"We never see it. "It’s replaced by blue goo in commercials and ads, and we’re not out here comparing and contrasting our flow with other people with periods. It’s all behind closed doors. It’s the unknown."
"I hope people remember we’re all having the same experience, whether we talk about it or not. Whether it be periods, sex, body issues — we’re all going through it. It’s a great disservice to not talk about it with each other, and I want to change that."Preach it. For the month of February, Her will be #OnTheRag. We'll be chatting all things periods, products, and pain as we delve deep inside the uterus to figure out why we bleed and - more importantly - how we cope. We'll also be talking to the experts about some of the period related conditions you have heard of - and all of the ones that you haven't. You can follow the rest of the #OnTheRag series here or follow our Instagram account for more period related content. Want to get in touch? Email us at jade@her.ie.
