greenyourperiod:

I’ve been menstruating for about 10 years now. Before I started, we had “the talk” in 5th grade about our periods, when they would separate the girls into one classroom and the boys would stay behind. In that talk, all our options were disposable pads and tampons. No wonder I never considered any…

 I’m glad you wrote this so well. A lot of girls don’t realize the stuff they’re putting inside themselves is horrible. All girls should at least try it.
