Well lookie lookie! Look who shows up again every month…the gift that keeps giving…our period! Aunt Flow aka Month nature has returned! On the blog I have talked about several ways with coping with her, and I am here for another solution! So back in the days, women would have time off to cleanse themselves and actual seclude themselves from the world during the period (also known as Moon Time). During a womans moon time, it was literally her personal time to re-energize, tap into her creative ideas, and just be in tune with herself. Having a period wasn’t a dread – it was a joy! Imagine if all of us women had our period each month and didnt have to go to work, school, watch the kids, etc…all because we were celebrating our MOON TIME (learn more about Moon Timehere)! Yay sounds awesome right?
Well its 2015, and I don’t think any new laws or rules will be set for all mentrating women to start having person PTO for their periods. Darn it! Too much equal rights and independ womenhood going on these days…you know we can’t make our male counterparts jealous even though we still make slightly less than them and it seems fair – but I digress that rant for another day! So no Moon Time…we are still parading around like nothing is going on each month working through craps and all. But damn it I like the sound of moon time! So I have a Moon Time alternative!
Make a Pamper Your Period Jar! Yes this will give you a little feel of your own Moon Time in this time period. Sometimes you just have to pamper yourself. You may not feel like spending the extra money for a massage or mani/pedi – plus its something theraputic about doing these things on your own right?
How about a Pamper Your Period Jar?! I’ve made a You’re Going To Be Okay, Period! Box here, but this is more defined. You deserved to be pampered on your period each month and I hope creating this jar will give you a little piece of moon time. So what to put inside your Pamper your period jar?
1. Face Mask
2.Bath Sponge
3. Manicure/Pedicure Tools
4.Facial Scrub
5. Body Wash
6. Nail Polish
7. Bath Salts
8. U by Kotex® 3D Capture Core® With Xpress DRI Pads
Now all these cute dainty items fit beautifully in a large long mason jar. Yes mason jar aren’t just for cute blogger drinks and food combos. You can put your pamper period items in here too! All of these items should be travel size and fit perfectly in the jar. Put the body sponge in there first for cushion and then assemble the rest.
Pamper Your Period Jar essential items all found at CVS
The star of the Pamper Your Period kit for me is the U by Kotex® 3D Capture Core® With Xpress DRI Pads. They are so colorful and when you put them in the jar they look so pretty, no one would barely even know they are a feminine product! I also got all of my items from CVS to put in the jar.
Extra idea* You could buy another Large Mason Jar and just fill it with the U by Kotex® 3D Capture Core® With Xpress DRI Pads. Another feminine product storing idea!
Look periods are going to be around for ever (well until you get pregnant or menopause). It’s a way of life and even through the world wants you to keep going, cramps, discomfort and all – you deserve your “Moon Time”. Remind yourself these few days of Aunt Flo visiting, you can pamper yourself and relax. If anytime you need your solo moment, its these time and hopefully the Pamper Your Period Jar will be the instant monthly reminder you need to give yourself the Confidence Your Deserve during that time of the month! I’ve been using the U by Kotex® 3D Capture Core® With Xpress DRI Pads for months now, and these are what I genuinely suggest as a feminine product.

I need to do this. I’d stuff mine full of pads, tampons and chocolate. Who could want more? Really great idea. I usually try to not think about that time of the month!
This is such a fabulous idea! I love the concept of embracing your period as a creative time to reflect and re-energize. I just started mine today, and this will give me a much more positive outlook. Thanks! #client
I wish they’d still do Moon time nowadays. It is not a nice experience to have menstrual cramps and still go to work or school or mind the household. When I have my period, all I want to do is lay in bed with a warm compress over my tummy.
Having time off for your period would be amazing. I have terrible periods with tons of cramping. Lucky i work from home so i was always able to work threw it.
This is such a cute idea. I love the sense of celebration and pampering that this brings to our daughter – way better than pretending it doesn’t exist.
I have to say, that is a unique way of looking at this! I like the idea of being pampered every month. Something to look forward to and not dread. NICE.
This is a cute post. I don’t think I will put together a period jar. But I will serously consider how I can incorporate more pampering time for myself during that time fo the month.

What a wonderful idea! I would have never thought of this kind of pamper your period jar.
I love your jar idea! This would be a fabulous gift to give to a good friend! What a great way to pamper oneself!
Love your jar! This would be a great jar to have around for that monthly visit. It would also be good to give to your closest girlfriends, too.
Cute idea! Not one I have to worry about anymore though :-). It would make a nice gift for my daughter in law, though.
I no longer have a period and haven’t in years. Still, I do love to pamper myself and do it often.
Fun packaging. Idk why but I always try to do more when I have my period and just get exhausted! I should try to relax more.
I never set time aside, but I should! I am always so grumpy I think a little me time would help brighten up that time of the month
What a great idea. How very crafty. I never would have thought if doing this.
This is the cutest idea Kiwi!
That’s definitely going to be a useful kit. Some pampering is important when you’re in that stage!
I need to do this. I’d stuff mine full of pads, tampons and chocolate. Who could want more? Really great idea. I usually try to not think about that time of the month!
I LOVE the idea of a Pamper Your Period Jar! Just because it’s that time of the month doesn’t mean you can’t pamper yourself <3
This is a cool idea! I’d recommend one to my girl friends (or probably prepare one for my girl)
That would be a nice jar to dig into during your period. I’d love to pamper myself.
That is such a good idea. I always get everything ready before the time comes, so I am prepared.
This is such a fabulous idea! I love the concept of embracing your period as a creative time to reflect and re-energize. I just started mine today, and this will give me a much more positive outlook. Thanks! #client
What a great idea! I think it’s the perfect time to be pampered too. Thanks for sharing!
This is a really smart and needed idea! I would need some chocolates and a good movie in my jar 🙂
I love this! I think the only thing I would add is some chocolate. I pamper myself with chocolate. LOL
That is such a fantastic idea – I think I definitely need to look at making one of these for myself.
What a great idea! Why not bring a little fun to all woman’s “favorite” time of the month!
This is also crafty and a great idea! I never pamper myself at that time I just want it to go away! This might be a better way to look at it! LOL
I wish they’d still do Moon time nowadays. It is not a nice experience to have menstrual cramps and still go to work or school or mind the household. When I have my period, all I want to do is lay in bed with a warm compress over my tummy.
Pampering is always a good idea but at that time of the month it is almost a necessity! Thanks for sharing!
That’s an interesting idea. To answer your question, no, I don’t pamper myself during my period. I stay in bed and wait for it to be over!
Why had I not thought of this before? This is such a great idea. I should start setting away personal time to pamper myself each month.
The period jar is super cute. I personally don’t take the time to pamper myself very often. I need to start doing it.
Having time off for your period would be amazing. I have terrible periods with tons of cramping. Lucky i work from home so i was always able to work threw it.
This is a fun idea. I especially love the bath salts. I like to soak in warm baths as often as possible. Especially if I am having bad cramps.
This is such a cute idea. I love the sense of celebration and pampering that this brings to our daughter – way better than pretending it doesn’t exist.
I have to say, that is a unique way of looking at this! I like the idea of being pampered every month. Something to look forward to and not dread. NICE.
Honestly, I don’t use pads anymore since I’ve started using a menstrual cup a few months ago. However, I do love this idea!
That’s certainly a different way to store them I have always just left mine in the box they come in! LOL
I like those funky cool wrappers. Bet my teen would like them too.
This is a cute post. I don’t think I will put together a period jar. But I will serously consider how I can incorporate more pampering time for myself during that time fo the month.
I really like this idea! Esecially for my daughter!
I love the pamper Your Period Jar idea and I am gonna make one for when I get my period.
This is an awesome idea. I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard of anything like this.
