To the woman who has strength to deal with every problem in this world -

It is not so easy to keep up with the monthly visitor and wait for it to greet us with its presence again the next month. Getting your period is a normal and natural thing. It should be talked about in direct and clear language. Lack of ease in talking about it can lead to body insecurity.

Having your pad or tampon out in open is not weird. There is nothing to be embarrassed about, not even in buying or sharing an extra pad in public! I am a woman and I bleed from my vagina once a month, which means my body is healthy and working well. Talking about one's health can not be shameful, right?

The point is, if you being a woman, want to talk about your period then feel free to do so. It is not necessary to initiate this but when in a conversation the word comes up, don't feel abashed. Periods are gross. Periods are stinky. Periods are normal. Periods are natural. Periods are not shameful. PERIOD.
