In December 2018 I received an email sharing the following story:
“My sister is scheduled for a hysterectomy next Wednesday. She has been bleeding heavily (about a menstrual cup an hour and needing to use Depends as a backup, because when the cup leaks it’s a flood) since the beginning of October. She finally got her results from the ultrasound and it looks like a lot of fibroids, one the size of a softball. While doing surgery they plan to repair a hernia, and they said they could keep the ovaries. They said because of the size of the fibroids and the bleeding they need to do the hysterectomy.

I’ve been told a lot of lies in my life. “Heavy periods and painful periods are perfectly normal”, they said, and “having crazy mood swings that impact your personal relationships are also normal!” I’ve been led to believe that it’s a Woman’s curse to experience these things. That’s just how it goes, right?

We’ve all been there. You’ve just woken up and popped to the toilet, or you’ve taken a bathroom break at work, and you’ve discovered another surprise stain in your panties.
As if it isn’t annoying enough to have to deal with cramps, heavy flows and bloating, women also have to deal with period stains in our favorite panties and on white bed sheets. It doesn’t really seem fair, does it?
But before you throw another pair of panties in the trash or add them to your designated only-fit-for-your-period pile of ruined panties, stop!
