Ms. Moxie's Moon Shop — Local services in Alexandria

I took my 9-year-old daughter to Miss Moxie's for a free workshop about periods and it was amazing--handled with sensitivity and humor and just the perfect level of matter-of-fact. The girls were made comfortable and came out of their shells; they got to learn about their bodies--the what and the why--and the breadth of products available to them. They even experimented with basic products, pulling adhesive backings off pads of varying sizes and absorbencies, pouring different volumes of liquids into them.
