The first time I heard about 'the period' I was watching Roseanne over at my friends house. Darlene said something about getting her period and my friend (age 10 boy) said "what's a period?" and I said , "DUH, it's the dot at the end of a sentence". I kindly got shut down by my mother when she told me I was wrong and she would tell me about it later. She shortly then after bought me this book:
(I can't belive they still sell it)
I was about 8 when she got me the book and I got my period around age 12 at summer camp. I was wearing brightly 80's style striped knee length shorts (kid n' play style). I used pads...then tampons and only recently found out about the cup. I am so upset I didn't know about the cup. I tell every woman I know about it as well as print out fliers and hand them out at music festivals.
I love my cup!
