CLAMFESSIONS

Mia Timpano has a chat with some Clams and Clam Fans about their period experiences. Get ready for tales of first-times, emotional intensity, soiled hotel sheets and spider-infested bark.

FIRST

Judy Blume. Conspicuous laundry. Dads in the deep end. Period ceremonies.

WORST

Pain. Cramps. Blood letting. Non-stop periods.

BEST

Release. Relief. Rorschach tests. Self care.

Macguyver

Toilet paper tetris. Underwear origami. Spider-infested bark. Stealth pad-placement.

WHOOPS

White school uniforms. Hotel sheets. Cup chaos. Bleeding all over Melbourne.

UPS AND DOWNS

Overreactions. Emotional intensity. Crying at dogs.

HIDE AND SEEK

Sex on your period. Stigma. Squeezing it out. Deal breakers.

ADVICE

What’s cool. What’s not cool. Don’t judge yourself.
