I think work culture is incredibly toxic and inhuman in general. There are 8 billion of us, we don’t need everyone at work 40 hours a week and it should be expected to take days off when your body needs it. Periods are one of many things that deserve days off.

Honestly yeah! It sounds awful! I’ve heard from friends that it is dreadful. However, i think men should also get “floating free days” just to keep it balance.

I have been on birth control because my periods used to hurt so bad I used to have to check myself out of school.

I fully misread this poll. I thought it was like do you think girls should have the option to magically tell their body to pause their period for a day if it gets too bad. And I’m like why would anyone say no

If it’s an option for you, highly recommend birth control that stops your periods🫶 (or at least delays them to every 3 months)

Right, like my big thing is I am scared that some people would abuse it and make it so only ppl with endometriosis or a similar disorder can use it but there r sooo many people who dont have that or who do and arent diagnosed who have horrible periods and DO need a day off

I think it would honestly be better if everyone got it bc 1. It might make women more comfortable to actually use these leaves and 2. It will take away annoyance from coworkers bc like u could see in the results of this poll

I recommend getting a blood test I was the same way passed out during 2 periods in a row and got a new doctor that finally took me seriously, turns out I had severe anemia and if wasn’t just menstrual symptoms I had to deal with forever

^^ a lot of doctors don’t automatically test vitamin d and iron/ferratin even though a lot of girls are deficient so it’s always good to ask
