What this book is about

• My Period – Everything You Want to Know About Periods is a card-based learning kit created by UK social enterprise Hey Girls, known for their mission to end period poverty and normalise period education.
• Inside the box, you’ll find 50 large, beautifully designed cards and a mini guidebook that explains how to use them, including learning outcomes and activity ideas.
• Each card has a fun illustration on one side and clear, age-appropriate information on the other – covering everything from anatomy and discharge to cramps, moods, and period products.
• The cards explain practical details like how to use pads and tampons, what period blood can look like, and what to do about leaks or pain.
• They even include myth-busting facts and tricky questions, such as “How many openings are there between a girl’s legs?” (the answer: three!).
• These cards are ideal for one-on-one chats or small group discussions – you can go through them in order or pick topics that come up naturally.
• They’re perfect for parents who want to build their child’s confidence and comfort with periods, or for teachers and youth workers looking for an engaging classroom resource.
• Supportive, inclusive, and practical, My Period – Everything You Want to Know About Periods helps take the embarrassment out of period talk and replaces it with knowledge and empowerment.
