Let’s face it, it’s 2020 and feeling ashamed and awkward about our period has no place in society anymore. Gone are the days when discreet whispers at the pharmacy are followed by hushed and hurried packaging in newspaper and put into black (it’s always black) plastic. Gone are the days when young women need to feel shame about natural body cycles at home, in the workplace or at a place of religious significance.
It’s time to take back the shame, and reclaim our space in the world. It’s time to break free from all stigma and acknowledge that, after all, it’s just a pad.
It’s time to be bold.
