Why aren’t women’s health needs designed around, and provided for? For Aunt Flow, [founder] Claire Coder asked why we provide toilet paper and paper towels in bathrooms but not period products.

While times are absolutely changing, we still find ourselves up against a very traditional notion that periods shouldn’t be discussed in public. In order to normalize the topic of menstruation, we have to talk about it! The more people have access to quality menstrual health education and period products, the more we can work towards ending the period taboo. I’m extremely passionate about this because periods are not something to be ashamed of, and having access to high-quality period products shouldn’t be something we have to fight for. But that’s exactly why Aunt Flow exists — to change the world, one cycle at a time.

I know it’s easier said than done, but don’t let your period get in the way. Talk about it with someone you can trust. Talk about it with your friends, whoever makes you feel good about yourself and is going to offer you good advice. Know that whatever you’re feeling is normal, and every [menstruator] is dealing with it. We’re all in this together.
