an explanation is not owed

today i learned that according to the New York Post, “Forty-two percent of women have experienced period-shaming, with one in five being made to have these feelings because of comments made by a male friend.” (x)

before switching to reusable, ive always felt scared to talk about my period. i didnt want to tell someone i get skin rashes or major discomfort because i thought its tmi but hey, its NOT! if people can openly talk about sex, we should be able to openly talk about our cycle that involuntarily occurs monthly! share your thoughts and ask questions about your cycle! i promise you it will help your monthly period better knowing that you’re not alone in this!
