How can we better equip parents in talking to their children about menstruation?

Our Answer

What our doctors say

Parents should go into a conversation with their child about period with the intention of teaching them about the process itself, and not the stigmas and cultural misconceptions that could be surrounding periods. Our goal is not to make people feel shameful about experiencing periods, because it's a natural occurence that happens in many people's bodies, regardless of menstrual status or gender!
