Twitter at it’s best is a generator of great discourse and very funny snippets about almost anything – including the menstrual cycle! At Natracare, we’re invested in conversations around periods, breaking taboos and learning about bodies.
Experiencing periods is not always easy, whether it’s period cramps, robust cravings, or a roller coaster of mood swings – those that have periods can also have a laugh, and those that don’t can learn whilst laughing. So in honour of much of the world’s population bleeding monthly we put together some of our favourite tweets about periods:
- Did I do that? 👀
- Spilling the tea on plant based plastic 🍵
- Ready for Broadway
- It’s like the period ringtone
- If periods were visible…
- RIP my uterus
- What are you into?
- We stan Charli XCX
- If boys had periods…
- Our new favourite code word
- Where’s the lie?
- I’m sorry, matriarchy
- Keeping it real 💯
- Genius DIY pocket
- Which grammatical punctuation is better?
- Sorry, not sorry…
- She’s the man
- Is your vagina connected?

'Plant-based tampon applicator' 🌿 It sounds like a good choice, right? The sustainable option? 🤔 Think again! Here's: https://t.co/wUXLf1KlH5 why they're not as sustainable as you might think! 😦 #ApplicatorsUnwrapped pic.twitter.com/sZCVmjIwfJ

You all can keep your menstrual tracking apps: I am “crying to the Beatles while driving” days away from my period.

I normally feel so guilty when any girl asks me for a pad/ tampon and I don't have one
It's like I've betrayed the matriachy 😭— Manzi wa Nairobi (@City_girllll) October 31, 2019
Everyone wants you to "just be real" until you send nudes with a tampon string and a few drops of blood.
Then it's all EEEEEW PLEASE PUT YOUR CLOTHES BACK ON AND BE A LITTLE LESS REAL

Who called a woman’s menstrual cycle a period and not a sentence?

I took a tampon out of my backpack and put it in my pocket and the guy behind me really had the audacity to say “that wasn’t very discreet”??? I wasn’t trying to be discreet, Chad, I was trying to get a tampon. Mind your business

You know when you get a nosebleed and all you have in your bag is an old mint, a tampon and a hair brush? All we're saying here: https://t.co/0n0dS9iwMt is you can't rely on a hairbrush to stop the bleeding. A tampon, however… 😉 pic.twitter.com/OBtcFaIXEU
