My period cramps get so bad that I sometimes need to visit the ER. It’s been a few years since that happened, but I just play it safe by keeping myself in a non-stressful and comfortable environment.

Why are we so conditioned to hide our tampons up our sleeves when we go to the bathroom?

I bloat so badly on my period I have “normal jeans” and “period jeans.” It took time, but I’ve learned to love and embrace my period belly. Catch us at your local grocery store in a crop top and low-rise jeans!

A stigma that I have personal experience with and would like to break would be the idea that nonbinary trans people are not real or invalid. Gender is fluid and doesn’t exist within a strict binary.

I used to really let myself get caught up in my period mood Swings. As I have aged, i’ve learned to laugh at myself and find ways to still do the things I love, even #onmyperiod

I’ve always been very open about my period, sharing my tips and tricks, talking about my symptoms, and discussing my experiences. I wish that people were more open about it because it’s a bodily function and it’s natural. It’s normal, and it’s okay to talk about. I hope that soon we reach that point.

Every menstruator should find an outlet that gives them the space to think and process their negative period symptoms. I myself run. The movement helps with the physical symptoms, but also gives me time to think and care for my mental health which has made my period experience so much better.

The August mission is one that I have been needing since I was a pre-teen. An intentional and purposeful way to not only destigmatize periods but be able to break it down - fully and thoroughly.

I still have an aversion to getting a period but also I’m learning to not let my body and the way it works be the source of too much pain for me

There is strength in knowing what is happening to your body when you menstruate.” “I get my PHD #onmyperiod"
