Periods - Blog Posts
Heated blankets are a miracle if you're on your period and all sore for no reason
I just saw an ad for “reusable period underwear”
What the fuck do you mean by that are you not reusing the underwear you use when you are on your period because I just checked in with my biologically female friends and they all agree that that is not in fact what happens
They need to have a human body update that makes ovulation and the menstrual cycle optional. I'm not gonna be using it, I don't want children, so what's even the point anymore?
If I had to relive my first few periods I think I'd throw myself out of a window and just end it then.
That shit hurt
TW: afab anatomy/periods, fear and non agere
I'm so so scared right now my period skipped a week and when I think I have it it's dark and I don't know it's just freaking me out but I don't want to go to a doctor about it cuz I'm scared and I don't know what to do right now im bawling my eyes out bc im scared... I just want to be tiny and curl up into a ball and have the fear melt away... No I don't know if I have any underlying health conditions and I don't mess around I'm only ever with my partner so I can't be pregnant that's not my worry I just don't know what's going on right now and I'm afraid...
Nobody:
Soldiers and girls on period:
I woke up and there was blood everywhere..
(I don’t own this picture btw) DUDE IM ON MY PERIODS AGAIN TWO TIMES THIS MONTH WHATS GOING ON
Imma be real as a mentally ill woman one of the hardest things is that being on my period makes it extremely hard for me to stay emotionally regulated and yet men will use that as a reason to further discredit me and every other woman
Something I think about a lot is how women, myself included, have been afraid of being pregnant even when we haven't had any sexual contact with a man. To me that says something but I'm not entirely sure what
Just a short platonic Pallura comfort fic.
drinks blood of periods
would you ask a person buying like, a laxative if they were feeling ok?
they’re 50/50 not feeling ok, you’re being compassionate, but they’re buying a health care item for something very private that they more than likely don’t want to talk about.
most people don’t want to talk about what’s happening inside their pants with strangers.
I've been thinking about it, and I'm pretty sure I disagree. It's not offensive or rude to say "Feeling okay?" To someone who 50/50 could not be feeling okay. And I don't think I should feel bad for being compassionate and I've always had people say thank you for asking. But I appreciate your input and I'm thankful for your opinion. 🐳🐙🍍
Ok if you want to ask a woman every time you see her buying personal hygiene products if she’s ok then go ahead, I don’t care. If you disagree, fine, I also don’t care. But you’re not a woman so I don’t see why you think you’re allowed to have an opinion on how this makes WOMEN feel. If you keep doing this you might get some thank you’s but eventually you’re going to across a woman who will tell you off or slap you for asking such a personal and invasive question. Honestly I don’t care if you’re coming from a good place if any man ever commented on me buying something for my period I’d tell him to fuck off. It doesn’t matter if you’re compassionate, it’s not your business to ask if someone is okay because they’re on their period out buying tampons or pads. It’s a fuckinggggg invasion of privacy regardless of where you’re coming from in intentions. I don’t see where you ever got the idea that you think it’s ok to ask a woman how she feels every time you see her buying personal products??? Literally no man I know would ever do this. If anything we just want to be left alone. I’m done talking about this with you and if you can’t understand why it’s not ok then go ahead and keep doing it but just wait until it pisses a woman off then good luck to you. And yes more than just myself finds it offensive, I talked to a girlfriend about this last night and her response was “what the fuck, don’t comment on my fucking purchases.” There ya have it.
Just a PSA
Pre-menstrual depression is always depicted as like "He He! I had a box of icecream bars and cried while watching the Titanic!" But in reality, it's more like, "I'm standing the edge of an abyss. There is nothing good inside of me, I'm filled with rage and desperation."
It's crazy that being told how to deal with that is never a part of anyone's menstrual sex education.
period cramps are NOT FOR THE FUCKING WEAK OH MY GOD
Just complaining about Periods
i haven't even started mine for the month yet but I will soon(it always comes a bit early)ANYWAYS even though it hasn't came yet i'm feeling terrible cramps which is new to me
why are cramps new to me even though I've had my period for 5-6 years?
well I have extremely light periods every month ,or at least I used to ,they used to be light without any pain at all but now they're getting pretty heavy and painful and I don't know why I also used to not have cravings or mood swings on my period but now I do (thankfully we're restocking our food tomorrow so I can get what i'll want)
Periods? A Bloody Waste of Time 🩸
I'm entirely convinced at this point that anything that they tell us (women) is normal is actually bad for us. While pregnancy from male insemination can be avoided, periods are a different matter. I am certain that they are not meant to be painful at all, nor are we meant to bleed so heavily. If a period is (as some claim) truly the removal of toxins and other fluids, are we not going to analyze what the heck is intoxicating us to begin with?
I saw this documentary a while ago called "Red Moon: Menstruation, Culture, and the Politics of Gender" were several women were discussing the stigmatization of periods. I don't remember which part it was exactly, but they were mentioning how painful periods were an energy thing. For some women, especially those who have suffered from abuse in their past, something may energetically be going on with each monthly release. I think it even goes beyond that.
This world's version of normal seems to be in praise of degeneracy at every corner of life. Pregnancy is normal, yet many women die from it or leave with life long scars (physically and emotionally). Intercourse (which seems to skirt itself alongside pure violence) is normal, yet many women leave with disease or some form of mental disorder. Periods are normal, but many women suffer monthly from it to the point where they can become immobile for a day or two. It seems that just as man has intoxicated nature, he has intoxicated the women as well. Expertly so. Now women have convinced themselves and others that pain and suffering is normal. I found this document online discussing some doctors who observed the difference between the western women and who they called "primitive" women. The western women were described as having highly acidic bodies, whilst the other group of women had alkaline bodies.
During the study, the women who consumed more animal products were more susceptible to bleeding heavier and for a longer period during their menstrual. With the alkaline women who consumed more plant based foods, the menstruation almost ceased to exist.
Modern doctors will claim that the absence of a period is signs of a terrible condition. They'll even suggest that an eating disorder it at play. It's interesting they'll say that losing your periods is unnatural, but popping a pill full of foreign chemicals to "regulate" it is totally not cause for future concerns. Speaking of eating disorders—from a western perspective—arguably many people already have eating disorders. We eat until our bellies our stretched beyond normal, and we consume foods that are lifeless and will end up rotting in our stomachs. I do believe that an aspect of periods is normal, given their spiritual nature. In ancient times, they hinted at a connection between the cycles of the moon. This was when women could be most in tune with their bodies and souls, perhaps harnessing spirtual powers that may have been dulled any other time. Now, women are lying in bed curdling in pain during that time of the month. Not much can be done productively. Of course, not all women have this problem, but plenty do.
This is just some speculation though. For me personally, omitting meat and other animal products from my diet has changed the way I think. I'm only four months in though, and my decision to do this was spontaneous and came about due to some health concerns for mine. I have had asthma and eczema for most of my life. These are two inflammatory conditions that have left me breathless and peeling off my own skin to a gross degree. Since reducing my consumption of eggs and milk and taking out meat completely, I've been breathing better and I've had little to no rashes. As a shift to something completely plant based, I'm curious as to how it will further effect me physically alongside my future menstrual cycles as well. Again, this is just the case for myself and could effect others differently. I just know that society doesn't care for case by case conditions and wants EVERYBODY to do the exact same thing healthwise, regardless of how it effect them personally. They've been choosing death for us for centuries. Now, when some of us choose life, they want to call it dangerous pseudoscience. Spare me. Women need to get to know their own bodies on a personal level. Many modern doctors aren't healers. They're band-aid solutions. This includes female doctors, since they are getting paid too. We need to be in charge of our own health and start educating ourselves.
Periods were once considered the first curse on women. Perhaps they still are. They certainly aren't desired. This isn't to take the Christian perspective of "woman bad", but there are hidden truths within these ancient books that must be analyzed. In the case of Eve, she suffered two curses from God in Genesis 3:16:
"I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children."
And
"Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
There's no explicit mention of periods here, but pregnancy and periods go hand in hand on the pain spectrum it seems. The second quote is also intriguing. This desire for her husband is linked to pain as well as "inequality". I believe that her desire for Adam makes them far more equal than we realize. She suffers with him in his degeneracy now, although on a different level. It's also notable that her suffering is more severe and constant. Would she have this pain if she loved "God" more than Adam? Or if she loved herself more than Adam?
There are so many questions, many left unanswered. Regardless, there can be a more optimistic lens to this. Like many curses, perhaps this one can be broken.
Baymax in the new Baymax! show buying pads for a girl who got her first period and getting help from people, including a trans man.
Some people are really mad about this, when he is literally a health care robot interested in people's physical and emotional needs.
Palestinian girls and women are forced to use tents as pads. People boost. Donate if you can

My BestFriend
is going through a dramatic cramping phase . but i'm the one on my period and i don't care about his problems :(
Being horny during periods is a f^cking torture 😵💫
This post is for people who don't bleed on their period, but have the cramps and mood swings. This post is for people who don't have periods at all. This post is for people who only have periods once every year or few months.
You never HAVE to have a period for any kind of identity, whether that's being intersex presenting female, a trans woman, femspec, or even just a cis woman. You should never feel out of place because you don't have a cycle. It's not weird to not have one, it's not weird to have a bloodless one, and it's not weird to have one that fluctuates.
You're still valid.
"if i bleed you'll be the last to know" no. i bleed and immediately start to complain about it for the entire week.
One of the most embarrassing moments for a woman, is when she unexpectedly gets her period. No pads or tampons to help save her. So sitting in the bathroom of the pub you and the task force were celebrating at was anything but ideal. You were at the bar ordering a drink when the slippery feeling began to grow between your legs. You knew it wasn’t arousal (even though Simon sat beside you the whole time) but it was also too early to get your period.
the way your eyes widened as you felt it drip down your leg and spread across your thighs brought nothing but embarrassment to your face, seeing a small drop of blood drip onto the floor beneath your skirt. Quickly running off to the bathroom, you locked yourself in a stall and let out small choked sobs. Many would say it’s natural, and you know it. But that doesn’t stop anyone from feeling embarrassed about what happened. You pulled out your phone and sent some quick texts to the first person in your contacts - ”Si Pie🫶🥧 ”
-“Ask a waitress for a pad” 16:09
-“please quickly” 16:10
sitting and waiting might have been worse than seeing the bloody mess on your thighs and down your legs. But when you heard the bathroom door open and then close, you expected a woman to slip you a pad that Simon gave her under the door, but instead there were Salomon hiking boots and a deep voice.
“open up, love.” The low voice brought comfort, stuffing your panties with tissue quickly and the pulling your skirt down to open the door.
the moment you saw his eyes soften at you under the balaclava, you broke out into tears once again. He gently pulled you into his arms and rubbed your sides to soothe you. “No need to feel embarrassed, a’righ? Just clean yerself up ‘nd we’ll go back out together.”
listening to him, you went back into the stall, cleaned yourself up to the best of your abilities and then walked out to see Simon leaning against a wall. He motioned for you to walk ahead, gently placing a hand on your lower back to massage away some cramps. Once back at the booth, there was a glass of water in your spot. Everyone continued to chatter, as did you, feeing yourself ease up as Simon linked his arm around you and rubbed your lower tummy.
what a good soldier he was.
Not me having such bad cramps that I wish myself dead right then and there haha lol
God being AFAB sucks ass.
Scientists like to say the body communicates in ways we’re only beginning to understand. And to that I say (insert explicative of your choice). Maybe that’s true for men, but it’s not true for women-or at least this woman.
Once a month my reproductive organs get mad at me for not being used to their fullest potential. They squeeze my insides until I feel like I’ve been punched by a buffalo, and then send a river of strawberry jam out of a very awkward place to have a stain.
And they do that because they’re not communicating with my brain and whatever organ holds the soul-probably one of those weird ones like the pancreas that we don’t really know what it does.
And if the reproductive organs would just talk to the brain and spleen, then they would know that we’re not anywhere close to having a baby. So stop wasting valuable blood that the brain could be using to write the next great literary hit! We could have had a movie and then a Netflix series remake by now if you had stopped forcing us to lose on average 84 days of the year and several hundred dollars worth of pads and pills and chocolate!
And with all that film money we could have been financially stable enough and relaxed enough to make several babies. But no, reproductive organs, you have to be focused on the short term. You think we’re going to somehow get pregnant at any moment and you need to be prepared. But how is that going to happen when you also give us PMS in addition to the week long shark fest?
Basically, reproductive organs, the only one you should be blaming for your abilities being wasted is you. Don’t take it out on me.
