I got mine at 9 you might like to make her a af basket with pads, a book about it, heating pad and a little something like a bracelet to mark the occasion so she understands its a part of growing up and nothing to be ashamed of.
I got mine at 11&1/2. My daughter just got hers Sunday. She's 10&1/2. She knew a little bout it from me. But she freaked out a little. I gave her pads. Thank goodness its lite. She's tall(over 5'1) & got a bit of weight to her. She's had hair growing for a few months maybe since summer.Can't be sure but she's growing breasts too. Its almost gone & it was a light one thank goodness!!
I was 11 but my mom was very open so I just told her "hey I got that thing we talked about!!" Lol she didn't realize how heavy it would be so at first she only bought me panty liners and my older cousin was like Wtf why are u changing your pad so much?? Lol I used to carry them around in my purple teddy bear backpack
