The following conversation has happened countless times in the last four months of my life:
“I can’t, I have physical therapy.”
“Oh, for what?”
“My vagina.”

Periods and media — two topics that don’t often go hand-in-hand, especially when it comes to fictional TV shows and movies.

I was young when I got my first period. I had just turned eleven and was still much smaller than the other kids. I wore a training bra that I hid underneath oversized t-shirts and sweaters. I smiled with my lips shut becuase I didn’t want the world to see my multi-colored braces. And I got my period.

Pads? Tampons? Menstrual cups? You do you.
