Menstruation comes with many misconceptions.
MYTH 1: “Periods are dirty or impure."
FACT:Menstruation is a natural biological process. It’s simply the shedding of the uterine lining – nothing “dirty” about it!
MYTH 2: “You shouldn’t exercise on your period."
FACT:Exercise can actually help relieve cramps and improve mood. There’s no reason to skip it if you feel up for it!
MYTH 3: “People should hide that they’re on their period."

Together, we can break these myths and embrace menstruation as a healthy, natural part of life. Let’s support and empower each other!
