Description
The one stop guide to getting your period.
Getting your first period can be exciting, but there are a lot of questions you might be too embarrassed to ask. Questions like: How much will I bleed? Does it hurt? How can I prepare? And what's the point of a period anyway?
Separating fact from fiction, Milli Hill answers everything you need to know—from menstrual cups and period pants, to cramps and hormones. She'll explain how incredible your body is, what is actually going on each month, and why.
With guidance on choosing period products, charting your cycles, and preparing a first period kit, alongside profiles of 'cycle superstars' such as Amika George, who are working to end period poverty and start open conversations around periods, My Period is the complete guide to getting your period.
So find your flow, bust some myths, and start to feel proud of your monthly cycle and your truly amazing body!
