Every day, some 800 million women and girls menstruate, and still, it's considered taboo in many parts of the world. We still can not say the word "periods" in public, as it's considered something dirty. We still change the channel whenever a pads advertisement pops up. Here are some facts about menstruation that every homo sapiens should know!
