That's why we're here to help. There's a lot of information out there. Some of it has been around a long time. But that doesn't necessarily make it right. Misconceptions about periods, PMS and women in general contribute to bad decisions, embarrassment and negative stigmas.1 At Always, we feel it's important to demystify those misconceptions so that you can have a happier, healthier period. So we've made a list of the top 10 period myths. Check them out - you might be surprised by the truth.
