periods, puberty, and all the changes that come with this stage of life.
That growth has caught the attention of the press, too. Over the past few months, different Brazilian outlets have discovered Soso and published stories about the app, how it came to be, and why giving girls reliable information matters so much during this stage.
And as Soso’s Mom, I want to share this exciting milestone with you. Come see where Soso has already been featured and learn a little more about a story that’s only just beginning.
Soso’s story is reaching more people
Soso started with a very simple idea: helping girls understand their periods, puberty, and all the changes that come with this stage of life.
After lots of planning, the app officially launched in January 2026. Since then, it’s already reached thousands of girls.
Now, Soso’s story is getting attention beyond the app, too. Some Brazilian outlets have discovered what we’re building and decided to share our story with their readers.
And that makes us really happy because it means even more girls can discover a place created to help them make sense of everything that’s happening.
Every girl who discovers Soso can find answers to those questions that sometimes pop into your head out of nowhere. And she can learn that having questions about your body is completely normal.

Soso’s story has already been featured by different Brazilian outlets. We’ve been covered by technology websites, news portals, and publications that talk about everyday life.

It’s pretty cool to see Soso being talked about in different ways and reaching people who might not have heard of the app before.
And who knows? Maybe you’ll read one of these stories and think, “Wait, I already know Soso!”
Why is it so important to talk about periods and puberty?
If you’re getting close to your first period, you may already be noticing some changes in your body. Your breasts may start to develop, body hair may appear, and your body may start to change shape. You might also have questions you’ve never thought about before.
And you know what? You don’t have to feel embarrassed about asking them. Having questions is a big part of learning. Puberty happens little by little, and every girl goes through these changes at her own pace.
Your first period can also bring up lots of questions. How will I know when it’s coming? What should I do when I get my period? Can I go to school while I’m on my period? How do I use a pad? What should I keep in my backpack?
You don’t have to figure it all out at once. Having the right information can help you know what to expect and feel more prepared for what’s ahead.
Information can help you feel prepared
When you understand what can happen during puberty, some things may feel a little less unfamiliar. You start to recognize changes in your body and understand that many of them are a normal part of growing up.
That doesn’t mean you’ll know exactly when your first period will come. Every body has its own timeline. What matters is having reliable information so you’ll know what to do when the time comes.
And when you have a question, ask it. You can talk to your mom, dad, someone in your family, a trusted adult, or look for information from reliable sources.

What do the numbers tell us about Soso?
Maybe you’re curious to know how many girls have already discovered Soso. And I’ve got some really good news to share!
As of September 2026, Soso already has 21,000 active users. This number is always changing as more girls discover the app and start using it. That’s why, whenever we talk about how many people use Soso, it’s also important to say when that number was recorded.
For us, these numbers mean much more than just numbers. They show that many girls are looking for information about their bodies and that Soso is reaching more of them.

Soso is reaching more girls
When we created Soso, we wanted you to find information in a way that’s simple and easy to understand. After all, when it comes to your body, you shouldn’t need to know a bunch of complicated words just to find an answer.
That’s why seeing Soso featured by different Brazilian outlets is so special. A story can help a girl who’s never heard of the app discover that it’s here.
And maybe she’s just starting to notice the first changes of puberty.
Maybe she’s nervous about asking something. Maybe she’s curious. Maybe she just wants to understand what’s happening. Whatever her question is, reliable information can help.
And if you already know Soso, you can celebrate with us. This story is yours, too.
And this story is just getting started
Soso still has so much ahead of it and so many stories to tell. We want to keep reaching more girls and creating content that makes sense to you, especially when you have a question that’s hard to put into words.
If you’re getting close to your first period, remember this: there’s no right or wrong way to feel about it. You might be excited, curious, nervous, calm, or a little bit of everything. Every girl experiences this stage in her own way.
What matters is that you don’t have to be afraid to look for information or ask questions. Your body is changing, and you deserve to understand what’s happening.
And I’ll keep being here, cheering you on and hoping you’ll never feel like you have to be embarrassed to ask a question.
