Which Fanzy Pantz kit covers what, and how NDIS funds it
For mums prepping their daughters. Five kits, one funding path, no jargon.
If you've got a daughter on an NDIS plan and you've started wondering whether period products can be funded, the short answer is yes (when they're part of her continence or personal-care needs). The longer answer depends on which kit suits her and how your plan is managed. We've laid it all out below, plain English.
If you'd rather skip to the ordering bit, the NDIS page is here.

Why mums keep coming back to these kits
Tampons aren't right for every daughter. Insertion anxiety is real, especially for tweens and for girls with sensory sensitivities. Pads slip. Pull-ups feel like a step backwards. Our kits were built around what actually goes wrong on a real period day, not around what looks good on a packaging shot. If you're still weighing the options, here's an honest look at tampons vs period undies for tweens.
- Full gussets, edge to edge. Engineered to absorb properly across the whole crotch panel. No leaks at school, on the netball court, or overnight.
- Intimate wipes for the accident days. Tucked into every kit. So if she gets caught out at school or sport, she has a way to feel clean again in 30 seconds (without having to phone home).
- Laundry bag for discreet washing. She manages it herself. You don't have to.
- Heat patches built in. Air-activated, fit under leggings, no plugging in or filling up a hot water bottle at lunch break.
- Soft, tag-light, seamless on the inside. Many of our NDIS families choose us specifically for this reason. Period products that don't add to the sensory load of a hard week.
- Sizes 6 to 6XL. They grow with her. No more re-buying every six months.

The five kits, and who each one is for
Not every cycle looks the same. The kit that helps a tween manage her first period isn't the one that helps a teen get through camp. We've built each of our five kits around a different bit of real life.
1. Tween Starter Kit. $50. For ages 8 to 12.
The gentlest entry into period prep. For mums whose daughters haven't started yet but might soon. Sleepovers, school camps, the "what if" moment. Sized for younger bodies, with everything she needs in one discreet pouch.
Best when: she hasn't had her first period yet, or it's just started and she needs the basics close at hand.
Shop the Tween Starter Kit. To set her up for a full period week, you can add the Tween Period Underwear 5-Pack ($99).
2. Ultimate First Period Kit. $85. For tweens 10 to 14.
The "I've thought of everything" kit. Two pairs of leakproof undies. 10 heat patches. 30 intimate wipes. A laundry bag. The waterproof pouch that fits in any school bag. Built for that first period, the one she might not see coming.
Best when: she's nearing or has just started menstruating and you want one box that covers school, sleepovers and surprises.

3. Sleepover & Camp Kit. $65. For all ages.
Discreet pouch, leakproof undies, wipes. Packed and ready to grab. For school camps, respite stays, weekend nights at a friend's, anywhere she's away from home and might need to manage on her own. For a full pack list, here's how to pack her kit for camp, school or a sleepover.
Best when: she's already managing periods but needs an away-from-home version that's easy to throw in a backpack.
4. Period Pain Relief Kit. $60. For teens 13+.
For daughters whose periods come with real pain. Not "ugh, cramps," but full sensory overload, doubled-over, can't-go-to-school pain. Heat patches that air-activate, leakproof undies, and the pain-day essentials we'd want for our own.
Best when: her cycles are established and pain is the main thing you're trying to solve.

5. Heavy Flow Kit. $55. For teens 13+.
Extra-coverage undies and back-up wipes for cycles that are heavier, longer, or hard to predict. Particularly useful for teens whose flow has been heavy from the start.
Best when: her cycles are established and the issue is coverage and confidence rather than pain.
So how does NDIS funding actually work for these?
Period products can be funded through your daughter's core supports or consumables budget when they're part of her continence or personal-care needs. That budget needs to be on her plan. It isn't added automatically, so if it's not there, raise it at your next plan review with your Local Area Coordinator.
Plan-managed? We invoice your plan manager.
Email support@fanzypantz.com.au with your NDIS number and your plan manager's contact details. We send the invoice straight to them, usually inside 48 hours. They pay us. We ship to you. You don't pay anything upfront.
Self-managed? Buy, claim, done.
Order from our site as normal. Keep the invoice we email you. Submit it through your usual NDIS claim process. Your plan manager or the NDIS portal handles the rest.
Agency-managed? Talk to your support coordinator.
Agency-managed plans use NDIS-registered providers. We're not registered yet (it's on our 2027 roadmap), but we work with partners who are. Email us and we'll point you to a registered reseller who stocks our kits.
One more thing. Don't lose what's left.
NDIS plans usually run for 12 months, with a fresh budget when the plan renews. Money you don't use mostly doesn't carry over. It goes back into the system.
If you're near the end of her current plan and there's still money in her budget, period kits are a sensible, dignity-first way to use what's left. Not pushy, just honest. A lot of mums don't realise this until it's too late.
How to actually get started
The easiest way is to head straight to the NDIS page, find your plan management type, and follow the three-step flow. If you'd rather talk it through, hit reply to any of our emails or drop us a line at support@fanzypantz.com.au. Amanda answers. Mum to mum, no pitch.
For support coordinators, OTs and plan managers, there's a dedicated partners page with a supplier sheet, a 10% first-order trade discount, and the practical bits for your team.
If you've made it this far, you've already done the hard part. Figuring out that this exists. The next bit, we've made easy.
