These symptoms include irritability, intense anger or mood swings, insomnia, withdrawing, overwhelm, fatigue, restlessness, severe anxiety, thoughts of harming yourself or your baby.

Have you ever considered how women in Kenya manage their menstruation without access to water or a toilet in their homes? (It's very difficult!) Did you know that girls in Kenya stay home from school 2-3 days per month during their period because they don't have access to menstrual products? (That's 10-20% of their school days!) How about how well used pads burn? (They don't. They're made of plastic! And they get stuck in hoses that clean pit latrines.)   Our guest shares her experience on the lack of women's voices in public policies, her research on introducing reusable menstrual cups to girls in developing countries, and teaching a group of Kenyan men how menstrual cups work. She also touches on women in the US and their experience with menstrual cups.
