About HelloFlo: The Guide, Period.: The Everything
Product Description "What we love most about this book (which we'll be gifting to our tween cousins, nieces, and daughters!) is the empowering message woven throughout: that 'your body is your body,' as Bloom puts it, and you're the only one who gets to decide what to do with it." — Health.com “Full of practical advice, helpful explanations, and messages of encouragement…Period.” — Parents.com 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?

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. This full-color book—written by HelloFlo founder, Naama Bloom, and journalist Glynnis MacNicol—features bright, diverse, approachable illustrations and infographics, doctor-vetted information, and personal testimonials from real girls and women.

HelloFlo’s first two videos, “The Camp Gyno” and “First Moon Party,” have been viewed over 50 million times and show girls that while puberty can be awkward at times, it can also be fun and empowering.
