Rot ist doch schön – Fun&Facts rund ums Thema Menstruation
Red Is Beautiful – Fun&Facts about Menstruation
Why do I blush a little when a tampon falls out of my bag in public? Why do I say I’m sick even though I have period cramps?
And why did my gym teacher roll his eyes every time a girl asked to be excused from class?
In short: Why, why, why is the topic of menstruation a taboo?
This book aims to clear up misconceptions and encourage you to talk about your period openly and without embarrassment.
