Periods are #BloodyNatural | Let's end period shame | The Body Shop India

It has been normal for society to shame periods. But periods are #BloodyNatural. It's the society that's strange. We at The Body Shop India believe that a conversation can change the world. It's time to talk about periods as the natural phenomena that they are. #DropThePWord into your conversation to end period stigma.

I am a man and this is the first time I am searching for an ad & watching it. This is a fantastic ad. I would happily do it & i would feel privileged if a female friend of mine asks me to buy a pad or a tampon or a cup for her. WTH is there to hide?? Periods are normal. PERIOD.

I don't know why we can't talk about period in front of our dad, brother etc . Whats the problem in this 😒🤧

In 6th grade we were taking an important test. In the morning everyone was preparing for the test and going to the bathroom. I was on my period that day. When I got up to get my pencil from the floor, 5 of my friends pointed out my skirt was stained. I didn't know what to do since this was the first time it happened, so I was pretty nervous. One of my friends told the teacher. She came next to me and quickly handed me a pad. She was also kind enough to give me her jacket to wrap around my waist while going to the bathroom. When I got back, she told me to sit on her jacket. I am forever grateful for her.

Why this types of ads are not shown on TV? This ad should be show on TV.
It's natural and normal. No need to shy of talk about periods, sanitary pads, tampons or any thing related to menstruation.
Talk to your brother, your father, or any about it freely.

My dad always bought my pads, tampons and even my first period cup. He would ask me to note down which brand I like so that he can buy the one I like. I'm an adult now and when he sees pads on sale, he still asks me if I need them <3. That's how real men behave.

Edit: We went to the store yesterday and he helped me find the pads that I use. When we saw that there wasn't enough stock, he looked through all the other types of pads on the shelf, asking me if I wanted to get any of the different types he was picking out. We were literally shopping for pads together. I hope other fathers display the same type of care for their children.

It happened to me in a shopping centre, a young boy was at the billing & there were 2 men in the counters for different customers. I went to the other counter next to the boy for my billing. I noticed that the guy was showing the pad packet to the guy who was serving me & they both laughed at the boy because he was buying pad. It can be for his mom, sis, gf or any female.
Well this shows the mentality of Some men like them.

When i was in schl, i also had stain on my school skirt, and then one boy noticed it and passed a comment, that really hurt but then 5-6 boys of my cls only came to me talk to me about the incident and also asked me to don't get worry, it is normal.. i really gained respect towards them...if any of those boys who support me that time is reading this, thankyou so much guys, world needs you❤️

[Rfilmss_]

I feel so heartwarming when I see men respecting our menstrual cycle issues ... Thanks to all those beautiful guys out there for being forward minded🙏

[abantika]

I have heard people call periods " down hogayi" "happy birthday hogaya" " can't go to temple" someone has even asked me once before letting me touch her baby.. "Are you on periods?? Bcz my baby gets scared n impure from such a touch".
It's painful but normal and we should be free to discuss it.. thankfully I have a family where I never faced such things.. instead my dad forced me to attend durga puja and wear new clothes in periods.. it's natural and normal.

Family: STOP ACTING WIERD IN FRONT OF THE GUEST

meanwhile, me having a niagra falls of period

[shahadathossain]

I'm 12 and it’s not been too long since I got my first period. One day I accidently stained my school uniform and I didn’t noticed it. At that time two senior students noticed me. They came and helped me. We didn’t felt any shame in it.

[weirdbeing]

I'm so glad that my father talked to me about periods freely before I even got it and even when I got it I told him about it and now I talk to him freely about anything.

[ashishishwardan]

As a boy I can understand the Society is judgmental and will help girls who are in periods....it's a natural society is so periods are Normal thing ...whats wrong with bless all women and girls....God will take care of you

[rinidays]

My mother didn't even told me about what period is. Even on the first day she didn't tell me anything when I told her I was bleeding from my main part (that's what I used to call my vagina at 12) and she didn't told me anything about it just that I shouldn't say this things infront of my brother. She didn't give me pad or anything. I was so scared I thought I had some serious disease or something and next day I went to tution wearing long skirt and staining everywhere I sat. My skirt was all red from behind and I didn't even care. I went home and my mom was shocked and gave me pad told me how to wear and told me stupid story about it and told me to not touch achar, not to go near temple and many such things and it's still the same and I am 21. I shamelessly do everything she tells me not to do on my periods cause I never see any changes she said would happen. Periods are bloody normal. Nothing happens if you go to temple or touch achaar or papad or anything.

When you have a brother at home, taking out pad from cupboard feels like stealing a necklace from your own house.

Edit- 1st time I got 1k likes in comment. Lol.
