Vira Reflects: Who Supported You During Your First Period?

This is the second installment of our monthly photo series, where women reflect on prompts related to our bodies, periods, health, sex, and more. 

We asked 5 Thai women who they turned to for help when they got their first periods and here are their responses. 

If you’d like to share your answer, DM us on Instagram!

Love, Vira

1. “I told my mom, and she taught me how to use a sanitary pad."

2. “I just learned from what my mom did during her period.” 

3. “Mr. Google."

4. “I didn’t know how to use pads, so I asked seniors in [my] dorm.”

5. “Articles taught me about my period before it even started.”
