Let's wash away the taboo, the way we wash our period stain sisters!

My dear powerful sisters, you all know how a girl's life changes post periods. A girl has to adjust to this \"new change \" occurring inside her body.Here's the catch, we all understand the need to be supportive of her, then why is it that when she stains it, we help her cover it? That's not us becoming supportive. That's us shaming her indirectly ( and maybe directly sometimes) It's just a period stain Afterall. It can be washed away. 

Now here's a very common scenario all of us have been in. You happen to stain and you don't know that. Your female friend comes to you and whispers that you stained. Definitely, she tries to help you cover it. But what both of us don't realize  is that by covering it, we are helping  a male from  becoming \"uncomfortable \". Even in this time, we think about the men. Because that's how the society has taught us to be. This also shows that we are ashamed of it. NO! He is not supposed to become uncomfortable. He is suppose to be fine. He cannot become \"uncomfortable \" just because the blood coming out is a part of a natural process. 

A few days ago I read this on instagram-Would you cover your wounds the same way you rush to hide your stain? No right? This got me thinking and I am sure it will get you thinking aswell  

We go to every length to prevent staining, we avoid wearing light colored clothes so that by chance if we stain, it won't be that visible. Even if you notice the sanitary pads advertisement, they take pride in showing how their brand's pad avoids leakages. Definitely that's necessary, but what they fail to also mention is whether their brand's pad is comfortable or not? Or whether it prevents fugal infection?  See the main point shifts so easily and tricks us into something else ‍♀

Ladies ,it's just periods. You know the significance of them. It's because of periods that a society can grow. So next time you see someone stain, instead of helping her cover it, give her the moral support, tell her it's okay.  Because if we want the society to be fine with it, we have to support each other other. Not shame each other. 

Like I said, stains can be washed away. So let's not convert something as petty as staining ,a scar in a girl's life.

Let's break this practice and taboo. Life is a lot beyond period stains.
