FirstPeriodStories.com

Menstruation.
It happens to half of the population, yet we almost never talk about it.
That’s why we created FirstPeriodStories.com.
A place that starts the period conversation exactly where it all began: your first period.
No, not in hushed tones with tampons shoved up our sleeves, but in clear print for the whole world to read.
This is a place to share our unique stories to help start the conversation and end the stigma.
Because we're all going through this together. Period.

Over 400 stories submitted to date!

Social

For every story we receive, we create a custom illustration and pull quotes to post to our Instagram.
We also post educational 3-part series about menstrual health once a month.

Time of the Month Newsletter

An email that comes once a month, just like your period.

Period Con 2019

In 2019, we attended PERIOD CON in New York City. Yes, it’s a real thing.
There, we listened to keynote speakers, handed out FPS branded buttons
and hung out with the representatives from Always, Diva Cup, Tampax and so many more.

Launch Party

When you launch a website about periods, you must throw a party with all red decorations.
It’s science.

This project was made from 100% passion.
