People (myself included) always love to talk about ’free bleeding’. I think that we live in a tampon/menstrual cup obsessed society that has alienated us so much from wearing a pad that we now think of ‘free bleeding’ as our only alternative. You can just wear a pad. All the fun of free bleeding minus the mess. Hope this helps 💋
after having an ovarian cyst for a while and finding out 4 months later that THATS why I was feeling deranged and horrible all the time I can’t get this thought (truth) out of my head — hormones are kind of everything! period cycles interest me so much now in a way they didn’t before bc I can clearly see the effects of them on our psyches/energy. for example I can always tell when a friend of mine is ovulating or PMSing. now I’m 24/7 yapping about menstruation/women’s health to all my friends.. or anyone who will listen really. mind-body connection fr fr
OUT: thinking that asking about periods is rude; men Tiptoeing around the subject of periods; discounting what hormones do to our bodies and minds !!!!
