Yeah, it's really a good thing that periods are becoming less of a taboo topic these days. The older generations definitely kept hush-hush about such natural bodily functions, which led to a lot of mystery and embarrassment for us kids. I remember the confusion and wonder if other girls my age were more "prepared" than me when it came to period preparedness. It's like a right of passage that nobody talks about!It's heartening to see the boldness of these advocates speaking up; what a contrast from the hush-hush attitude towards "aunt flow" visits when we were growing up! I recall feeling embarrassed as a teen, trying to discreetly stock up on sanctions during my first period. Today's openness is a welcome shift and will definitely empower the next generation.
