There are a lot of politics around periods: how we talk about them, how we manage them, who has them. But the truth is, periods are a natural part of the menstruation cycle and shouldn’t be something people are ashamed about. For half of the world, periods are a regular occurrence that signal when the uterus is shedding its lining.
At Teen Vogue, we've always championed being knowledgable about periods and stress the importance of being kind to yourself when going through them. We also understand that everyone approaches their periods differently. While some people use cups, others use tampons. Some people have little discomfort during their “time of the month” while others have serious pain that requires relief. There's much to talk about when it comes to periods.
But at Teen Vogue we believe nothing should stop you from making the world a better place, and the first step to making change is feeling comfortable in your skin.
Launching this month, Teen Vogue has partnered with Ruby Love to create a limited-edition gift box with all the essentials for your first period.
Ruby Love was founded in 2015 with the belief that "periods should never stop women from doing, being and going.” In the years since, they've worked to create underwear, swimwear, and accessories for people with periods. And for our collab box we've included:
- Leak-Proof Satin Underwear
- Feminine Hygiene Pads
- Compact Mirror
- Hygiene Wipes
- Handheld Desktop Fan
- Branded Pen
- Sticker Decals
- Boss Up Lip Gloss
We want you to shine, no matter what time of the month. To order your Ruby Love x Teen Vogue special edition box, go here.
