Disney’s animated short film The Story of Menstruation is one of those fascinating cultural relics that makes you alternate between curious and confused. It’s really gender normative, but good on them for not telling girls to limit their activities while menstruating, I guess? Follow us on Twitter @mysexprofessor.

Last week I came across this uterus-themed pinata on etsy (above) and thought it was pretty neat. I do, after all, own several vulva puppets and uterus dolls. A couple of days later I received an email from a friend – who had no idea I had come across the uterus pinata on etsy – [...]
Many women reserve their ratty granny panties for that time of the month in fear of ruining a perfectly good pair of panties. Plus, many of us don’t feel all that sexy especially during the first couple days when we’re bloated and crampy. Well there’s now a new type of panty out there just for [...]
The recent change in TSA regulations, requiring passengers chosen at random to either undergo scanning in a dubiously safe backscatter machine, or getting invasively full-body searched, has stirred up many issues related to sexuality, bodies, and personal boundaries.

Okay, I’ll admit it. My sexual health education group is a little bit obsessed with menstruation. Not in a creepy way, we just love informing everyone on campus about exactly what is happening down south during that time of the month.

Earlier this week we featured plain red and unicorn themed menstrual pads from Etsy. Given my longtime fandom for la Dia de los Muertos (aka Day of the Dead), I was pretty happy to stumble upon menstrual pads with this theme too. Who wouldn’t want skeletons on their pads? Except I don’t wear menstrual pads. [...]
Yes, Etsy has gone there. It wasn’t enough to do male body part dresses or uterus dolls (I own and quite like the latter, actually). Etsy is now offering red leakproof cloth menstrual pads that one can wear, wash and re-use for possibly up to 5 years. Oh, and if red isn’t your thing? If [...]
Today I appeared on the Tyra Banks Show (that’s me on the left), along with two OB/GYNS, talking about periods, tampons, sex and more. It seemed like a good time to highlight some additional questions that I commonly receive about periods and that perhaps you have too. For example:
According to an article in The Washington Post, middle school students are attaching tampons and sticking pads to their clothing in order to protest the actions of a school security guard who has been asking middle school girls whether they are on their period. Read the full article here.
