Why does it matter to know this and talk about periods?

Because periods are a taboo subject, which means we do not talk about them and still too many of us suffer from unnecessary shame and embarrasment. About something that is totally natural and necessary - no-one would be here today if their mother had not had a period!

Period Stigma affects how we interact with the world, not in a good way.

Have you ever noticed yourself doing this when you have your period? 

Hiding a period product in your sleeve to go to the bathroom so no-one sees it? 

Avoiding the word period or anything to do with bleeding or period products, but calling them another name?

Not saying you are calling in sick because of your period, but making up another reason?

Making sure your period products are hidden, even in your bathroom at home? 

Change how you talk about periods & it'll make you and all your friends feel so much better

Every girl will get a period, every girl will have different periods. But sharing your experiences will help you realise you all share similar experiences and worries. It will all make you realise how much you can help each other and support each other.
