Period Education

Let’s be honest — a lot of us grew up with some wild info about periods. Whispers in school bathrooms, awkward health classes, and culture-fueled confusion. But it’s 2025 now. It’s time we clear the air. Here are some common period myths we’ve been fed — and the real truth behind them. ❌ Myth 1: “You can’t exercise on your period”✅ Truth: Actually, moving your body can help reduce cramps, boost your mood, and ease bloating. You don’t need to run a marathon, but yoga, walking, or stretching? Go for it. ❌ Myth 2: “You’re dirty during your period”✅ Truth: This one is pure stigma. Menstruation is natural and healthy. Your body is literally cleansing itself. You are not dirty — you are powerful. ❌ Myth 3: “You shouldn’t talk about periods”✅ Truth: Nah, silence breeds shame. Periods should be discussed openly and confidently. The more we talk, the more we normalize it — and the more we support each other. ❌ Myth 4: “If you miss your period, you must be pregnant”✅ Truth: Not always. Stress, illness, weight changes, or even hormonal imbalances can affect your cycle. If it’s irregular, it’s okay to speak to a doctor — but don’t jump to conclusions. ❌ Myth 5: “Pads and tampons are the only options”✅ Truth: There are more choices now — menstrual cups, period underwear, cloth pads, etc. It’s about what makes you feel safe and comfortable. 💬 Final ThoughtsThe truth is — periods are not taboo, and they should never be treated like a secret or a curse.
