A study has found that two-fifths of British and Irish schoolgirls drop out of sports due to physical, and social, discomfort surrounding puberty. The stigma surrounding periods, attributed to a lack of communication, is one of the factors preventing girls from feeling comfortable enough to exercise.

As the green wave in shopping continues, people are reevaluating their everyday basics and looking to make eco-minded switches. This includes menstrual products, with the brand Daye offering ethical alternatives that prioritise transparency and sustainability for people who menstruate.

Despite steps being taken to destigmatize periods, people still often experience embarrassment when they menstruate. Midol has launched a campaign to shed a light on the toxic culture of period apologies. Its goal is to boost self-confidence and further the period positivity movement.
