From the founder of HelloFlo, a modern and insightful guide to periods and puberty for a new generation

When will I get boobs? Does wearing a tampon hurt? What's the deal with menstrual cups? Seriously, when will I get boobs?

Honest, funny, and unafraid of the messy, real-life facts about a girl's changing body, this is definitely not your mother's puberty book. HelloFlo founder Naama Bloom's mission is to create informed, empowered young women who are unafraid to ask questions and make the best choices for themselves and their bodies. A celebration of women's bodies and all the confusing, uncomfortable, silly, transformative, and powerful changes that occur during puberty.

Informative and Straightforward

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 20, 2021

Verified Purchase

Informative and covers a variety of topics: breast development, hormones that affect the physical and emotional, hair removal methods, menstrual products (disposable and reusable), menstrual cycles, the importance of speaking with someone you trust when feeling overwhelmed and body positivity. The book places emphasis on the fact that each body is different and therefore everybody will choose to do things differently and that's okay.

I bought this for a ten year old and after reading it myself, I appreciate the wide range of topics, the honesty and humour. However, I feel the need to rip out the introduction because it is written in a way that will likely scare the ten year old I am gifting it to. I appreciate the honesty but they could have chosen different words to describe heavy menstrual cycles and vaginal discharge. See the description before purchasing.

I think it is a good book to read after covering basic anatomy because it does not really cover basic anatomy.

Overall, I like it. I would suggest reading it before giving it to a young woman. As the book suggests, everybody is different.

Very pleased with this book. Easy for my daughter and I to go through together, interesting enough to keep her reading solo. It's written in an open honest way that I appreciate for my kid.

Perfect book for girls age 9-13. Written in easy to understand terms and language. Love the history tidbits and mentions cultural differences, encourages girls to be mindful that not all cultures do similar things during puberty.

Great book

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this for my daughter as she was already being taught a certain amount of this in school and I felt it was a good time to give her a book she could reference and ask questions about as she goes through puberty.

First off, the book comes with dozens and dozens of illustrations, which are great for visual aids. Particularly instructive are pictures of breast, vaginas and other parts of the body girls may not ever see or understand well.

The book also discusses the evolution of body image, hygiene and the differences of culture and fashion and how that impacts women over time. It also talks about hormones and how they affect girls during their growth, as well as feelings that may occur as a result of hormones and growing up. There are pages of experts in medicine and psychology who weigh in and speak to certain issues, and personal accounts throughout the book to normalize the feelings and questions girls might have.

Overall, a really good book for girls and a great supplement for parents raising and educating a confident, informed young lady.

A bit too grownup for my 11 year old

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

I returned this book as I thought the content was a bit too grownup for my 11 year old. It talks about pornography and of periods says "there will be blood, a lot of it. Think: horror movie". As an adult I appreciate this is a joke but if you've yet to start your period it's probably the last thing you need to be told! Probably better suited to an American audience, for me the content felt a bit too sassy for a naive pre-teen. Lovely illustration and design though.

Wish I had this when I was a girl! Great for tweens & beyond!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

I thought it was great! Perfect for my rapidly developing 10yr old daughter . Yes it’s frank, but I’d rather have honesty and an informed child, than hide behind euphemisms, cabbage patches & pretend that certain things (like blood & pornography) don’t exist. Yes it covered topics that some may think unsuitable for a tween, but I promise you - your kid already knows what porn is & if they haven’t seen it yet they soon will. Far better they get an informed view of the topic & told what real life is like in comparison than try to navigate that mine field alone. This book tackles these subjects with good-humoured honesty at a level tweens & teens should be able to understand. Most importantly it does so with a strong focus on consent, body positivity and the difference between social expectations and actual obligations. Vital for our future generations of feminists!

I love the historical context many topics are set in e.g. body hair & shaving trends through history go along side descriptions of different hair removal methods and the firm message that if, when & how you decide to remove any hair is YOUR CHOICE.

Yes, read it through first - you want to be ready to answer follow-up questions, but rest easy - there is nothing unsavoury or unsuitable in this book.

Only point to consider is that it’s written for an American market, so is in US English and some info (like Doctor checkups) are not exactly how things work in other counties, like the U.K. That said it was simple enough to stick a couple of post-it-notes over those bits with the corrected info.

My daughter was really pleased with this book & was eager to share it with her friends & go out to buy a “ready kit” of period protection to keep in her school bag for when the time comes. We’ve had lots of productive conversations off the back of it, and she has remembered information from it and applied it to other circumstances, so I’m well chuffed.

INTRO COMPARES PERIODS TO HORROR MOVIES

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

I didn't get past the first page to know that this book was not for my daughter. The author dives right into the introduction talking to girls about "cottage cheese", "crusty" stuff, and "yogurty" mess in her panties among other things. On the second page it actually states "Oh, and there will be blood. A lot of it. Think: horror movie. Sometimes it may look and feel like a waterfall of blood..." I was looking for a book with that would help her feel good and not scared about what to expect but this is not it.I am sure the info in the book is probably factual but IMO this was not presented in a child friendly mannor. Full disclosure I did not read further than the intro because as stated I knew I needed to find a different book for my daughter already based on what I had already read.
