🌸 A Message from the Original Period Society Team 🌸

While all of the founding members of the Period Society have now officially graduated 🎓, we’re proud to see that conversations about women’s health and menstrual cycle awareness are still thriving at Bristol! 💪

We may not be on campus anymore, but there are still passionate people spreading the message and making waves in the world of women’s health. One of them is Elena, a PhD researcher in the Chemistry Department who’s conducting groundbreaking research with oestrogen to help increase scientific understanding in this crucial area. 🔬💖

Follow [] to stay updated on Elena’s work and for tips on how to live in sync with your cycle for better health and well-being! 🌿 Let’s keep the movement going strong!

Hi everyone, so we at period soc are continuing with our project from last year: we are asking anyone who menstruates to message us your period story.

It can be absolutely anything about your period; the story of your first period, your menstruation self care top tips, a time that you found your period difficult, a time you connected with other women about your period or any other story you want to share. Absolutely any story about your menstrual cycle is welcome.
Our aim with these stories is to make an anonymous collection of them by the end of the year and put on an exhibition of all these amazing period tales to help further normalise menstruation and educate people on all things period. All stories will be anonymous.

Private message us your story. Thank you ❤
