Periods don’t just show up once a month—they come with stories. In this episode, four women from different cultural backgrounds share their personal experiences with menstruation, from the day they thought they were dying to tracking their cycles with friends. The discussion explores how societal attitudes, both traditional and modern, shape conversations about periods. From being sequestered during menstruation in rural Nigeria to debunking myths around tampons in the Philippines, these women reveal the deeply ingrained stigmas that persist globally. They also tackle more taboo topics, like period sex, and what would change if men were more involved in these conversations.
