Was I looking forward to hearing @rupikaur_ speak at the #LetsFaceItPeriod campaign? Absolutely. Did I ever think I’d be able to speak with her about how much she means to me and my friends?! Wow, no. Thank you for your time, your words, your bravery in sharing your experiences, and for being an integral part of rekindling the fire that fuels my friends, my sisters, and my own self worth. 🌺💕

There should be an app where you could send out an emergency call if you need feminine hygiene products and all those who are close by and have the app would receive a notice and then you could message each other where the drop off point is

Just a few reasons you shouldn’t tell a girl that her period’s “not that bad”.

These are just the more common symptoms. (minus maybe shatter pains. That’s due to my Endometriosis, which makes the cramping harder and more widespread)

Period during summer vacation: eh who cares I mean I'm just laying here with no plans. I'll sleep or something. This sucks.

Period during school: I hate you and me and everyone and am I fucking bleeding through my pants?! Maybe who knows. Everything hurts. Do I seriously have to walk again these cloths are too tight. I hate this universe. I wanna be a slug.

#LetsFaceItPeriod Tweet Chat Recap!

On Tuesday, MissHeard hosted a tweetchat in conjunction with NFCC International and Bushtember. These organizations, along with a growing number of others, are working to de-stigmatize menstruation worldwide. Organizations like Girls Health Ed., Huru Kits, Femme International and many more work in places such as Nepal and East Africa to break taboos and to educate girls and women on sustainable menstrual products and menstrual hygiene. Some of these organizations even build toilets! Organizations like Happy Period work in the US to provide products like pads and tampons to homeless women and girls.

Why is this important? Because at any given moment, 300 million people are menstruating but only 12% of those people have access to commercial hygiene products. This means that many girls go without- and they skip school or sometimes drop out altogether. That’s just not fair! Plus, because we rarely talk openly about menstruation, the whole process can seem even MORE mysterious! To do our part to de-stigmatize menstruation, we held a tweet chat! Here are the highlights:

It seems that most people in the chat started their periods around 11 or 12 years old. - Read more from the chat at: http://missheardmagazine.com/letsfaceitperiod-tweet-chat-recap-2

Menstruation: Removing the “Ick” Factor

“Inspiring Us” Blog Series

“In all of the bags and boxes I had donated of food, clothing, and even sometimes hygiene products like toothbrushes and toothpaste, I had never thought about donating pads and/or tampons.”

Meet Diandra Kalish, Founder of UnTabooed

1. Diandra, what cause are you passionate about and why?

I am passionate about breaking the taboo surrounding menstruation! In January, 2015 I started to read articles about the struggles that many women face each month when they get their periods. These articles emphasized how hard it is for homeless women to have access to both feminine hygiene products and clean bathrooms, which are especially important during menstruation. It was something I had never thought about before. In all of the bags and boxes I had donated of food, clothing, and even sometimes hygiene products like toothbrushes and toothpaste, I had never thought about donating pads and/or tampons.

I couldn’t stop thinking about my personal period solution: a menstrual cup. This product is reusable, and one can last up to 10 years. I wondered if this could be a solution for women who don’t know if they will have access to pads and tampons each month.

I just had a thought...

Your period is kinda like the full moon. It only comes once a month, and in very rare occasions, you’ll have one at the beginning, and at the end of the month. And since when we’re on our periods, we’ll become those hungry, angry creatures with giant tummy aches… doesn’t that mean that girls are kinda like werewolves?
