The Period Fairy

Lize M •  England •  16

It was the first week of lockdown, also the week after my 13th birthday. I’ve always been small and very much a late bloomer. My parents and friends didn’t believe me when I told them so I was stuck trying to put in my mum's super plus tampons on my very first period!



Since then, I have made myself open to talking about periods with other younger girls at my dance school to normalize it as much as possible, I often get called the period fairy!
