Menstrual Musings

In this episode of Menstrual Musings, Erin and Ella had the absolute privilege of chatting with lead singer of The Menstrual Cramps, Emilia, about their inspirations and personal motivations behind their music. Emilia describes the band as queer punk - as a voice for the Others within our current political climate. The band is unapologetically vocal about what exactly it is that makes them angry, and why we should all use our voices for change.

How much do you really know about endometriosis?

In this episode Ella and Erin interview two university students, Emily and Alex, about their experiences being diagnosed and treated for endometriosis and how their healthcare experiences have differed.

Ever been told a tampon with break your hymen? That you will sync up with your friends? Or feel like you can't be angry on your period?

In this episode Ella and Erin chat to friends about about common misconceptions around menstruation, and how they have a big impact on the way in which we deal with, see and understand our periods.

In this instalment of Menstrual Musings we had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Livvi, the founder of Bloody Amazing! Bloody Amazing is a Scottish social enterprise with the aim of making menstrual education that is clear, inclusive and sustainable a part of the Scottish school curriculum.
