Jessica Biel tells us her 6 motherhood must-haves

Jessica Biel is the epitome of a multi-talented powerhouse—an acclaimed actress, producer, entrepreneur, and most importantly, mom. From bringing iconic roles to life on the screen to running her family-friendly wellness brand KinderFarms (where she serves as co-founder), she juggles it all with remarkable poise—and an undeniable cool factor.

But even for a multi-hyphenate who seems to handle it all, the whirlwind of motherhood inevitably means leaning on trusted go-to products to help make life a little smoother. Biel has been refreshingly candid about learning on the go with her two sons, Silas, 9, and Phineas, 4, whom she shares with pop superstar husband Justin Timberlake. 

Now, Biel is adding author to her list of accomplishments, releasing “A Kids Book About Periods”, out May 14. The book, part of the empowering “A Kids Book About” series, was written by Biel and created in partnership with the non-profit PERIOD. to help normalize conversations around menstrual cycles with kids from an early age.

“People don’t talk enough about periods. I’ve always felt strongly that we need to normalize the discussion around periods and as a parent, writing this book felt like an organic way to engage kids in the conversation from early on,” Biel says. “If we grownups have the confidence to tell the truth about how our bodies work, then we’ll give the kids around us the agency and voice to talk about their own bodies with confidence, now and for the rest of their lives.”

In this exclusive for Motherly, Biel shares her top 6 mom must-haves that get her through her longest days. From the products that provide sanity-saving convenience on-the-go to the self-care tools she loves to gift to friends, Biel’s curated list is full of smart picks for new and veteran moms alike.
