Brandish your tampon – and reclaim the V-word
I have always hated the word ‘sanitary’ in relation to towels and tampons – as though there were some need to decontaminate this most natural and inevitable of processes. That a stigma should ever be attached to anything as commonplace as the monthly reproductive cycle defies logic – but when was the last time you openly took a tampon out of your bag and held it in plain view as you walked to the toilet? Precisely. There seems to be no good time or place for our vaginas – but feeling in the dark has done us all a huge disservice.
