There is a lot of misconception about periods, which makes them often seen as shameful. They are not. They are a normal and healthy part of many people’s lives.

Let’s start talking about menstruation with these five common misconceptions:

  1. Period is not a synonym for the menstrual cycle, but a distinct phase of it.
  2. Not only women have their periods.
  3. Menstruating people can still get pregnant while on their period.
  4. PMS exists even if we don’t fully understand it.
  5. Period blood is not dirty and the smell of it is normal.
