the stigma around periods sucks honestly. it makes something completely natural sound so abnormal. BTW i know i have been a little awol but i actually LOVE reading your work <3
I love local brands! I tried the pads in Pakistan once and Ioved the material they were made from. I felt like it was so much more suitable to make me feel clean and dry in that warm weather! I love the branding and the point you made about increasing positivity about women's health and wellness.
I honestly hate the stigma that comes with being on my period. I dreaded hiding my pads in grocery stores and having to rush the shopping bag to my room growing up. I felt so dirty having to lie and say I didn’t feel good as an excuse to not pray or fast instead of just being honest. I’m hoping we can all get past acting like menstruating isn’t a natural part of life.
Fr I'm 15 and a few months ago I asked my mom why do I have to cover the pads after buying with newspaper or black plastic ( I knew the reason but I wanted to know what she'd say) she said it's because of men because men will mock us humiliate us in public for buying pads for literally having periods for human.
thank you for sharing your story! I have the same experience with my mom and it can be frustrating how the older generation still considers a natural process taboo, but I make sure to normalize menstruation is my own life😌🫶🏽

completely agree, it’s so upsetting how it’s ingrained in us to be ashamed of our bodies from a young age😔🫶🏽
