First Period Stories 🌙

Your first period is a milestone — exciting, confusing, and sometimes a little scary. But every story is unique, and hearing how others experienced theirs can make the journey feel less intimidating and more empowering.

At Moonaayaa, we believe that sharing real experiences helps girls and women feel proud, prepared, and confident. Here are inspiring first period stories from real women — from awkward beginnings to moments of strength.

🩸 Story 1: “The Surprise in School”

"I was 12, in the middle of math class, when I noticed my first period had started. I panicked! Luckily, my teacher was understanding, and I had a Moonaayaa pad in my bag thanks to a school health kit. It was awkward at first, but I realized everyone goes through this — and I felt proud that I managed it calmly." — Aisha, 19

🩸 Story 2: “Learning to Trust My Body”

"I had always been nervous about my period. When it finally came at 13, I felt clumsy and embarrassed. But over time, I realized it was my body signaling growth and strength. Keeping a Moonaayaa pad kit in my backpack helped me feel secure and confident." — Mei Ling, 17

🩸 Story 3: “Bonding with My Sister”

"My first period came while I was at home alone. I called my older sister in tears. She shared her own first-period story, and we laughed about all the little accidents. It made me feel connected and proud, not ashamed." — Sofia, 16

🌙 Why Sharing Stories Matters
