I would recommend the Song of the Lioness Quartet and really anything by Tamora Pierce. Her books are coming of age stories and she talks about periods. Like her character’s experience getting them also just daily life, like oh I have to bring pads because I’m on my “monthlies” or whelp gotta go get willow bark tea because cramps are a bitch. 10/10 series, it’s a classic fantasy but does have twists and is ripe with comments on the patriarchy and women empowerment.

My grandma had a similar experience, except it was full moon when she first got her period so she thought she was bleeding because of that. Poor soul, I wish I could have hugged her then ❤ That being said, grandma is definitely more open about periods than my mom unfortunately in my case 😅 During the first months/years of my period, my mom would just randomly snap at me to be careful about hiding it from people, and she'd also silently eavesdrop on me by the bathroom door to listen if I was opening a pad. I also had to plan the timing and do a walk of shame with the trash to the kitchen when it was empty since there was no bin in the bathroom (so the used pads could be hidden amongst other trash). It was pretty humiliating honestly.

What I learned as a man about menstruation - besides the theoretical medical/biological aspects - that first, it massively depends on the individual how bad it is (there are women, envied by their peers, who just have a red smear in their pads every four weeks and this is it, and then there are women who have pain or bleed half to death), and if your wife, girlfriend,… tells you that she feels bad or gets cranky or whatever … just support her. Be there for her. Fulfill your male biological function and support and protect. And be it from not wanting to get out of the chair, to get up and fetch a snack from the kitchen. Do that, and she might even accept you buying technical gadgets you don't need, at least some times 😉

Days 1, 4 and 5, it's just in my morning shower, and then before I go to bed. Never a drop out of place.

I'm going to turn 70 this year. I remember those nasty belts, by the time I was having my moon time kotex had been invented but not Tampax. My mother told me how lucky we girls were. She had to use real rags. Another point. During the late 60s and into the 70s I protested the war in Vietnam. I remember being in jail with 40 or 50 women for 2 months. In the second month we all had sinked up. I don't know why, but growing up my sisters and I would also be on our moon time together.

I dunno about you, but shitting and pissing are both also nature and equally as natural as periods. Doesn’t mean they can’t simultaneously be gross.

It wasn't really all that awful. I used a belt and pads for about six months until one of my girlfriends told me about tampons. I think my mother was going to have a heart attack. But mini skirts were in vogue about that time so tampons were almost a necessity. And panty hose were the best! I had a normal flow with little cramping. At 40 I started bleeding profusely and found I had a benign cyst the size of a cantaloupe. And no...I wasn't fat. It wasn't hard like that. I had to have a hysterectomy and asked to leave my ovaries so I would go into menopause naturally. Those were the best 15 years of my life!! I wonder if there is a video on menopause....don't believe everything they tell you about that! Use it or lose it! It's not fun anymore!.

And then some guys believe very firmly that women weren't oppressed. Women weren't just oppressed, they were left to die and some still are to this day. They're expected to never complain when they're bleeding and in pain. They're put away in a hole until this natural process that gives you the ability to create life is done or until you die of suffocation. That's disgusting on so many levels Today we have it much better, but some men still like to make us feel ashamed for enduring what life gives us. Women have to go through menstrual pain every month, they have to just accept the hormones and pains and discomfort it comes with and are left to feel like it's bad to let anyone know you're on your period. The fact is I've never felt comfortable showing anything related to period in front of anyone, my very close girl friends maybe, anyone else no. I hide my menstrual necessities from my father and brother, my Mom died so now I'm the only girl in the house. I never asked my father to buy tampons or anything for me because I feel embarrassed and I know he's okay with it but it's still feels like it's expected of me to not give anyone the idea that I'm on my period.

Hugs from a total stranger. Women are linked together so profoundly. Only women can heal this world now. I see you

I was very lucky. I got my first period age 12 and I already knew what it was and why it happens. My mum is a biology teacher so she's always been very open about these things with me and my sister. Since day 1 she always taught me to keep a purse with pads, painkillers and a spare pair of panties in my bag at all time, even if it's not "the time" because especially when you're younger periods can be irregular. When my classmates also started having theirs, many of them didn't know what it was and got scared. I took it upon myself to explain what it was and we even affixed a small calendar at the back of our classroom where we would track our periods marking the days in different coloured pens. They had no idea they should track them/how it works. And this was early 2000s, so not that long ago! At the time I felt "cool" that i could teach my friends something like this, but in later years I realized this was a sign that their parents didn't do their job in teaching them like they should have 😢.

My grandmother was a teacher of 10-14 year olds in the 1950's to 1980's. She made sure to tell each of her female students about a special rule she had, if they needed to go to the toilet for period related reasons, they could put their hand up with two fingers up and all their other fingers down. If they made that signal they were allowed to immediately leave with their bag, no questions asked. If anyone made a fuss about it they'd get a stern glare. She was one heck of a woman, miss you Granny!

The male doctor I saw said that it was a “girls issue” and that it should go away in a couple days. I had been having my period since I was 11 so I knew that it was wrong but he’s a doctor right!? Well MONTHS went by with me being in constant pain and after seeing 3 different doctors I finally got an X-ray and they found that my third and fourth vertebrae were FRACTURED and my spinal chord was being compress!! They had no idea how I was still functioning. It’s amazing the stigma about periods and how little people think of women during their time of the month.

Best mom moment thus far was throwing a period party for my daughter. Inviting all the women in our family and close friends who brought gifts and shared stories about what works for them. My daughter asked questions with every gift. Even I learned a lot of what others experienced, not to mention all the young girls hanging on every word. Definitely a bonding moment had for all. It blew me away how liberating it felt to ignore all taboo thoughts or stigmas regarding periods. A gift in itself really. I read the red tent in high school and knew I wanted more for my daughter than society’s expectations of keeping it hushed. Hindsight, I would have called it a Coming of Age party. Hehe.

This woman who presented this vid (did she also do all the research, writing of the script and so on) is one of the heroes of our time. It is so astonishing that the word, 'menstruation' was uttered for the first time in the 80s. Thank you Courtney Cox for having the total guts to be the one to do that. Another hero.

A couple of years ago, my daughter did her science fair project comparing the absorption rates of feminine hygiene products. In a public school in an urban area of the northeast. I got a call from the principal. The science teacher had reported my daughter's proposal as if she had decided to do a project on making meth at home. I was on the phone for some time assuring her that a) I knew about the idea 2) was ok with it 3) saw no need to change it 4) would ensure it was done "in good taste" She was afraid that some parents (this was in a middle school so basically the majority of girls were already or about to menstruate) would find the project offensive. This was in 2019 not 1419 or 1919!

This is not about periods, but a time when I was breastfeeding my baby. She was hungry and screaming, we were away from home and my other two kids were really hungry too. So we went into a fish and chip take away in Stafford (UK). We ordered fish and chips and I sat in a corner and started to feed my baby as discretely as I could. Another woman took one look and screamed " disgusting!" She turned to the man behind the counter and said "aren't you going to do anything about it?" He feigned confusion and said "about what?!" The woman was too embarrassed to say what I was doing so she just dramatically pointed at me and said "her, what she's doing!". The fish and chip man said " she's just waiting with her kids" The woman said "yes but..." And being so embarrassed wrote something down on a strip of paper and handed it to him. He stared at the slip of paper, stared hard at her and said " I can't read, sorry, but if you don't like it here, you can go". Which she did. This man was a hero and I was so grateful. It also taught me the sad lesson that it is often women who pointlessly hate on women.

Meaning I can't go to school or interact with any men, this includes any brothers or my father (my mum didn't make me do this but she tricked my relatives into believing I locked myself away so that they wouldn't make a fuss) then after the periods done, we need to shower in water filled with flowers and wear a white gown to show that we are pure now and re-enter the house and we get given gold jewlery and things we inherit as the lady of the house. We only do this for when you first get it though as a tradition of sort. Talking about periods openly is looked down upon but because I moved countries, I get to talk more about it and have more knowledge of it, so I'm grateful for that.

Not completely. There were a lot of deaths by diseases and things, having somebody nearby bleeding would have attracted all kinds of things (bugs etc) in the right environment and actually could have spread disease. It's not unprecedented to treat somebody bleeding constantly as unclean when it's not clean because, you know, there is blood constantly...

Thank you so much for making this video! It really gives us a lot of context as to why we're brought up to be ashamed of a normal and healthy function.

I remember when I was at a cadets weekend training and competition, and it was early morning and I was in the bathroom stall with many girls outside getting ready for the day. I realized I didn’t bring a pad with me to the stall and I just shouted “ANYONE GOT A PAD ???” And literally all girls started digging around and a bunch of pads were thrown over and under the stall at me. It was such a bonding moment to me idk why. They were all super sweet and so happy to help me out 😩😩

This was an awesome video. Extremely informative and flowed well (pun intended). 👏 I found learning about the different beliefs and practices relating to periods very interesting. I love that you are donating money from this video to such an important cause.❤️💗

In our school, in class 5 and 6, all the girls and boys were taken to the school auditorium and were shown a video about periods. Girls were given a kit which had pads and some papers elaborating menstruation. And boys were told to help the teachers made those kits as an appreciation for what all the girls were growing through. They were also told to write a letter to their moms/sisters to tell them how much they love them. I still remember those and I'm really glad we were taught that way.

Some bleed a lot and get pretty ill and some hardly feel it. I guess some femails still feel ashamed, and they shouldn't. It's not unclean. It's not shamefull. It's natural...praise it and live normal.

I used to feel really uncomfortable about my period too, I still do a little I suppose. Watching Buzzfeed videos about periods really helped me feel more comfortable. Periods were never really spoken of much in my younger years and certainly not openly; so to see all their videos talking so openly and about different aspects really helped me. "The Only Way To Ask For A Tampon" is one of my favourites of theirs.

I remember when my class was reading Ann frank it had talked about her getting her period and her views and excitement of the topic. But of course one of the boys started yelling how gross and disgusting it was. Well my teacher did not stand for that at all. He told the kid how he should respect women for having to go through the pains and cramps each month and yet still put up with men and how he himself being born into a family of women saw how women had to deal with periods and how hard it often was.

I got my period this year and im pretty sad... not bc I got it, but bc of my mom. It's like she lives in the last century... she just gave me a bunch of pads and told me to hide them so nobody, not even my little sister, can find them. She said it's an embarrasement to let people know i have my period. Btw im the oldest girl, so I didn't have a older sister to teach me or at least to talk to, since I can't with my mom. When my lil sister will get it, i'll try to be the oldest sister i needed. It's sad that some people still think of it as an embarrasement... lets normalize that periods ARE NORMAL

My uncle moved into our house for a period of time when I was a teen because he was getting his house remodeled; I had to share a bathroom with him. My mom INSISTED on hiding my tampons in the hall closet instead of letting me have them on the floor next to the toilet or on the shelves above the toilet. She kept telling me that she didn't want to make my uncle uncomfortable. The man was 52 years old with 2 ex wives, a sister, a mother, and several female nieces and cousins. If he's uncomfy by seeing women's menstrual products then that's a personal problem. Not only that but it makes it super annoying to sit on the toilet and do my business only to find out I have to leave the bathroom to grab something from the hall closet.... She's mostly gotten over that kind of thing but only after menopause because they're empty nesters and never have to have them in their own house 🙄

I've had my period for a couple years now, and I've also had to learn many many things on my own because my mom would always try to change the subject. Most of my knowledge came from book smarts and trading tips with my younger cousin who got her period a year after me. Some common tips that everyone should know: 1 If you use tampons change every 7 hrs or you could get toxic shock syndrome. 2 Switch to pads at night. 3 Stay away from scented pads and tampons, they can irritate skin. 4 If you think your tampon might leak, you can wear a thin pad just in case. 5 DONT flush your used products unless the box says flushable, it'll clog the toilet. 6 The first year you get your period, it helps to keep track of when they start so you can predict when the next will come. 7 It's normal for your chest to feel swollen, your body to feel heavier, and your skin to feel more prone to acne right before your period. 8 Cut back on salty foods, they make your body retain water, therefore giving you the puffy, heavier feeling. 9 Some people like to shave down there because the sticker on pads stick to hair and make it painful to remove. Since you've had your period for some time now I'm sure you know most of these, but I hope this counted as a sort of big sister talk. Don't be afraid to ask questions from other girls or teachers at your school. I hope these tips helped

I've always been curious about this topic, so thank you!
