Customer views and reviews!
Currently reading this book and I'm obsessed with it! As someone who works in sexual health, this is so useful and such an educational read.
A really great read and such a beautiful package! Loved the unique and fun illustrations and the period toolkit suggesting products is really cool.
I've been getting my period for 20 years and I learned so much from this fascinating, extraordinarily informative, easy to read book. I wish it had been around when I first started menstruating, and will be recommending it to all my friends!
