The new and improved Dot Girl First Period Kit still contains everything it had before that I appreciated, but now comes with a brighter, snazzier pouch, a year-long period diary, and a hook for hanging in the bathroom or in a school locker.

Kits help parents tell girls about their first periods - The Everett Herald - February 4, 2008
Kathy Pickus of Mukilteo, and her sister, Terri Goodwin of Seattle, created The Dot Girls First Period Kit as a visual aid for one of the most important sit downs of our lives: Where babies come from.
"It's kind of interesting that despite all the openness in today's society, it's still not necessarily a comfortable topic to talk about," said Kathy Pickus of Mukilteo, co-creator of a kit designed to help young girls embrace their coming of age with confidence.
