Let's talk periods

Disgusting? Gross? Makes you dirty? Makes you unpure? … absolutely not !!

There is nothing disgusting about periods. What does it mean? Simply that the female isn’t pregnant. When a female’s uterus’ lining sheds, that’s called a period. This process varies and can last 2 days for some, and 7 for others.

There’s no reason for why it should be considered disgusting. Going through pain and other symptoms is part of it and it varies amongst every female. So on top of that if you go to a female and tell them it’s disgusting, get ready to get yelled at because you my friend, need a little adjustment of thinking on this topic.

Not being able to wear certain clothes, feeling uncomfortable, being in constant pain… which by any means if we just mention to a male, get prepped to hear “chill, it’s prob nothing.” Ladies, if he thinks that when you’re on your period, that you’re gross or says something similar to the above statement, it’s a red flag lol. He isn’t mature yet.. but if you’re already in the relationship, make him understand that it’s something which doesn’t make you “gross.” It is a 100% natural process and there’s nothing “weird” about it.

Think of it like this: you get a cut, you bleed. When a female gets her period, they bleed just in another area. And the point of it, is to know that she ain’t pregnant, which is a huge sign of relief for some couples who aren’t aiming to have a kid !!

Let’s be more open, have a discussion with men AND women! There’s nothing to be ashamed of or feel awkward about when talking about a fully natural process.

Also!! If anyone is looking for a good tool to help track your period, symptoms and more, @clueapp has been one that I’ve been using since 2017. You can track from how heavy your flow is to what kind of exercise you’ve been doing. Highly recommend!

Last but not least, feel free to share this post !

Take care loves! ❤️
