Thank you for having us at @UICTug, It was a pleasure engaging with your students on menstrual health, breaking myths and sharing practical information on menstrual products, including Flow Cups. We’re glad to be part of creating a more informed and period-friendly university!
Yesterday we had a session about menstrual health at @UICTug which was conducted by @EquityPeriod they educated us about a lot of things about menstrual health including the use of Flowcups which will help our students during there menstrual cycle.
