#Periodpoverty is something that affects people all over the world. Period poverty means not having access to the basic essentials such as as pads, tampons, menstrual cups, or pain relievers. Claire Hunt is part of Homeless Period Ireland which was founded in December 2016 with the goal of helping girls and women who are unable to access basic sanitation and female hygiene products every month. #HomelessPeriodIreland core objectives involve breaking the stigma surrounding #menstruation, educating people on the basic hygiene needs of women and ensuring that every woman in Ireland has access to sanitary products.

What happens if you have to choose between period pads and crucial food items for your weekly shop? What should period education look like, and why is it still the worst thing in the world for a girl to bleed through at school? Friday the 28th of May was World Menstrual Hygiene Day. This week's episode deals with related issues as I speak to Claire Hunt, CEO of Homeless Period Ireland, about period poverty, sex and menstrual education, period equity, the environmental impact of period product waste, product access, and more. You can and should follow Homeless Period Ireland on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, and send them some good products if you can. Claire and her gang do hugely important work, bringing pads and other products to people who would otherwise need to use tissue, cloth and similar, or risk infection by using each product for much too long. You can also follow Bits of Me on Instagram and Twitter, and if you haven't already, it'd be much appreciated if you'd give the podcast a quick five-star rating on iTunes, and maybe even a short review, as it helps others discover it. If you're feeling flush, you can sign up to become a patron and get early access to episodes plus some exclusive writing and a Bits of Me badge, in addition to that good feeling of supporting a project you believe in. #bitsofmepod #menstrualhealth #worldmenstrualhealthday #menstrualhygieneday #worldmenstrualhygieneday #menstrualhygieneday2021 #periodpoverty #periodequity #periodeducation #menstrualeducation #sexeducation #periodpolitics #periodstigma #periodshame #blood #bleeding #womenshealth #womensbodies #periods #menstrualcycle #periodproducts #periodjustice #periodproductaccess #freeperiodproducts #homelessperiodireland #perioddignity #homelessperioddublin #smashthestigma

You know periods... But do you know periods? This episode, we're talking about menstruation with the gory, strange and real side of our near 30 years of experience with the red scare, having the builder's in, the Japanese flag, the rag or whatever you like to call the humble period. In this episode, we make up sayings such as: "acting starchy", "on death's bed", "distinct distinction" and "biological anatomy". Recommendation for the squeamish: have your finger hovering on that skip 15 seconds button.

In the first of a two-part series, we explore why we find periods so hard to talk about and what can be done to help break the stigma that still exists around them. For today’s show, Kathy is joined by Labour councillor Deirdre Kingston, Niamh Dunne, a youth ambassador for Plan International Ireland, and by Claire Hunt of Homeless Period Ireland, to discuss first periods, taboos, period poverty and lots more.

In show thirty-five, Tara joins Claire Hunt of Homeless Period Ireland to find out all about what they do. What is period poverty and is there anything we can do about it, short or long term? What counts as a luxury item? On getting caught out, smashing shame, comforts and treats and old loopy pads. The power of volunteering. Why Ireland is still leaving people behind on essentials in 2019. And not really knowing what churching is, thank goodness.

In show twenty-six, award-winning author Emilie Pine helps Tara to do a deep dive on periods. Tara and Emilie aren’t doctors, instead, they jump the chat off from Emilie’s essay Notes on Bleeding and Other Crimes from her bestseller Notes to Self (Tramp Press). Why are we still so reluctant to talk about periods? What if you’re not having them? And what’s the deal with disgust?  Also: to hair or not to hair, and creaming. What’s a leg hat and why would someone throw a scarf down their leg? All will be revealed.
