Periods are a
NO SHAME · JUST REAL TALK
Periods are a
whole vibe.
Fun facts, little life hacks, real stories and the things nobody remembered to tell you about your period.
Let's get into it ↓WELCOME TO THE FUN SIDE
Your period.
Your questions.
Your space.
Sometimes you want the science. Sometimes you just want to know whether a hot-water bottle really helps. Sometimes you need to hear, “girl, you are definitely not the only one.”
The Maureen Journal is where we talk about all of it — simply, honestly and without making periods feel like a school exam.

THE MAUREEN COMMUNITY
Real people. Real moments.
Little snapshots of the people, smiles and community moments behind Maureen — from girls discovering confidence to women sharing what works for them.
YOUNG MINDS
Learning without shame.
Every conversation that makes periods easier to understand helps young people feel seen, prepared and supported.
EMPOWERMENT
Showing up for one another.
Community is built in the moments when we listen, share, learn and make space for one another.
CARE &
KNOWLEDGE
Better care starts with good conversations.
We love moments that connect menstrual care, health knowledge and people who want to make a difference.
BIG CONVERSATIONS
Taking the conversation further.
From local communities to bigger rooms, the goal stays the same: make menstrual health easier to talk about.
GOOD ENERGY
A little joy goes a long way.
Because menstrual health is serious work — but the people and moments around it can still be full of joy.

LATEST FROM THE JOURNAL
Pick your mood.
From first-period questions to tiny hacks that make the day easier.
01PERIOD HACK
♨
Hot-water bottle 101: your cosy little period BFF
That warm hug for your tummy has a reason it feels so good. Here is how to use one comfortably.
A warm water bottle or heat pad
can be a comforting way to relax during period cramps. Wrap it in a cover, use
comfortably warm water rather than boiling water, and give your skin breaks. Never sleep
with a very hot bottle pressed against your skin.
02DID YOU KNOW?
✦
Your period can change — and that doesn't mean you're doing it wrong
Cycle length, flow and symptoms can vary. Your body isn't running on a perfect little timetable.
Periods can vary from one cycle
to another, especially around the first few years after periods begin. Keeping a simple
note of dates and symptoms can help you learn your own pattern. If something feels very
different or worrying, talk with a trusted healthcare professional.
03REAL TALK
♡
“I thought I was the only one who felt like this.”
A reminder that period experiences can be awkward, funny, emotional and completely different for everyone.
One person's period story can
sound completely different from another's. Some people feel energetic, others need more
rest, and many experience a mix. Sharing experiences respectfully can make someone else
feel less alone. Personal stories are not medical advice, but they can be a powerful
reminder that there is no single “period experience.”
04FIRST PERIOD
☀
Your first period happened? Okay bestie, breathe.
A friendly starter guide for the “wait… what do I do now?” moment.
Getting your first period can
bring lots of feelings and lots of questions. Find a comfortable period product, change
it regularly according to its instructions and tell a trusted adult if you need help.
You do not have to know everything on day one. Learning your own body takes time.
05COMFORT CHECK
☁
Make your period-day comfort kit
A tiny bag with the things that can turn “ugh” into “I've got this.”
Try putting your preferred
period products, spare underwear, tissues or wipes, a small snack and anything else that
helps you feel prepared into a little pouch. Keep one at home or in a bag you use often.
The best comfort kit is the one that works for you.
06MYTH CHECK
✷
Let's retire a few period myths, shall we?
Because your period already does enough without carrying around random internet rules.
Periods are surrounded by myths
about food, movement, bathing and what people “should” feel. Reliable health information
is a better guide than rumours. When a question affects your health, check with a
trusted healthcare professional or reputable health source.
