IUDs. Sex during periods. Pain. Discomfort. The tampon tax and all the other costs associated with our menstruations. Kristy and Angie tackle some burning questions about the ever so enduring, unbelievably persistent, biological event we unwillingly go through - our periods. We hit up our male friends and asked them to tell us something they know about menstruation and then ask something they want to know about menstruation.
Takeaways:
We need men to do the work to normalize periods for everyonePeriods are expensive, and pads and tampons are just the tip of the icebergsSevere menstrual cramps are debilitating, physically and mentallyJust because we experience periods on a regular (or not so regular) basis, does not dilute its severity or legitimacyMentions & Resources:
