Yes, we bleed and there is nothing about to shame

Breaking the menstrual taboo

Periods are normal and everyone should be empowered to speak about them. Yes, period cramps are painful, periods timings are inconvenient, periods flow can be messy but it should never be shameful because we bleed that’s why you exist.

When I was young, I’ve always heard about the society telling girls to be discreet and also secretive about periods. They can’t go to the temples because its unhygeinic. So just be educated and remove this taboo. As in 2018, a movie name padman released where he discovered pads which are very helpful for us but showed that both men and women were ashamed of periods its a shame, an embarrassment. But how can it be a shame when it is a part of our body and in the same period it is the first indicator of femininity.

How we, even as women, can feel embarrassed about something which is part of our life’s, part of our body? Agreed that, it irks us, whenever we have periods, agreed that experience of periods is not very joyful. We have cramps, nausea etc, but disregarding periods, how is it justified in a women’s part.

Instead of talking and educating about it openly, why does our society keeps on turning a blind eye on the plight that many girls have go through?

Instead of telling them to not enter the kitchen or not to visit holy places, not to worship God, why don’t we educate them more about the precautions and the cautiousness one has to take during periods? So try to educate them give them the advice how to be cautious and also to men how to respect periods.

Covering it with black polybags

Why to cover when men don’t feel ashamed to rape a girl so why to feel soo embarrassed while buying it. Don’t be ashamed of purchasing and be cautious and take some precautions and educate that don’t use clothes just use sanitary pads. While buying pads the shopkeeper whispers to bring that product why?? Why to whisper like we have asked for a poison….if you don’t respect periods then atleast don’t make a fun of it.

My request is to take periods as a serious discussion not to have a fun or to judge and stop shameful for this. We bleed and we are proud of it.
