Let’s stop period shaming? Menstruation is still a taboo in so many households across countries. Let’s put an end to this. Take the #reddotchallenge with @unicef and @post.for.change and speak up. Because it’s us who need make the change. 🔴 #postforchange #bethechange #period #periodshaming #menstruation #menstruationmatters https://www.instagram.com/p/CAkNnSsjYyw/?igshid=35eyle5zgyrl

Let's be honest; although periods can be a real pain in the butt, they are nothing to be ashamed of. It is natural! #periodshaming #periodlife #periodlifestyle https://www.instagram.com/p/By6PsGxFd8R/?igshid=18xrne1m86rtd

PERIODS ARE NATURAL NOT DIRTY I am not a woman but I do know that there is nothing wrong, impure or dirty in mensuration. It’s a natural bodily function and no one should be made to feel bad for going through it. Stop #periodshaming now! #Period . #bekind #periodsarenatural #ayushkejriwal #designerayushkejriwal #worldofayushkejriwal https://www.instagram.com/p/BpUGeNqH1p7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m1jy88spvgxm

So maybe stop #PeriodShaming already. PMS is 1 week, male hormonal shifts are unpredictable and constant.
