Menstruation Matters To Everyone

Menstruation is something a women always wish to know everything about. However, it has always been surrounded by taboos and myths that effects her life from many aspects. Even women aren’t supposed to talk about it in the open. Since this year's theme MENSTRUATION MATTERS TO EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE draws attention on different aspects of life in which we could be more present and open to the topic of menstruation. What is most important to me to not forget, is that menstruation is a human rights issue in many ways.

My tips to bring menstrual awareness into your life:

1. Take some time during your moon-time to observe your blood, how do you feel when you do that? and why does it make you feel comfortable or maybe uncomfortable?

2. Stop hiding your period instead: inform people who are close to you that you are bleeding. i started wearing a thin red bracelet as a little reminder for my surroundings i am slowing down

3. Talk about it when something is uncomfortable during your period.
We tend to think periods should be painful and annoying. this is not the case -- when it does happen, it is usually your body telling you something might be off. take this seriously.

4. Ask yourself whether you are aware of how much money and waste you spend to manage your period. How does this make you feel? If it makes you feel uncomfortable, can you change this? pssst: menstrual cups are HUGE money savers.

If any abnormal changes you are feeling in your periods, like irregular cycle, scanty periods, heavy flow with clots, excessive cramps, contact your gynecologist.
