As someone who has always viewed menstrual periods as a natural and normal part of life, I’ve never shied away from discussing them openly. When my partner is experiencing her period, I make it a point to be supportive and helpful. One particular experience stands out, where she confided in me about her sanitary pad preferences. I took it upon myself to make a quick trip to the supermarket, feeling a sense of pride and responsibility in being able to provide for her needs during that time. What struck me most was the trust she placed in me, and I made sure to reciprocate that trust by making her feel comfortable and cared for. It’s moments like these that remind me of the importance of being an ally and supporter, not just during menstruation, but in all aspects of life.
