Periods are a pain that many are familiar with. And by that, I don’t only mean the actual pain that comes with having your period. I mean the entire package – the mood swings, the cravings, the cramps, the back aches, the *insert whatever weapon mother nature uses to torture you.*

But even though a “visit from Aunt Flo” might entail different things for different people, it’s something most women go through every month. So, in order to remind them that they’re not alone in experiencing this, today we’re talking about periods and making it fun. On the list below, you will find some of the funniest and most relatable memes, as shared by the ‘Related To Period’ Instagram account, that ought to make you laugh or at least nod in agreement. So if you’re looking for some funny and relatable content to browse, wait not a second longer and start scrolling through!

On the list below, you will also find thoughts shared by endocrinologist and medical doctor specializing in menstrual cycles, professor at the University of British Columbia, Jerilynn C. Prior, who was kind enough to answer a few of Bored Panda’s questions.

    Created in 2019, the ‘Related To Period’ Instagram account now has close to 57,000 followers. And even though the content is somewhat lighthearted—mostly funny and relatable memes—such accounts can play a significant role when it comes to diminishing the stigma surrounding such topics as menstruation.

    Discussing the topic with Bored Panda, Prof. Jerilynn C. Prior, a medical doctor specializing in menstrual cycles, noted that people need to be accurate, respectful and brave when talking about menstrual flow, given the negative stereotypes and taboos.

    “That means we must use and teach our daughters—and also our sons—to use accurate anatomical language. In this teaching we must be straightforward and direct,” she said.

    The need to educate everyone—female and male—is evident when looking at how taboo the topic of menstruation still is. According to a survey of boys and young men carried out by Plan International, many of them avoid the topic, as they consider menstruation to be a ‘private matter’ for girls and women.

    The survey also found that the male respondents, aged 16 to 25, reportedly associated periods with such words as ‘dirty’ (55%), ’embarrassing’ (31%), and even ‘disgusting’ (38%).

    (Male) doctors would've sought remedies centuries ago if us fellas had to deal with menstruation. Or there'd at least be an attitude of, "Bro, I get it. Take the week off" as opposed to, "Have an aspirin. You'll be fine; dealing with pain is just part of being a woman. It can't really be all that bad." Tell me again who's the weaker s*x?

    He knows it happens every month. He was just surprised the month passed so quickly.

    Seeking to spread awareness and information regarding the physical and psychological causes and effects of ovulation disturbances on women’s overall health, in 2002, Prof. Prior founded the Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research (CeMCOR). “The centre’s vision and goal is to ‘reframe scientific knowledge of the menstrual cycle and ovulation in a woman-centred context,’” she told Bored Panda.

    But even though it’s important to be straightforward and accurate when talking about menstrual flow and women’s health, it’s not uncommon for people to use euphemisms when talking about the topic.

    According to Clue, in Germany, for instance, women refer to periods as “strawberry week,” a “visit from the red aunt” or the “relative from Rotenburg” (the latter meaning “red castle”), or “riding the red wave,” among others.

    The French also make the connection to strawberries, referring to periods as “strawberry season.” They also use such phrases as “ketchup week,” “the little clown with a nose bleeding,” or call periods “Niagara falls.”

    I was in active labor and 4 cm dilated and DIDN’T EVEN KNOW because the pain I was feeling wasn’t even close to my period pain. Only found out I was in labor because I happened to be at my regular checkup. Doc couldn’t believe I didn’t know I was having contractions. But sure, since it’s not having a baby, I’ll just go to work when I have cramps.

    Apparently some jobs in the US offer period leave (according to Ask a Manager; I’m not American and don’t get specific period leave myself). But then our good XY friends have to go wreck it by complaining that they don’t get period leave too and it’s “discriminatory” for them to not get it. Jerks.

    While it’s evident that people everywhere can get quite creative when it comes to talking about periods, it’s crucial that they are familiar with the actual terminology, too, as well as with the processes affecting women’s health. And while browsing memes might not be the way to learn about them, they can count as a step towards making periods a less stigmatized topic, at least.

    I saw a reddit comment once that fits so perfect here and I laugh every f'ing time...girl on her period needed the restroom and went into the first one at the store. She had unknowingly gone in the men's room. Opened the pad, and a dude in another stall said something along the lines of "d**n, must be a bad one if you gotta bring snacks!" and now that's all I think of when I hear a period wrapper.

    I never got used to tampons because it hurts too much. No matter the size or the brand, that stuff hurts all the time it's there. Menstrual cups hurt too. I can't understand how women can go around with that stuff inserted inside.. paaaaiiinn

    If you get them up high enough you shouldn't feel it, but it's still such a hassle so I don't use them either.

    I can’t wear tampons because I have a condition that means it hurts too much to insert them. (Ladies probably know what I’m referring to here). So it just means granny undies for me every month or so. Sigh.

    Cups are your best friend if you can use them. They take some practice and yes, are a bit messy sometimes but zero pain, they hold a lot, can't feel a thing, and they don't have a bunch of harmful s**t in them.

    About being on your period? Nah. I think once you get out of your teens you can talk to most women about periods. I had a detailed conversation with a colleague (team-member, but close acquaintance tops) about her period giving her grief. After a certain age you get past being embarrassed and are just like “eh, most women have dealt with this. They get it.”
