As part of our “No More Period Dramas” UK Campaign we’re showing that talking about periods isn’t a big deal. Our campaign encourages discussions of everyone’s personal ‘period dramas’ to beat the stigma around menstruation.
To put period dramas into numbers we ran a YouGov survey in January to over 1,000 people who menstruate and the results speak for themselves - we all have our messy moments.
THE RESULTS:
🩸 1 in 2 of us have 'leaked' in a partner's bed
🩸 1 in 4 of us have ruined a towel on our period
🩸 1 in 2 of us have hidden period products on the way to the bathroom
🩸 83% of us get the 'leak fear' on our period
🩸 1 in 5 of us have made a noise in the bathroom to cover up the sound of a Tampon wrapper
🩸 50% of Gen-Z ask their mates to check if they have leaked
🩸 Only 1 in 4 of us feel awkward talking about our periods
