Meet periodtalk.
September 2019
THE BEGINNING OF OUR CYCLE.
PeriodTalk was founded through a youth entrepreneurship competition based in Boston, MA. As sophomores in high school, we were all too familiar with the stress, discomfort, and stigma that came with getting our first period.
From that point onwards, we made it our mission to revolutionize menstruation, one month at a time.
THE PRINCIPLES OF PERIODTALK.
-
Normalcy
Periods are BLOODY normal.
At PeriodTalk, we are tired of being shamed for our periods. It’s time that we take pride in our periods and reclaim menstruation.
-
Inclusion
Not all women menstruate, and not all menstruators are women.
we must stop gendering menstruation and actively accept and include ALL menstruators, regardless of gender. PeriodTalk is committed to remove the female-centric lens on periods, and give a voice to everyone who menstruates.
-
Sustainability
PeriodTalk is committed to creating environmentally conscious period products so that menstruators can feel confident in the products they choose during their periods.
-
Community
We prioritize giving a voice to young menstruators, so that they can initiate change in their own communities around the world.
“not all women menstruate, and not all menstruators are women.”
