Bloody Good Period, set up by fellow Mancunian and all round good egg Gabby Edlin, specifically targets female asylum seekers. Gabby founded the mission after she volunteered at a drop-in centre for asylum seekers and refugees in north London and realised sanitary products were classed as ‘emergency items’ – meaning they weren’t readily available to all women visiting the organisation. Women who have escaped from the terrors of their own country deserve a decent, stress-free and clean period. It’s the least we can do while providing them sanctuary. - linaje citiralaпре 3 годинеLet’s be clear. None of the women I spoke to about the end of their periods missed the blood – even the most passionate bleeders. For that sentiment, I have to turn to the words of someone described lovingly by her fans as ‘the poet laureate of periods’: Sharon Olds. The American writer and academic, now in her mid-seventies has written extensively about periods and the female experience in most of its forms. In ‘When it Comes’, Sharon sums up an awe and majesty about periods I haven’t seen as exquisitely put anywhere else. If you have the chance, I recommend reading.

The author of The Period Repair Manual, Lara believes your menstrual cycle is a ‘monthly report card for good health’. For her, a monthly bleed is not the important part of having a period. The period is a side-show; the tax women pay for having a natural cycle. For Lara, it’s all about having a natural ovulation cycle so women can make hormones – namely natural progesterone and oestrogen – which she calls ‘deposits into the bank of long-term health’, bringing benefits for bone density and one’s immune system. She says, ‘For most women with no menstrual conditions or illnesses, periods should be a small event we can manage.’
