Everyone agrees that we need to talk more about periods. But should it only be in women’s circles? Why it has been our secret for too long already! If we really want to rid the periods of the taboo and shame associated with it, then we need to play our ace card and bring men to understand menstruation as well as talk about it! This time we’re looking for stories and experiences of all shapes and sizes around men and periods. If you are a guy and want to share your thoughts on periods, or if you’re someone who gets their periods and braved a conversation with a man to break the barrier, send your story in any creative form to us to participate in this contest and win goodies! We’re looking to reward the best encounters and views that bring men into this bloody (wink wink) conversation!

Send us your story in any creative format and get a chance to get your work published on our blog and win exciting goodies! We welcome entries from everyone, regardless of whether you menstruate or not.

A few guidelines for the submissions:
Story submission (written) – Article should be between 800 to 1000 words in a .doc/.docx file
