Dot Girl Products got its start in 2006 with a simple and powerful mission: Set the stage for young girls to have a positive experience with their first menstrual period. The founders, Terri Goodwin and Kathy Pickus, are sisters, mothers, and business partners who had their own awkward introductions to puberty. They both felt mission-driven to make this important life transition easier and more joyful for moms and daughters everywhere.
