My dd found them in my bathroom and asked me what it is.

What would you say?

According to imamother you are supposed to give her a full anatomy lesson with the right terms of the private parts and explain exactly where it’s inserted and what it’s used for. Wink

It's something that mommies use.
That will usually be enough to satisfy a 5 y/o

My DD asked what the bedika clothes are. I said "it's something mommy uses". End of conversation. she was happy with the answer. I would do the same with tampons if she would ask
