Oh no, I don't have a makeup bag/pouch

Oh, girl, no worries if you don't have a super chic makeup bag or pouch to carry your period stuff! You can totally improvise, I swear!

What to use instead of a pouch

Any small pouch will do! Like, think of that one that came with a makeup set you got, or a chunkier coin purse, or even those that come in gift boxes. The important thing is that it fits the basics and that you feel comfortable carrying it in your backpack, you know?

If you don't have any of those, check this out: a little cloth bag like the ones we use for jewelry, a cute empty tissue packet, or even a pencil case you're not using anymore. What matters is that the pad and whatever else you need is hidden and protected, and that it's easy to grab when you need it.

What to put inside

• One or two pads: You never know when your period will arrive, right? It's good to have a spare.
• A wet wipe: To feel cleaner and fresher quickly.
• A small plastic bag: To wrap a used pad before throwing it in the trash, so it doesn't make a mess or smell. Some pads already come with their own disposal bag, which is great!

Having a special little place for these things gives you more peace of mind, like, you know you're prepared for anything. And the Sosô app also helps predict when your period will arrive, so you won't be caught by surprise! But the main thing is to feel comfortable and safe.
