NEENAH, Wis., Sept. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kimberly-Clark's Kotex
brand and Dot Girl First Period Products ("Dot Girl"), a leading retailer of
first menstrual period kits for pre-teen girls, announced today a new
licensing agreement. The partnership allows the Kotex brand to offer exclusive
educational content from Dot Girl on its website, as well as connect with
young women by having its products featured in the Dot Girl's First Period
Kit. Dot Girl will benefit from being featured on the Kotex.com Special Offers
page.
"We are excited to be teaming up with the Kotex brand, as well as
including Kotex Ultra Thin Pads with Wings and Lightdays Individually Wrapped
Liners in our Kit," says Terri Goodwin, co-owner of Dot Girl. "The addition
of these products will be a significant improvement for our core customers,
mothers and daughters looking to have the first period conversation, and will
be a great way for this group to gain access to product coupons for purchase
of Kotex brand products."

mothers in a positive, practical manner. By working with Dot Girl, the Kotex
brand will be expanding its sampling and online outreach programs, key
components of its marketing initiatives, by reaching new feminine product
users through the Kits. Articles by the Dot Girl team will enhance the Kotex
brand's use of online communications channels to interact with consumers by
providing them access to educational and useful articles.
"The Kits by Dot Girl fit perfectly with a key Kotex brand promise: to
help mothers and daughters have that important first period conversation,"
says Maripaz Romero, Associate Brand Manager on the Kotex brand. "The Kits are
informative, convenient and stylish, and they are a great way to introduce a
