I created a three-part illustration highlighting a woman’s period. Our periods should not be painful, they should not last longer than a normal week cycle, your doctor should not dismiss your concerns, the products we use should not be harmful to our bodies.

From adolesence, girls are told to get on birth control as a way to regulate their monthly cycle despite the side effects. It’s okay to find a new doctor, do your own research to find alternatives, and advocate for your health. Better days are ahead!
