De-stigmatizing Menses: Ending the Cycle of Shame

Yes. We are going there. It’s time to talk about it. And all the reasons we don’t talk about it.

Menstruation. Menses. Period. Moontime. Aunt Flow. The Rag.

These terms and many more describe a monthly event that every woman experiences for the majority of her life. Yet we’re not allowed to express it, why?

Menstruation is often a painful and intense time for many women which can even affect their daily lives, but still remains stigmatized. We are shamed into silence; into going to work, school and carry on with daily life like there’s nothing MONUMENTAL happening to our bodies.

Well, we say NO MORE MENSES STIGMA.

So, we’re going to explore these stigmas all month while GIVING AWAY FREE HYGIENE PRODUCTS for everyone that bleeds and attends the upcoming Destigmatizing Menses event and/or gets involved in this critical conversation.

Join us and get your FREE personal hygiene kit shipped to you! There are so many ways to do so:

1. Like and Share our post on Instagram.

2. Attend the event Nov. 10th at Noon on Zoom. We have a special giveaway for attendees! Announcement coming soon.

3.Tag your friends in the comments and have them follow us.

4. Comment on this post about all things menses! How do you feel during? What barriers do you face while menstruating? What products do you like to use and why? Why do the products cost so much? Why do you think that there’s so much stigma around our periods?
