As three women sat on a roof, having lunch and sharing their first period stories, they realized something. That each of their stories were unique, yet totally relatable. They wanted to hear more. All 3.7 billion of them.

Firstperiodstories.com is a place to share our unique stories, whether they be funny, cringe-worthy, or just plain awkward.

It's a place for those experiencing their first period can go and not feel so alone. Because we all know you can be armed with tampons and pads, and still not be ready for your period.

This is a place for us to laugh, because how else are we supposed to deal with the once-a-month war in our uterus?

But mostly, this is a community that supports each other, no matter what bloody mess we're in. Because we're all going through this together.

Period.
