I’m all for removing the shame of periods but when would you ever need this? I can’t say my menstrual cycle comes up that often when I’m texting or updating my FB status.

I would totally use this in group chats to turn down plans Grin

"A survey found that almost half of women aged 18-34 believed that a period emoji would make it easier to discuss periods with friends and partners."

Wow. Millenial communication skills are at an all time high. Hmm

Seriously though, I can just see smart arse men using this in text messages to each other because their female colleague didn't smile sweetly when one of winked at her earlier.

Ha! I am on the borderline of millennial and this makes me feel like one. I'm often messaging my friends about my period!

I imagine it will be appropriated by some people.
