PLAN B LISTEN BACK: PERIOD COACH LISA DE JONG ON THE BANNED TAMPAX AD

Period Shame When the Advertising Standards Authority For Ireland banned the Tampax ad we saw that period shame is still very much alive and kicking in Ireland.   View this post on Instagram   The banning of the tampax ad here in Ireland, like a lot of people, triggered a reaction in me. But, I got really curious and wanted to know more so, I opened up a conversation here on my stories and I learned a lot! . This current story has highlighted for me that this a complex, multifaceted issue filled with systemic and historic trauma. . Thank you for sharing your opinions and stories with me. I really appreciate it. In this video, I go through what I have come to understand, rather than share a personal opinion. I hope you find it helpful. . www.yourcyclematters.com . #menstrualcycleawareness #periodcoach #menstruality #tampax #systemictrauma #endometriosis #sexism #censorship #ireland #tampaxad #asai #traumainformed #womenshealth #shame #womenshealthireland #tampons #language #sexeducation #traumainformed #ireland . @newstalkfm @irishtimesnews A post shared by Lisa de Jong | Women's Coach (@lisa_dejong_coach) on Jul 31, 2020 at 7:58am PDT Period coach, Lisa de Jong, joined Sarina on Saturday's Plan B to discuss what the ban really means and how to rid the stigma associated with females and their periods.   View this post on Instagram   Periods are not any more unsanitary than any other bodily function, they can of course be messy but they are not dirty!
