PERIODS — We are Girls in Sport blog

New Campaign - Play On!

Today is the International Day of the Girl and We are Girls in Sport wanted to support one of its main objectives this year:

‘Increasing resources for and investments in adolescent girls, including for the networks and organisations that support quality and inclusive education and prioritise their well-being.’

We want to increase resources for sporty girls and with this in mind, we’re super excited at We are Girls in Sport HQ as we launch PLAY ON, the campaign to make sure that sports clubs & venues provide free period wear. Yes! Free period wear! Wouldn’t that be great?!

Iceni period pants - be a warrior not a worrier

As mums that were passionate to help their very sporty daughters, we set out to make not only our daughters, but all those that have periods, lives easier. We believe that nobody should have to suffer the insecurities or embarrassments that period ‘accidents’ can cause. Research has shown that many girls stop participating in sport due to periods. We wanted our knickers to enable them to continue with sport and activity into womanhood, knowing that they will be completely secure and comfortable - enabling them to be a warrior not a worrier.

Announcing January as Wellness Month!

Do you ever feel as though you’re not sure what’s going on with your tween or teen girl? Has your daughter suddenly lost interest in exercise and you’re not sure why? Maybe she wants to participate more which is unusual.

Are you a teenager who wants to understand more about what’s going on with your body and mind?

We are Girls in Sport is here to help!
