What is Menstruation Matters?

I’ve spent years having periods that didn’t seem to fit in with what I was ‘supposed’ to have experienced. It’s taken me a long time and being part of a positive community to realise there is no normal. Not everybody is that lucky.

I wanted to create a space that shows menstruation matters, it is an important subject and shouldn’t be shied away from. Our experiences will help others so I wanted somewhere to collate our experiences.

So tell me about your periods, have they changed over time? Perhaps your birth control has changed them or perhaps you’ve recently given birth and are settling back into a new normal. Not all our experiences are positive and those experiences should be shared too.

Perhaps you don’t menstruate, maybe you have in the past or maybe your partner does. But don’t forget its not just women who menstruate, I want to hear from everyone!

I want your real-life stories, your photographs, your poetry and your fiction.
