Never Just a Period (Video from British company "Bodyform" ) [View all]

2.5 minute video

This company sells feminine products including a line of period pants for teens, etc. The playlist has some other interesting videos about periods and such. Useful info for girls..

Before the internet we had the book "Our Bodies, Ourselves."

What do you wish you’d been told? Tell us in the comments below. 👇

How do girls STILL see blood in their pants and think they're dying?
Nobody prepares us for a life inside our bodies.
So we spend lifetimes asking questions.
How come my discharge smells like wet dog?
Why did no one tell me getting the coil would hurt so much?
Oh, so you can get your period whilst breastfeeding??
Endometri-WHAT?
We get told “it’s just a period.” But it’s never just a period.
It's so much more.

It’s time for a world that actually understands our bodies.
We’re building that world.
