35. The Financial, Physical, and Mental Costs of Our Periods
Manage episode 308154100 series 2986968
IUDs. Sex during periods. Pain. Discomfort. The tampon tax and all the other costs associated with our menstruations. Kristy and Angie tackle some burning questions about the ever so enduring, unbelievably persistent, biological event we unwillingly go through - our periods. We hit up our male friends and asked them to tell us something they know about menstruation and then ask something they want to know about menstruation.
Takeaways:
- We need men to do the work to normalize periods for everyone
- Periods are expensive, and pads and tampons are just the tip of the icebergs
- Severe menstrual cramps are debilitating, physically and mentally
- Just because we experience periods on a regular (or not so regular) basis, does not dilute its severity or legitimacy
Mentions & Resources:
- IUD Expulsion: is it as scary as it sounds?
- Intrauterine Devices (IUDs)
- What is Dysmenorrhea?
- Effects of Premenstrual Symptoms on Bipolar
- Ovulation. Breastfeeding, and Being A Chinese Daughter ft. Georgie Mah
- Building Resiliency and Tearing Down Facades ft. Steven Ngo
- Social Justice with Your Asian Parents ft. Irving Chong
