When I was Younger, I Wish I Knew That…

  • At the end of the day, your underwear will always look like someone sneezed in it. It’s normal. That’s called discharge and it’s your vagina’s self-cleaning system
  • Labia’s of all sizes are normal. They are a form of protection, like the lips on your face.  If another person is excited to get in your pants, they’re not going to care what yours looks like.  If they have any negative concerns at all, dump them
  • All the uterus bearing people in your life, from friends, teachers, aunts, moms, grandparents, etc. either have or are menstruating. They know the ups, the downs and what you’re going through. It’s okay to ask questions and you shouldn’t be ashamed to do so
  • If a sex partner does not want to wear a condom/ protection and argues some weird reason for it, such as “I don’t like the way it feels.” Dump them.
  • Period diarrhea is a thing. The same thing that causes your muscles to contract to push out your uterine lining can also cause you to poop more. Fun times!
