the period project

rant forty-nine: contractions

@skyhighkitteh 

ladies, did you know that the lower back pain you get while you're on your period is actually your hips widening? because -- it's like a mini labor, really -- your vagina needs to contract or some shit so that the blood can get out of your uterus and little lady. that's right. we go through (mini) labor every fucking month. whoop-de-fucking-doo. enjoy your cravings, sexual needs, dirty underwear and getting stabbed in the abdomen, everyone! xoxo
