My almost 5-year-old daughter had never seen disposable menstrual products until she was digging through my friend's bag one day. She and my 6.5 yo son are well versed on my Diva Cup and cloth pads, though, so I'm definitely going to just pick up a cup and a selection of pads in a couple of years (before menarche), so she has the option of choosing whatever she likes. I'll probably throw in a box of Natracare tampons just to cover my bases and let her know that while it's not the best from an environmental perspective, organic is still so much better for her bits than the big names.
