Friends’ talk: what’s up with my menstruation?
Keywords:

What is our relationship with our menstrual flow? Has it happened to you that you feel embarrassed when someone realizes that you have a tampon or a sanitary pad? Well, this is not a coincidence. The attitudes and ideas that we have about this process result from social constructions beyond the biological, and that is what I will talk to you about today. I want us to chat as friends and I want to show you my research, in which I found that the duration of menstrual flow increases with meat consumption and the use of disposable products (compared to eco-friendly ones). Of course, I also present some health and environmental impacts worth considering. So go grab a cup of tea or coffee and get ready, because today we’ll talk about menstruation!
