💨 Abstract

The author struggles with severe menstrual pain due to endometriosis. Fed up with uncomfortable and irritating period products, she adopted free bleeding in April 2024. She found it to be convenient, cost-effective, and freeing, reducing her period length and cramping. She advocates for trying it at least once, suggesting it might be beneficial for those with chronic illnesses and can reduce period stigma.
