If I’ve learned nothing else in life, it’s to always have one of my (many) period pouches packed and ready at all times.
Whether I’m traveling the world or sticking close to home, if Aunt Flo decides to tag along, I’m prepared.
My very first period kit was actually a pencil box. I stuffed two jumbo pads in it and instead of taking it out when I had to go to the bathroom, I’d take my entire backpack. I didn’t want anyone wondering why I was taking my pencil box into the toilet!
Now that talking about period health is more mainstream, there are lots of options for toting our period supplies.
What is a period pouch?
A period pouch is typically a small, discreet bag that is filled with all of your period essentials.
My period pouch has a couple of pads, my menstrual cup (when my cycle isn’t on), and period pain medication.
You can also carry panty liners, tampons, or extra underwear.
The pouch is what you hold your period kit in.
Unlike when I was in getting my period in school, period pouches are stylish now. And there are options.
It easy for us to choose one that matches our individual style, and I love that for us.
What to consider when purchasing period pouches
How do you choose the best period pouch for you?
Here are a few things to think about when you’re making your choice:
- Sized correctly for your lifestyle
- Made of durable, waterproof material
- Zipper or buttons are sturdy
- Styled to your personality

The outside of this bag is soft, waterproof material and it has a plastic liner inside. And of course the mermaid design is perfection.
Have you ever seen a cuter pouch? This brand has well-made period pouches with dozens of designs. They often have a coupon on this bag, too, so it's even more affordable.
Not only are these bags functional, they're stylish and come in a set of four. They're just big enough to carry a couple of pads, and you can toss it in a bigger bag.
This little bag is absolutely adorable. The material is PU leather, the bag is waterproof, and it has a durable double zipper. I am loving the retro vibe!
If you want to be the most discreet on your period, this pouch is for you. It's waterproof but looks like a tiny purse.
