Created in consultation with young people, an online survey and a group of medical professionals, this is a book that teaches all people about periods, which can be a scary and overwhelming issue
Promoting the fact that everyone either has periods or knows someone who does, the book reduces the anxiety
children face in asking for help
It offers direct advice on what periods look and feel like and how to manage hygiene and pain
It also breaks up information using flaps and step‐by‐step photos of how to change pads and tampons, it discusses alternatives to tampons and pads, and gives information about possible sensory issues for people with autism
