This is amazing! I started my period when I was 11-12 and I was in Mexico visiting family. Nobody had ever gave me the period talk so I was petrified when it came. I didn’t tell anyone because I was afraid that I hurt myself while wiping or that something was wrong with me. I his it for a whole week by stuffing my underwear with toilet paper, did it stop the blood from leaking? Nope. All of my underwear were stained and crusty with blood. When we came back home my grandma seen my underwear in my laundry and asked me if I got my period and I told her I didn’t know what happened. And they just laughed and made fun of me. There are so many people who do not teach their children these things and everyone should be educated on their bodies! Thank you so much for educating young girls on their bodies!

That's about all the work she ever did, since then I've learned everything on my own from trial and error 💀 I'm 20 now and she has still never told me any advice on menstrual stuff. Only that tampons = promiscuous. Which is so fucking erroneous but now i use cups anyways, she'd probably go crazy of she knew this

I showed my best friend how to use a tampon on a bus when we were in 4th grade. We were on our way to a museum and she had just started her first period. I had had my period for about 6 months at the time and I didn’t have any pads with me. All of the girls formed a circle around her so I could help her put a tampon in on the bus. We have been best friends for 15 years now. (NOT MY STORY) just thought it should be shared 😊
