Menstruation, also called a "period", is a normal biological process experienced by millions around the world each month.
A period happens when blood and tissue from the uterine lining is shed and leaves the body through the vagina.
Menstrual hygiene is important for your health – it can help prevent infections, reduce odours, and keep you comfortable during your period.
You can choose many types of menstrual products to absorb or collect blood during your period, including sanitary pads, tampons, menstrual cups, menstrual discs, and period underwear.
