Periods

I’m well past the stage of having periods (thank god), but I’m interested in how women cope now? Is it easier with cups and periods pants etc. in my time it was pads or tampons, which I never found particularly comfortable. Not being nosy, just interested. As a feminist I like to think women’s lives are hopefully becoming easier!

As a feminist you’ll know women’s lives are 100000% not easier
heck, our prime minister can’t even define what a woman is
our sex based rights are more fragile than ever in spite of the high court ruling last year

I take the mini pill which makea my period less painful and shorter. It is much better

I dont think there is a need to have a period at all. The pill can stop periods altogether
