[@asphodelale]

Nah, it's just statistics--just like there's almost always someone at a comedy show who's having a birthday. The odds of a period-capable woman watching a period-related video during her period instead of the rest of the cycle is around 5/28. (Length of average period in days/number of days in average cycle.) Add in the tendency to notice things more when they apply to you (like noticing a car model after you buy that model of car), it just seems like that's when they pop up.

[@prettycheep]

Really took women all of human history to convince men that periods actually hurt and aren’t just made up or in their head Edit: a lot of people are comparing periods to being kicked in the balls, but as a guy I don’t think that’s fair because ball pain doesn’t hurt for 7 days a week, 12 months a year every year and I can avoid being kicked in the balls but like...you can’t avoid period cramps?

I agree about anyone dealing with being shamed for a natural part of life that is a part of the reproductive process. Ppl in the US are taught it is shameful, though. Be careful about thinking about ppl who live in other places and thinking you know their experience, wants and needs. Especially through a colonial lens. In terms of what ppl want or don't want, no one can say except them. If they are marketed to, they may fall for the okie doke like you have. In a capitalist society time is money and convenience to produce and work inside or outside the home is what is valued - instead of having time in the Red Tent. I have a band-aid on my thumb so this was a cumbersome process - hope it makes sense

[@lorrilewis2178]

Before disposable pads were marketed to women, they sewed their own cloth pads and washed and reused them. It was my grandmother who told me this - she would have been over 100 years old if she was still alive. Don't you think women in 3rd World countries have methods of sewing their own pads too?

Also it things like intense labor or heavy activity can have affect on periods, which I know for at least some can create lighter/shorter periods. When you don't eat for long periods of time or have poor nutrition could also cause a lapse, erratic periods, or have them not appear at all until the issue is fixed.

I started my period in the mid 70s. At that time. Pain was considered psychosomatic. I had what I later found out was dysmenorrhea. I was told by my aunts and the doctors that I must be stressed out and just to relax. I seriously couldn't figure out why I was having so much pain. By the way when I was 18 I started on my career path of being a natural health consultant. It is now 40 years later and I know now what was causing that pain. It was the estrogen that they were injecting into the cows, the pigs and the chickens, (to make them fatter/heavier). At that time I was eating quite a lot of meat and drinking a lot of cow milk. So, I was getting too much estrogen and not enough progesterone. Later in my life, I discovered something called Chasteberry aka Vitex... an herb that actually raises your progesterone. It helps to straighten out my periods. Later than that, I discovered that by cutting out meat and dairy all together completely eliminated the period pain and the hornone problems.

I read a testimonial of a holocaust survivor, and she said she was having her period when she was sent to the concentration Camp, and they were obligated to strip naked and form a line. She kept her underwear because she was embarassed, then a soldier came and ripped off her underwear. She was there standing naked with blood running between her legs and she was only 14 in the 40s. She Said It was the last time she got her periods while Living in the Camp. When you are starving your body just prevent you of loosing even more nutrients and cut off your period. This story makes me so sad, It takes out even your dignity.

@The Rodri show Sho good luck. Welcome to "womanhood"

[@lemonflavoredwhore]

@The Rodri show Sho Here are some tips for using pads: The worst thing ever is to try and open a pad in a public bathroom. Also maybe carrying a pad(Tampons fit in pockets easier) through a hallway. Have a bag to carry everything around in. If someone asks what it's for, tell them it's to carry around school supplies. (I'd recommend also having actual school supplies in it.) And if you need to open a pad, there are a few different options. 1. Be shameless(as you should be) and just open the whole thing with one loud rip. 2. Have it already mostly opened, but just closed enough to not stick to things. 3. Use a cloth pad(I don't know where to get them though) 4. Wait until someone else in the bathroom flushes, pees, washes/dries their hands, or makes ANY kind of noise. As soon as someone makes a noise try to open it at the same time. If the bathroom is empty, then resort back to number one. Sorry this is so long, just wanted to share my experience.😁 Have a nice day!

It’s pretty sad to think that there’s still a luxury tax on period products.

[@asphodelale]

It's also sad that so many folks confuse a sales tax with a luxury tax. Here in Indiana, we pay the same sales tax on menstrual supplies as we do on any other regular goods. It doesn't matter if it's a drinking cup or a menstrual cup, it's still 7% (plus any county sales tax, of course).

[@kamnanyabuis1332]

I think you got it switched. Women (or some trans men) shouldn't be considered to be ovary-acting. (that sounds like overreacting to me) Instead it should be recognized as a natural thing we should no longer be ashamed of. [not that we should have before but society (I would say more of the anti-feminist men- or ignorant men) imposed that idea or perspective on us and some still do, it's something regarded with embarrassment at least by new young women] It's simply our ovaries reacting. More of uterus but you know what I mean.

I don't use a cup yet, and this tip really helps me sleep peacefully on my period: take a tissue (toilet, kitchen, or whatever more thick preferred), fold it, put it in between your butt and there you go! Now when you're sleeping on your back, the blood goes down and the tissue absorbs it. No more bloody undies and bed ffs! Although it's a bit uncomfortable, so I only use it before sleep lol
