How can I be gender inclusive when speaking about menstrual cycles?

Please remember that not all women menstruate, and not all menstruators are women.

Alternative language to use:

1. Period/menstruation products (instead of feminine hygiene products)
2. when referring to people who get periods: menstruators, those with uteruses, people who menstruate, person on their period, mensturators etc.
3. Instead of ""Aunt Flow"" - call it menstruation or a period instead of a 'soft' cover-up
4. Be sure to support products and brands that are gender inclusive
