#LemonChallenge for endometriosis awareness is the Period Wise thing to do!
I challenge Tara at Be Prepared Period, Cathy at Lunette, and Wendy at Period Packs to make a video and suck a lemon for 5 seconds, or/and make a donation to endometriosis research.
And, I challenge you, too, Dear Reader!
Endo sucks. Let’s help find a cure!
If you’ve ever wanted to try a sampling of various and different menstrual products, the opportunity is now. 
The mastermind behind Living Life As A Girl, is planning a giveaway of a huge sampling of pads, liners, tampons and wipes. If you’ve ever wondered what a particular product is like, chances are you will find it among the giveaway goodies she will be offering soon.
Who is she? I’ll let her words speak for her.
When I was about 12 I realized that I loved helping girls. I was always giving my friends advice. Also most girls came to me if they needed help. I started a YouTube channel because I like to help other girls with any help or advice they might need about all girl stuff.
Does she have any period wise advice for girls? Oh, yeah! And, her advice is spot on.
A piece of advice I would give to girls my age would be to talk to their moms if they are feeling scared or need anything.
Check out Living Life As A Girl‘s Giveaway video – be sure to subscribe to her channel and stay tuned for more info about the giveaway!
If you’ve not seen Macy McGrail in the viral video “Camp Gyno,” you have really missed out. Take two minutes and enjoy an fresh, entertaining look as a nine year old girl experiences menarche (her first period) at camp and becomes the camp gyno.
For more on Macy McGrail and menstruation, check out Cosmopolitan’s interview of Macy.
How does Macy’s experience differ from your experience?
What is your initial reaction to the video? to how Macy embraced her first period?
Macy, who has not yet begun to menstruate is already period wise. And, by Macy’s own words, she owes much to her mom and her openness about menstruation.
Holly and Charisse of Ask Mom direct a delightful YouTube video to girls who feel they are “late bloomers.”
Girls who experience puberty’s changes later than their friends often .
If you were a late bloomer, or your girl is, take 3 minutes and view the video below.
Be period wise about your individuality. Acknowledge it. Embrace it. Understand it. Delight in it. Lean fully into it.
If you have or know of a late bloomer, acknowledge their concerns, encourage patience, and reassure them that all is well.
I came across a YouTube video of a girl’s updated (menstrual) product storage. It’s a little long, but if you will do as I did and just briefly scan through it, it’s easy to get a quick glimpse of the variety of products she has available. I have to admit, I was drawn to all the colors and the way she has them organized.
After viewing the video, I glanced into my period stash to see how mine compares to hers. And, I looked at my daughter’s, too.
Mine are organized in similar fashion to the video, but Daughter’s are tossed into a drawer and mingle with deodorant, toothpaste, brushes, hair doo-dads, etc…total disarray.
Watching the video made me want to run out to my local Wal-mart and pick up a few of the newly minted products in the cool colors and sizes. Though I have much of what she showed, for some reason hers looked flashier, newer, more colorful than my own.
There’s nothing like buying and checking out new products.
And, there’s nothing like trying new/different products to gain insight into our flow, period wise.
I wonder…
