Episode Two: Period Piece

Gird your loins, it's the period episode! Aunt Flow, The Crimson Tide, The Curse, Lady Times..... In this week's episode we have a discussion about periods - the good, the bad, and the sometimes mortifying. We'll discuss the movement to normalize periods, transgender men and their periods, new period products, period sex, and of course - some period horror (but funny when we look back on them) stories.

We love sharing our own stories, but we also do some real research and will always share it here in the episode notes. There are quite a few to share for episode two, and if there's anything you'd like more info on that we didn't cover or link, please reach out to us at thebottombible@gmail<dot>com or slide into our DMs on Instagram or Twitter.
