Speaking of Our Health: Menstruation Products
Menstruation: “The normal monthly shedding of blood and tissue from the lining of the uterus when pregnancy does not occur. During menstruation, menstrual blood and tissue flow from the uterus through the cervix and pass out of the body through the vagina.” (National Cancer Institute)
Anyone who menstruates will tell you that managing a period takes effort and money. Aside from dealing with discomforts such as cramps, headaches, cravings/aversions, and mood swings, people who menstruate must also invest time (and money) to find which period products work best for them.
