Oh my God this is amazing. I now want to read all of her letters. And her grocery lists.

Perfect. There isn't enough Midol in the world to make up for condescending BS from the menstrual products industry.

Unbelievably funny… shared it with my only daughter and as a man… it’s difficult to share this particularly when I have seen the pain and discomfort my better half went through during those days…Not easy. So very funny. Keep the pen spinning 🫡

Couldn't have said it better myself. And, when I first heard that slogan "Have a happy period," my first thought was, "Bet that one was written by a MAN!"

I am laughing so much! I’m menopausal now but I remember telling (warning) my co-workers when I was getting “those” feelings and apologizing in advance for any unusual or inappropriate behavior. It really was that bad. Usually I’m easy going so the shock was real!

Periods were never fun. People ( men) think that menopause is the end of life and the world for women: NO. Yes hormones change ( hot flashes that could scorch the planet) but a lot of us are the most free, especially creative and intimately than we’ve ever been. IJS
