It is about time that people start talking about periods and the cost to women in terms of money and time missed at work. It is taboo because men don't want to talk about it. But they certainly want women to continue to produce babies. That means having period. Sadly, most men don't want to be concerned with that. But women have found their voice and are helping each other.
What does "menstruating people" mean??? Give me a break. Only women and girls menstruate; just say it!!!
"menstruating people"?
I remember in The Netherlands, sanitary pads are so expensive so I would go to the public toilets or University toilets and pick a few sanitary pads for free.
Talking about Important topic and right away from start putting in MENSTRUATING PEOPLE. And then they ask why no one is listening.. GEE I wonder why. If some woman doesn't feel like woman, that's her choice. But it's not society's responsibility to accommodate this choice. A woman has period, a woman can if wants carry pregnancy. EU can go and do some real work finally, otherwise more people will realize that we have some foreign government there for which no one voted to make decisions that impacts our lifestyle
Boo hoo
Stop being poor
Until we educate young people, including boys about reproductive health, we’re lost in ignorance. Teaching kids that menstrual fluid is what nourishes a baby until it is born is important. Helping them to understand that the fluid must be expelled if a woman is not pregnant should be explained. That does not touch on the subject of sex. Wouldn’t want to offend the most ignorant of all which is any fundamentalist.

Chemieprodukte allgemein sind sehr teuer, es wundert mich immer wieder wie man vor allem bei Damenprodukten auf diese Preise kommt. Vielleicht sind kostengünstige (China hat große Produktionskapazitäten) wiederverwendbare, nachhaltige Menstruationsprodukte eine Lösung zum Beispiel Menstruationstasse.
Wir sollten vermeiden, aus einer Frauenrechtsmotivation heraus ein Subventionsprogramn für P&G, J&J etc. zu starten.
