“Here’s to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them.”
As we finish up this year, we can’t help but look back and give thanks for all of the amazing women that have impacted our lives this year. Starting with you, dear reader and supporter of all things BPP. (Yep, we mean YOU!)
You are changing the way we talk about periods. You are impacting the lives of girls in need in your community. You are boldly standing up for your needs and your right to a healthy period. You are helping to reduce your footprint by making the switch to organic and/or reusable period products. You are educating and empowering yourself on the importance of menstrual health. You are part of the movement to end menstrual shame, once and for all. You are a strong woman.
All month long at Be Prepared Period, we will be celebrating you (and other ladies like you!) by focusing on Strong Women. Why? Because at Be Prepared Period, we believe that women are amazing, and that our stories are powerful.
This month, we’ll be sharing more stories of inspiring women and their journey to health and happiness. But here’s the thing – you have a story to share, too! We truly believe that we can impact the world by just sharing our experiences. Here are just a few ways you can share:

Explore our library of period stories here

Submit your own story here (We can’t wait to hear from you!)

Remember, your voice is important. If you’re reading this, you’ve got a unique perspective that only you can share with the world. And you never know how your story may help or impact another girl just like you! If you feel like you’d like to share your experience with puberty, your first period, your menstrual self care routine, or anything else related to Aunt Flow – please let us know! We would love to hear from you and help you share your unique perspective with the world.

Here’s to a better period,
Tara and the BPP team
